Goal:
Create an ent that takes damage. When you shoot the ent, the bullet stops. So, you cannot shoot through the ent and hit players or other ents behind it.


Right now I'm making an ent and hooking Ham_TraceAttack on info_target, but messing with the trace result doesn't do anything.

Help plz. I'm probably overlooking a nice pretty way to do this. I'm not using pev_takedamage, maybe I should do that?


EDIT: I found joaquimandrade's method here: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=94742

I don't like it because you need to hook so many hams just to stop a bullet. Share your ideas.

I actually figured out how to solve this, so I'll describe my solution. If you want real code, I can do that upon request.

In the traceattack function, do an additional trace from the start to the TR_vecEndPos and check if you hit something other than the victim. If you do, then check if it's the ent that should be bulletproof. If it is, then supercede this call.
