I'm creating a mod that needs to detect if a player is within the bounding box of a entity brush, lets say for example, a "trigger_hurt" entity.

Has anyone seen a previous plugin, or know a way to detect if a player is inside a brush?

Thanks

for trigger_multiple i use
HookSingleEntityOutput(ent, "OnStartTouch", StartTouch, false); - inside
HookSingleEntityOutput(ent, "OnEndTouch", EndTouch, false); - outside

Yes, you either spawn a trigger_multiple with the same mins and maxs as your trigger_hurt and hook the above outputs or do some pretty cpu intensive calculation each frame or player think to check, if the player's origin is inside the rectangle. I think the Death Zone plugin has such a function.

use sdkhooks touch hook. most trigger type brushes are non solid but still fire touch callbacks.

I tried the following on the brush trigger_hurt, and they did not work.

1) Tried this after you posted it, good idea, but failed.

Have yet to try peace-maker's suggestion, or to try Nail's suggestion with a trigger_multiple.

Update: The trigger multiple under Nail's example worked. A note to those trying this, make sure when editing the map, the entity's flags are set for clients and bots.

I think OnStartTouch on trigger_hurt is fired only when it hurt someone

OnStartTouch Fired when an entity starts touching this trigger. The touching entity must pass this trigger's filters to cause this output to fire. (activator is the toucher)

maybe try to use TR_TraceHull*
