I don't know why this doesn't works:

PHP Code:

    new iEnt = create_entity("info_target")
    
    entity_set_string(iEnt, EV_SZ_classname, "func_oil_barrel")
    
    entity_set_origin(iEnt, vecEnd)
    entity_set_model(iEnt, BARREL_MODEL)
    
    entity_set_int(iEnt, EV_INT_solid, SOLID_BBOX)
    entity_set_int(iEnt, EV_INT_movetype, MOVETYPE_TOSS)
    
    entity_set_float(iEnt, EV_FL_takedamage, DAMAGE_YES)
    entity_set_float(iEnt, EV_FL_health, 100.0)
    
    entity_set_edict(iEnt, EV_ENT_euser3, iId)
    
    entity_set_size(iEnt, BARREL_MINS, BARREL_MAXS)
    
    set_task(0.1, "task_SendBeam", iEnt) 


"task_SendBeam" function:

PHP Code:

public task_SendBeam(iEnt) // Code for testing purpose.
{
    if(!is_valid_ent(iEnt))
        return;
    
    new Float:vecOrigin[3], Float:vecMins[3], Float:vecMaxs[3];
    
    entity_get_vector(iEnt, EV_VEC_mins, vecMins);
    entity_get_vector(iEnt, EV_VEC_maxs, vecMaxs);
    entity_get_vector(iEnt, EV_VEC_origin, vecOrigin);
    
    vecMins[0] += vecOrigin[0];
    vecMins[1] += vecOrigin[1];
    vecMins[2] += vecOrigin[2];
    vecMaxs[0] += vecOrigin[0];
    vecMaxs[1] += vecOrigin[1];
    vecMaxs[2] += vecOrigin[2];
    
    DrawLine(vecMaxs[0], vecMaxs[1], vecMaxs[2], vecMins[0], vecMaxs[1], vecMaxs[2])
    DrawLine(vecMaxs[0], vecMaxs[1], vecMaxs[2], vecMaxs[0], vecMins[1], vecMaxs[2])
    DrawLine(vecMaxs[0], vecMaxs[1], vecMaxs[2], vecMaxs[0], vecMaxs[1], vecMins[2])
    DrawLine(vecMins[0], vecMins[1], vecMins[2], vecMaxs[0], vecMins[1], vecMins[2])
    DrawLine(vecMins[0], vecMins[1], vecMins[2], vecMins[0], vecMaxs[1], vecMins[2])
    DrawLine(vecMins[0], vecMins[1], vecMins[2], vecMins[0], vecMins[1], vecMaxs[2])
    DrawLine(vecMins[0], vecMaxs[1], vecMaxs[2], vecMins[0], vecMaxs[1], vecMins[2])
    DrawLine(vecMins[0], vecMaxs[1], vecMins[2], vecMaxs[0], vecMaxs[1], vecMins[2])
    DrawLine(vecMaxs[0], vecMaxs[1], vecMins[2], vecMaxs[0], vecMins[1], vecMins[2])
    DrawLine(vecMaxs[0], vecMins[1], vecMins[2], vecMaxs[0], vecMins[1], vecMaxs[2])
    DrawLine(vecMaxs[0], vecMins[1], vecMaxs[2], vecMins[0], vecMins[1], vecMaxs[2])
    DrawLine(vecMins[0], vecMins[1], vecMaxs[2], vecMins[0], vecMaxs[1], vecMaxs[2])
    
    set_task(0.1, "task_SendBeam", iEnt)
} 


The size works fine, but there's something that I don't know why doesn't works correctly.

See this picture: LINK

The size is perfect for the model as you can see.

You can see in the code that I activated the damage for the entity. Supposedly it must show some sparks on the endposition of the bullet.

PHP Code:

public fw_Barrel_TraceAttack(iVictim, iAttacker, Float:flDamage, Float:vecDirection[3], iTr, iDamageType)
{
    new szClassname[33]
    entity_get_string(iVictim, EV_SZ_classname, szClassname, charsmax(szClassname))
    
    if(!equal(szClassname, "func_oil_barrel"))
        return HAM_IGNORED
        
    new Float:vecEndPos[3]
    get_tr2(iTr, TR_vecEndPos, vecEndPos)
    
    engfunc(EngFunc_MessageBegin, MSG_PVS, SVC_TEMPENTITY, vecEndPos, 0)
    write_byte(TE_SPARKS) // TE iId
    engfunc(EngFunc_WriteCoord, vecEndPos[0]) // x
    engfunc(EngFunc_WriteCoord, vecEndPos[1]) // y
    engfunc(EngFunc_WriteCoord, vecEndPos[2]) // z
    message_end()
    
    return HAM_HANDLED
} 


Now see this picture: LINK

It doesn't.

See how my (custom) flashlight ignores the entity: LINK - LINK (It obviously uses traceline's method)

Only when I aim at the center of the entity (and when I fire too) it doesn't ignore it: LINK

Anyone knows why appears this problem?

It would be interesting to solve the flashlight thingy, I have almost the same situation with one of my custom entities...

[Drak]

The custom flashlight. How are you doing it? Because it's a model entity. It will have issues receiving light. Unlike brush based entity's.

try to make it SOLID_BSP,I'm not sure

Traceline method, same thing happens with bullets.

I perfectly sure that the engine will crash with an error if I put SOLID_BSP on his solid ev.

OMG I solved it. The problem was model's hitboxes, they were a little box instead of his real size.
