I'm working on this plugin to search for bots in objective areas so I can run commands on them (get them to stop moving until the point has been captured).
I've made alot of progress so far, but now I need help!
Here's the code I've got plus the info that is spit out in console below the code:

I'm trying to figure out what the correct trace flag is to find the entity Im looking for: ins_objective
The only entitys the TraceRay has found are "Worldspawn" and "player"

-OR-

Find a way, using the info I already have to figure out if one of the bots is close enough to an ins_objective (like using the bot's origin vs the entity origins).

IIRC you cant trace for non-solid objects with SourceMod (or something to that effect).

Besides, tracing isnt the best way to do what youre trying to do. My guess is that ins_objective is a brush entity, that has mins and maxs (m_vecMins and m_vecMaxs respectively) that define the box shaped area. Heres a sample code (untested, but should give you a nudge to the right direction):

PHP Code:

GetClientInsideObjectiveArea(client) {
    decl Float:mins[3], Float:maxs[3], Float:orig[3], Float:playerOrigin[3];
    new ent = -1;

    GetClientAbsOrigin(client,playerOrigin);

    while((ent = FindEntityByClassname(ent,"ins_objective")) != -1) {
        GetEntPropVector(ent,Prop_Data,"m_vecOrigin",orig);
        GetEntPropVector(ent,Prop_Data,"m_vecMins",mins);
        GetEntPropVector(ent,Prop_Data,"m_vecMaxs",maxs);

        mins[0] += orig[0], maxs[0] += orig[0];
        mins[1] += orig[1], maxs[1] += orig[1];
        mins[2] += orig[2], maxs[2] += orig[2];

        if(mins[0] < playerOrigin[0] < maxs[0] &&
            mins[1] < playerOrigin[1] < maxs[1] &&
            mins[2] < playerOrigin[2] < maxs[2]) {
            return ent;
        }
    }

    return -1;
}

Hey, thanks a ton for your reply!
I was using a similar example before and seeing it done another way really helped me to understand it better!
Just an update, I got the bots to stop when in an objective area!
Shouldn't be too hard to get em moving again... ;)
I used the following code instead:

BotSearch()
{
 //Declare:
 decl MaxPlayers;
 //Initialize:
 MaxPlayers = GetMaxClients();
 //Loop:
 for(new client = 1; client <= MaxPlayers; client++)
 {
  if(IsClientInGame(client) && IsPlayerAlive(client) && IsFakeClient(client))
  {
   new ent2=-1;
   while ((ent2 = FindEntityByClassname(ent2,"ins_objective")) != -1)
   {
    new Float:vec[3];
    GetClientAbsOrigin(client, Float:vec);
    decl Float:mins2[3], Float:maxs2[3];
    //decl Float:Ent2Position[3];
    //GetEntPropVector(ent2,Prop_Send,"m_vecOrigin",Ent2Position);
    GetEntPropVector(ent2,Prop_Send,"m_vecMins",mins2);
    GetEntPropVector(ent2,Prop_Send,"m_vecMaxs",maxs2);
    mins2[0] -= 20, maxs2[0] += 20;
    mins2[1] -= 20, maxs2[1] += 20;
    mins2[2] -= 20, maxs2[2] += 20;
    if (mins2[0] < vec[0] < maxs2[0] && mins2[1] < vec[1] < maxs2[1] && mins2[2] < vec[2] < maxs2[2])
    {
     SetEntityMoveType(client, MOVETYPE_NONE);
     LogToGame("BOC SUCCESS: Bot found (index= %i @ %f %f %f) inside an objective area! (Entity index= %i)", client, vec[0], vec[1], vec[2], ent2);

m_vecOrigin is commented out because it kept returning 0 0 0... but I guess I didn't really need that anyways!
Thanks again!
