Why do we have to check fraction first? We initially set proper distance for traceline, don't we?..

Likely a sanity check. It should be okay to remove it since you are checking against a specific provided entity.

Thank you!

Now I will use that stock:

PHP Code:

// fakemeta_util.inc code with some replaced natives
stock fm_is_ent_visible( index, entity, ignoremonsters = 0 ) {
    new Float:start[3], Float:dest[3]
    entity_get_vector( index, EV_VEC_origin, start )
    entity_get_vector( index, EV_VEC_view_ofs, dest )
    xs_vec_add( start, dest, start )

    const GLOBAL_TRACERESULT_HANDLE = 0

    entity_get_vector( entity, EV_VEC_origin, dest )
    engfunc( EngFunc_TraceLine, start, dest, ignoremonsters, index, GLOBAL_TRACERESULT_HANDLE )

    return get_tr2( GLOBAL_TRACERESULT_HANDLE, TR_pHit ) == entity
}
