I searched around but couldn't find a way to *easily* detect shield's touch (NOT shield pickup)

I want to hook touch between X entity and shielded user, and find out if that entity hit the player or the shield ._.

This is the code I'm currently testing (inside engine touch)

PHP Code:

if(cs_get_user_shield(ent)) //shielded player?
{
    new Float:ent_orig[3] //hitted player origin
    new Float:bullet_orig[3] //hitter entity origin
    pev(ent, pev_origin, ent_orig)
    pev(bullet, pev_origin, bullet_orig)

    //I found this code (just slightly modified) but doesn't seem to work for me >.<
    new trace = 0
    engfunc(EngFunc_TraceLine, bullet_orig, ent_orig, DONT_IGNORE_MONSTERS, 0, trace)
    new hitgroup = get_tr2(trace, TR_iHitgroup)

    client_print(owner, print_chat, "Bullet orig %.2f %.2f %.2f", bullet_orig[0], bullet_orig[1], bullet_orig[2])
    client_print(owner, print_chat, "Player orig %.2f %.2f %.2f", ent_orig[0], ent_orig[1], ent_orig[2])
    client_print(ent, print_chat, "Bullet orig %.2f %.2f %.2f", bullet_orig[0], bullet_orig[1], bullet_orig[2])
    client_print(ent, print_chat, "Player orig %.2f %.2f %.2f", ent_orig[0], ent_orig[1], ent_orig[2])

    if(hitgroup == 8)//HIT_SHIELD)
    {
        client_print(owner, print_chat, "Shield hit")
        client_print(ent, print_chat, "Shield hit")
    }
} 


I'm not sure if I need to use TR_pHit, since the touch is registered only between entity and player.
These are some hits I got

Bullet orig -458.64 817.47 32.23
Player orig -443.50 834.50 36.03

Bullet orig 682.42 -191.39 140.70
Player orig 699.45 -189.44 132.03

Bullet orig 682.42 -178.76 135.52
Player orig 699.45 -189.44 114.03

Bullet orig 682.42 -173.55 126.96
Player orig 699.45 -189.44 114.03

Bullet orig 1435.05 630.16 214.56
Player orig 1452.08 632.21 196.03

Bullet orig 2352.99 625.98 190.38
Player orig 2362.70 643.02 196.03

I couldn't get any hit on the shield >.<
Any help?

Ignore ent param should be probably "ent" instead of "0".

I just tested a few times with different values

PHP Code:

if(cs_get_user_shield(ent))
{
    new Float:ent_orig[3]
    new Float:bullet_orig[3]
    pev(ent, pev_origin, ent_orig)
    pev(bullet, pev_origin, bullet_orig)

    new hitgroup, trace = 0
    engfunc(EngFunc_TraceLine, bullet_orig, ent_orig, DONT_IGNORE_MONSTERS, 0, trace)
    hitgroup = get_tr2(trace, TR_iHitgroup)
    client_print(ent, print_chat, "Hitgroup (0): %d", hitgroup)

    trace = 0
    engfunc(EngFunc_TraceLine, bullet_orig, ent_orig, DONT_IGNORE_MONSTERS, ent, trace)
    hitgroup = get_tr2(trace, TR_iHitgroup)
    client_print(ent, print_chat, "Hitgroup (ent): %d", hitgroup)

    trace = 0
    engfunc(EngFunc_TraceLine, bullet_orig, ent_orig, DONT_IGNORE_MONSTERS, bullet, trace)
    hitgroup = get_tr2(trace, TR_iHitgroup)
    client_print(ent, print_chat, "Hitgroup (bullet): %d", hitgroup)

    if(hitgroup == 8)//HIT_SHIELD)
    {
        client_print(owner, print_chat, "Shield hit")
        client_print(ent, print_chat, "Shield hit")
    }
} 


If I ignore ent (player) I got no hits
This time I got 1 hit in the shield (I was covered all the time but only 1 hit was detected in the shield)

Hitgroup (0): 3
Hitgroup (ent): 0
Hitgroup (bullet): 3

Hitgroup (0): 5
Hitgroup (ent): 0
Hitgroup (bullet): 5

Hitgroup (0): 8
Hitgroup (ent): 0
Hitgroup (bullet): 8
Shield hit

Hitgroup (0): 0
Hitgroup (ent): 0
Hitgroup (bullet): 4

Hitgroup (0): 5
Hitgroup (ent): 0
Hitgroup (bullet): 5

Hitgroup (0): 4
Hitgroup (ent): 0
Hitgroup (bullet): 4

I can't figure out how to detect the shield *accurately* >.<

[Arkshine]

Are you sure you test properly? Meaning shield is well drawn when you do traceline?
Ignorent should be "ent", because trace line starts from player (inside), and you probably don't want to hit inside.

[NikKOo31]

I covered with shield and run directly to bots ._. it was well drawn

Isn't this trace from bullet to player?

PHP Code:

engfunc(EngFunc_TraceLine, bullet_orig, ent_orig, DONT_IGNORE_MONSTERS, 0, trace) 


From 2nd param, to 3rd param

I think the problem is that engine touch is too late to make a traceline, the entity goes through the shield too fast, that's why I'm not detecting it

If your bullet ent is moving too fast then yes, the ent can past through certain part of player before touch is call, especially if ent's solid is SOLID_TRIGGER(sometimes it can past through completely without touch called with this solid type).

Well, actually is SOLID_BBOX, but yes, it's shot @2k (vel_by_aim)

The only thing that comes to my mind is using traceline in entity think, but will be a pain in the as$ D:
Any other suggestion?
