(I've searched thoroughly and found none that provides the answer for this)

Well, SourceMod has GetVectorDistance which gets the distance of two different vectors but is it possible for two different z-axis points?

If so, how to achieve it?

[Neuro Toxin]

Just set x y for both vectors to 0 and check the distance.

Or just minus one z from the other and abs it.

[cravenge]

I will try your suggestions. Thanks!

[hmmmmm]

PHP Code:

float zDist = FloatAbs( vec1[2] - vec2[2] );

Okay, now that has been taken care of... How to be sure that no entity is blocking the two z-axis points? (i.e a wall)

I'm doing this for an STW [Shoot Through Walls] detector plugin.

Hmm... I think I'm doing something wrong with the trace ray. The plugin kicked me when I was just looking indirectly to my target, which is a bot behind a wall.

PHP Code:

bool IsVisionBlocked(float fPos[3], float fTargetPos[3])
{
    bool bObstacleFound;
    float fTrajectory[3], fAng[3];
    
    MakeVectorFromPoints(fPos, fTargetPos, fTrajectory);
    GetVectorAngles(fTrajectory, fAng);
    
    Handle hTrace = TR_TraceRayFilterEx(fPos, fAng, MASK_SHOT, RayType_Infinite, FilterEntity);
    if (TR_DidHit(hTrace))
    {
        float fTracePos[3];
        TR_GetEndPosition(fTracePos, hTrace);
        
        if ((GetVectorDistance(fPos, fTracePos, false) + 25.0) >= GetVectorDistance(fPos, fTargetPos))
        {
            bObstacleFound = false; /* client is getting a clear visual to a target. */
        }
    }
    else
    {
        bObstacleFound = true; /* Hmm, something has blocked the client's line of sight. */
    }
    
    delete hTrace;
    return bObstacleFound;
}

public bool FilterEntity(int entity, int contentsMask, any data)
{
    return (entity && IsValidEntity(entity));
} 


I tried switching the result of the bool but the plugin kicked me when my back was facing the target, who is still behind a wall.

I'm not sure if this is what you want but here you go https://github.com/Pelipoika/TF2_Nex...sp#L1365-L1392
