HamSandWich function:
PHP Code:
Ham_TraceAttack 
Description:
Forward: This function is called when an entity is shot by another player (weapon, not grenade.)
Function: This function simulates a weapon attack on an entity.
You should use this function when you want to simulate an attack by a weapon from a player (like a gunshot!)

Parameters:
(ent, attacker, float:damage, Float:direction[3], trace, bits)
- ent is the entity that has been shot
- attacker is the entity that shoot the victim
- damage - this is the damage done by the shot but it does not have the hitgroup multiplication done (that is done before TakeDamage Call)
- direction - this parameter has a very important roll, it is a normalized vector that shows the direction of the bullets path
- trace - the trace handle that offers lots of useful information
- bits - the damage bits

Forward usage:
PHP Code:
#define SHOT_DISTANCE_POSSIBLE 2048.0

// plugin_init()
Register_Ham(Ham_TraceAttack"func_breakable""fw_traceatt_break")

public 
fw_traceatt_break(entattackerfloat:damageFloat:direction[3], tracebits)

    xs_vec_mul_scalar
(directionmultistart)
    
    
// This is how to correctly get the start origin!

Function true usage:
PHP Code:
#define SHOT_DISTANCE_POSSIBLE 2048.0

public Ham_Shoot(attackerdamagebitsbool:can_penetrate)
{
    new 
Float:angles[3], Float:start[3], Float:end[3], Float:direction[3], Float:fakeend[3]

- direction - this parameter has a very important roll, it is the tangent of the line that the bullet goes
I don't understand this. Is it the direction vector from the attacker to the victim?

Let me explain in vectors.
We have the endposition of the bullet.
ENDPOS
We have the gun tube from where the bullet was fired.
STARTPOS
Direction is xs_vec_normalize(ENDPOS-STARTPOS), it shows the angles.

Ok that's what I thought. Tangent is not a good word to use there in this case. The tangent of the bullet's path is constantly changing throughout it's parabolic path (I don't know if they consider gravity for bullets in these games ).

Gravity does not influence bullets. So Tangent is the best term (I think) to describe it.
If you have a better suggestion please let me know .

"[Unit] vector in the direction of the bullets path."

[unit] only if it's normalized.

The tangent of a straight line is the line itself. When I first read it I was thinking perpendicular for some reason which would mean it was a plane lol .

It's called normal vector i guess.

NOTE The terms "perpendicular," "orthogonal," and "normal" all mean essentially the same thing - meeting at right angles. However, it is common to say that two vectors are orthogonal, two lines or planes are perpendicular, and a vector is normal to a given line or plane.

Normalize => convert to vector of length 1 (aka unit vector).

!=

normal vector (Emp explains above)
