Thank you
I don't understand yet why I can't set the same direction for the gibs as from the map plane, but I think I'll figure it out.

PHP Code:

toss_gibs(Float:origin[3], Float:fvNormal[3])
{
    message_begin(MSG_BROADCAST, SVC_TEMPENTITY)
    write_byte(TE_BREAKMODEL)
    write_coord(floatround(origin[0]))
    write_coord(floatround(origin[1]))
    write_coord(floatround(origin[2]))
    write_coord(SIZE)
    write_coord(SIZE)
    write_coord(SIZE)
    write_coord(floatround( fvNormal[0] * THROWING_POWER ) )
    write_coord(floatround( fvNormal[1] * THROWING_POWER ) )
    write_coord(floatround( fvNormal[2] * THROWING_POWER ) )
    write_byte(VELOCITY_RANDOM)
    write_short(g_model)
    write_byte(random_num(8, 16))
    write_byte(LIFE)
    write_byte(0)
    message_end()
} 


I don't think that is a big issue you can simply pass through the normal vector into the message through out the function

TR_vecPlaneNormal tests fine with your code for me; I get a reading and the effect looks good for func_tankmortar only. One could try entity_get_vector of index from scorch decal it leaves.
