Detect if TraceAttack hit world (wallshot)?

elymination · **Author**

hey.
I am working on a plugin and I am using DHooks to hook TraceAttack.
is there a way to know whether or not the hit was done through a surface? I tried a lot of things to no avail (reading a bunch of CTakeDamageInfo members, CBaseTrace::plane, CGameTrace::surface, etc).

maybe TraceAttack is not what I need in this case?

any help would mean a lot! thanks <3

This might help.

What is the reason not to use TR_TraceRayFilterEx(for example, TR_EnumerateEntities)?
Why DHooks? DHooks is outdated, and in my opinion is not supported anymore.

This fork of DHooks is what most people refer to as "DHooks" nowadays and it's still supported and widely used.

I should indeed be able to trace between both entities eyePos to detect a wallshot, but I am also looking for a way to be able to force the attack to be through a wall.

in my specific case, I am redirecting shots to the head. right now, if I shoot a visible hand, it will deal a headshot without it being considered a wallbang. I would like to be able to fix that (i.e. if a player is damaged, I need to detect if the head is visible. if not, it should deal a wallshot to the head).

I will continue to investigate
