This concept is similar to arrow colliding another arrow; it'd destroy each other. But I'm trying to do it with "tf_projectile_flare" and "tf_projectile_rocket."

But would I use SDKHooks work for this? Or should I use something like this: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=197815

I would say try looking at the datamap of the entity. For example, CTFBall_Ornament - tf_projectile_ball_ornament. Check that out, search for collision, see what you find and experiment with it

Also I've not messed around with entity collision myself yet, so I don't really know, but I think the datamaps are the way to go.

I'll look into it.

I think SDKHooks should work.

public void OnEntityCreated(int entity, const char[] classname)
{
	if (StrContains(classname, "tf_projectile_") != -1)
	{
		SDKHook(entity, SDKHook_Touch, Hook_Touch);
		//Forgot which touch hook to use, one of them gave me troubles
		//SDKHook(client, SDKHook_StartTouch, Hook_Touch);
	}
}

public void Hook_Touch(int entity, int other)
{
	char other_classname[32];
	GetEntityClassname(other, other_classname, sizeof(other_classname));
	
	if (StrContains(other_classname, "tf_projectile_") != -1)
	{
		//do something
	}
}

Oh, so then I do know the answer somewhat! I had a brain fart when I made that first post and completely forgot to mention to use SDK Hooks to make the modification despite me having just released a plugin that modifies projectiles. I am a doofus sometimes.

But yeah, use the SDK code up there (because I use SDKHooks in my Enhanced Rockets plugin which changes the projectile model) and where it says "do something", that's where you would send the new collision data to the projectile.

Interesting, I thought I needed to constantly do tracerays on the projectile. I'll try this and report back

Oh lord no. That would be awful.

It doesn't seem to be accounting projectiles for touch, unless the aim has to be exact. Any other theories? Maybe I need to change the hitbox of the flare projectile, but wouldn't that require a modded model?

[RumbleFrog]

I take that back, I changed the model to something bigger like a cow, but now I have another issue.

I currently have this:

public void OnEntityCreated(int entity, const char[] classname)
{
	if (StrEqual(classname, Rocket_Projectile))
	{
		SDKHook(entity, SDKHook_StartTouch, Hook_Touch);
	}
	
	if (StrEqual(classname, Flare_Weapon_Projectile))
	{
		SDKHook(entity, SDKHook_SpawnPost, Hook_SpawnPost);
	}
}

public void Hook_SpawnPost(int entity)
{
	SetEntityModel(entity, "models/props_2fort/cow001_reference.mdl");
}

My theory of the problem is that it have to finish the call of SpawnPost before it can act on any other hooks such as the StartTouch. But since, it takes like a solid second for SpawnPost to be done, I have to really far away to fire the projectile for it to finish in time for StartTouch.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is just my theory.

Any other way to set models without SDKHooks?

Try RequestFrame,

public void OnEntityCreated(int entity, const char[] classname)
{
	if (StrEqual(classname, Rocket_Projectile))
	{
		SDKHook(entity, SDKHook_StartTouch, Hook_Touch);
	}
	
	if (StrEqual(classname, Flare_Weapon_Projectile))
	{
		RequestFrame(Frame_SetModel, entity);
	}
}

public void Frame_SetModel(int entity)
{
	SetEntityModel(entity, "models/props_2fort/cow001_reference.mdl");
}
