I use the following code for when a player is stuck in a wall:

PHP Code:

new Float:fOrigin[ 3 ], Float:fNormalVector[ 3 ], trHull;
    
    trHull = create_tr2( );
    pev( id, pev_origin, fOrigin );
    
    engfunc( EngFunc_TraceHull, fOrigin, fOrigin, DONT_IGNORE_MONSTERS, HULL_HUMAN, id, trHull );
    
    get_tr2( trHull, TR_vecPlaneNormal, fNormalVector )
    
    free_tr2( trHull ) 


returns fNormalVector[0] = 0.0, fNormalVector[1] = 0.0, fNormalVector[2] = 0.0
If doing so with a traceline, you actually get the normal vector corresponding to the plane the traceline hits.

How come this is not the case for tracehull, can it be shown from the HLSDK? Is there a way to retrieve the normal to the plane tracehull hits?

After checking the amxmodx sdk and the hlsdk I think trace hull is done by tracing a bunch of tracelines from the origin outwards, representing the size of the hull. I think without accessing these functions directly (maybe with orpheus or rage) retrieving the normals can't be done.
