How can I check that entity is in other entity?
I'm trying to make a plugin that blocks moving block on the barriere (base builder mod). I tried some things and i realized that I can't use touch. I tried with hamsandwitch and origins but it went mess. I save the door (zone) coordinates of the specified map in ini file.

Can someone make the plugin or tell me how to use tracehull. How it works and in which case i can use it?

Thanks..

If the base has a roof (as it should), you can do:

PHP Code:

static Float:fpOrigin[3]
entity_get_vector(iEnt, EV_VEC_origin, fpOrigin)

while (point_contents(fpOrigin) == CONTENTS_EMPTY)
    fpOrigin[2] += 5.0

// Check for sky and everything else you think you should check for

can it help to get distance to over head entity[roof] ?

[Spunky]

Yes.

PHP Code:

static Float:fpOrigin[3]
entity_get_vector(iEnt, EV_VEC_origin, fpOrigin)

static Float:fpSkyOrigin[3]
fpSkyOrigin[0] = fpOrigin[0]
fpSkyOrigin[1] = fpOrigin[1]
fpSkyOrigin[2] = fpOrigin[2]

new Float:fpDistance

while (point_contents(fpSkyOrigin) == CONTENTS_EMPTY)
    fpSkyOrigin[2] += 5.0

fpDistance = vector_distance(fpOrigin, fpSkyOrigin) 


Remove the check to see if it's sky, sorry.

What is point_contents? Where is that function from and what it does?

[AngeIII]

thanks Spunky you realy help me ;)

FEELiFE -> this function check what "content" at a origins what you writen in.

engine:

PHP Code:

point_contents(origins) 


fakemeta:

PHP Code:

#define fm_point_contents(%1) engfunc(EngFunc_PointContents, %1) 


return this values:

PHP Code:

hlsdk_const.inc
// engfunc(EngFunc_PointContents, Float:origin) return values
#define    CONTENTS_EMPTY                  -1
#define    CONTENTS_SOLID                  -2
#define    CONTENTS_WATER                  -3
#define    CONTENTS_SLIME                  -4
#define    CONTENTS_LAVA                   -5
#define    CONTENTS_SKY                    -6
#define    CONTENTS_ORIGIN                 -7          // Removed at csg time
#define    CONTENTS_CLIP                   -8          // Changed to contents_solid
#define    CONTENTS_CURRENT_0              -9
#define    CONTENTS_CURRENT_90             -10
#define    CONTENTS_CURRENT_180            -11
#define    CONTENTS_CURRENT_270            -12
#define    CONTENTS_CURRENT_UP             -13
#define    CONTENTS_CURRENT_DOWN           -14
#define CONTENTS_TRANSLUCENT            -15
#define    CONTENTS_LADDER                 -16
#define    CONTENT_FLYFIELD                -17
#define    CONTENT_GRAVITY_FLYFIELD        -18
#define    CONTENT_FOG                     -19

It won't work either.
Is there any other method that doesn't use origins?

Ideas?
