I have an entity with a box model, the objetive is everybody have a certain time to get on the entity or they will die.

I have something like this to check if the player is over the entity:

PHP Code:

new Float: iOrigin[ 3 ]
entity_get_vector( id, EV_VEC_origin, iOrigin )

if( iOrigin[ 2 ] >= 140.0 )
{
         client_print( id, print_chat, "You're over the entity" )
} 


When the player is over the box, his Z origin is > 140.0.

Now the problem is if i just jump away from de box, my Z origin still being > 140.0.

I want to know how i can check if the player is touching the entity without have to use register_touch or any fuction which is called a many often, because i try with this:

PHP Code:

 register_touch( My_Entity, "player", "function" )

public function( ent, id )
{
           if( !pev_valid( id ) )
                   return;

           g_Touching[ id ] = true
} 


And i know that is bad as hell because register_touch it's called a lot of time per second

[.Dare Devil.]

try it

PHP Code:

// if you dont like the fakemeta, replace it with engine...
// returns 1 if ent2 is above ent1 
stock is_touching( ent1, ent2 )
{
    static Float:mins1[3], Float:mins2[3], Float:mins[3]
    static Float:maxs1[3], Float:maxs2[3], Float:maxs[3]    
    static Float:o1[3], Float:o2[3]
    static a, Float:d[3]
    pev( ent1, pev_mins, mins1 )
    pev( ent2, pev_mins, mins2 )
    pev( ent1, pev_maxs, maxs1 )
    pev( ent2, pev_maxs, maxs2 )
    pev( ent1, pev_origin, o1 )
    pev( ent2, pev_origin, o2 )
    for( a = 0; a < 3; a++ )
    {
        d[a] = o1[a] - o2[a]
        mins[a] = mins1[a] + mins2[a]
        maxs[a] = maxs1[a] + maxs2[a]
        if( (d[a] < 0.0 && mins[a] < d[a]) || ( d[a] > 0.0 || maxs[a] > d[a] ) ) return 0
    }
    return 1
} 


edit ( since misunderstood the op )

PHP Code:

// if you dont like the fakemeta, replace it with engine...
// returns 1 if is touching ( also returns 1 when entity is inside of another entity )
// ( in your case ent2 will be id or player  )
stock is_touching_from_above( ent1, ent2 )
{
    static Float:mins1[3], Float:mins2[3], Float:mins[3]
    static Float:maxs1[3], Float:maxs2[3], Float:maxs[3]    
    static Float:o1[3], Float:o2[3]
    static a, Float:d[3]
    pev( ent1, pev_mins, mins1 )
    pev( ent2, pev_mins, mins2 )
    pev( ent1, pev_maxs, maxs1 )
    pev( ent2, pev_maxs, maxs2 )
    pev( ent1, pev_origin, o1 )
    pev( ent2, pev_origin, o2 )
    mins1[2] = maxs1[2]
    maxs1[2] += 1.0
    for( a = 0; a < 3; a++ )
    {
        d[a] = o1[a] - o2[a]
        mins[a] = mins1[a] + mins2[a]
        maxs[a] = maxs1[a] + maxs2[a]
        if( (d[a] < 0.0 && mins[a] < d[a]) || ( d[a] > 0.0 || maxs[a] > d[a] ) ) return 0
    }
    return 1
}

PHP Code:

pev(id, pev_groundentity); 


on player think maybe? pev_groundentity tells on which entity are you standing on right now.
