He jsut told me not to sue TraceLine, becuz that ignores un-solid and SOLID_TRIGGER objects. The EntMod by DrunkenF00l was able to find SOLID_NOT too from a distance. Basically, ti could find every possible entity, even the water.

Yes, but it's not a very good idea to set it to SOLID_BBOX because, using this method, I would have to set all entities to SOLID_BBOX and this will just complicate things because the easiest method to do it would be on spawn or FM_KeyValue and then resetting the solid value will be a bit more complicated especially if more players are moving entities at the same time and there are better ways of doing it by keeping the values as they are, I'm pretty sure of that.

It doesn't complicate anything, solid is immediately restored after trace.

Yes, but ti is for all entities, it'd better be only for the entity that u are aiming at no matter what kind of trigger entity it is, not jsut a weapon.

No, that's what you understood. I did not tell you not to use traceline, as there are workarounds for this, by adding more code instead of only using traceline.

You have to do something similar to your first code, but as you seem confused(mixing TR_ members) I suggested you to actually check what they mean. Anyway, what you have to do:
-make a traceline from player gun position
-check if you hit something with TR_pHit.
-if it's 0 then you have to get the end position with TR_vecEndPos and search around that origin with find_sphere_class, get the entity that's closer to your origin(if there are more entities) and that's what you should hit. This is a workaround, BECAUSE SOLID_TRIGGER ENTS AREN'T HIT BY TRACELINE.

Yes but, will this work even if they are not on ground? Like fi the distance between the end position and entity position is bigger.
What I don't know is how I can get the entity that's closer to my origin. I mean, using vector_distance or get_distance_f are not a good diea in this case, because it has to go on the same line like if the traceline was actually an invisible entity touching the entity.
