Best way to tell if a certain entity is above head

ALKINDA · **Author**

hey,

wondering how to do this.
im thinking my best way is to somehow set a trace stemming straight from the players skull 1m high, and stay straight with the players movements. when it intersects a certain entity it should know.

thanks.

a traceray on game frame?

Perhaps a more optimized way is to create a trigger_multiple above each player's head, parent it to them and hook StartTouch or StartTouchPost.

The only entity which doesn't get detected by trigger_multiple I know of is tf_projectile_pipe_remote, which are TF2 stickies.

Do you the entity index above the players head?
