How to make traces ignore user objects?

Create "info_target" object, i ask him:

PHP Code:

set_pev(ent, pev_flags, FL_MONSTER) 


Further I do a trace:

PHP Code:

engfunc(EngFunc_TraceLine, start, end, IGNORE_MONSTERS, ent, 0) 


She ignores me, and the same objects - no.

Change entity solid to SOLID_NOT and restore it after trace.

Я проверял, ставил 2х ботов, от одного к другому трейс пускал, вставал между ними - и трасса проходила до конца(игнорируя меня).
Искал в SDK, что бы такого объекту установить, чтобы его тоже игнорировало - ничего.
Костыль я придумал уже, это просто продолжать трассу после объекта, но интересно же без него.


I checked, put 2 bots, from one to the other, trace let go, got up between them - and the route passed to the end (ignoring me).
I was looking for the SDK to install such an object so that it would also be ignored - nothing.
I thought up a crutch already, it's just to continue the track after the object, but it's interesting without it.

You know its better to remove the entity flag FL_MONSTER and reset it again after doing the trace

First of all FL_MONSTER doesn't work here, because ignoremonsters flag checks for MOVETYPE_PUSHSTEP. But this flag works only on non-SOLID_BSP entities, so this way isn't universal. Secondly there is no difference between changing FL_MONSTER flag, movetype or solid because you need to restore it, so anyway you need to store the old value.

You are maybe right there is no difference,
But still i am not sure if it doesnt work, so i might give it several tests and see...

PHP Code:

set_pev(ent, pev_movetype, MOVETYPE_PUSHSTEP)
set_pev(ent, pev_solid, SOLID_BBOX) 


Так у меня оно так и есть.
Но трасса прерывается упершись в этот объект.

So at me it indeed is.
But the route is interrupted by leaning against this object.

@artist you should change it to SOLID_NOT before trace and restore after trace.

Да это на форуме вопрос задали, чтобы несколько объектов бежали за игроком(заинтересовал игнор в трейсе, никогда им не пользовался)...
Тогда и мой вариант сойдет...
Спасибо за уделённое время. ))

Yes it is on the forum question asked that several objects were running behind the player (interested ignore in the trace, never used it)...
Then my version will come down...
Thank you for your time. ))

PHP Code:

stock bool:is_visible_ignore_players(index, entity)
{
    static Float:start[3]; pev(index, pev_origin, start)
    static Float:end[3]; pev(entity, pev_origin, end)
    
    engfunc(EngFunc_TraceLine, start, end, DONT_IGNORE_MONSTERS, index, 0)

    static pHit; pHit = get_tr2(0, TR_pHit)
    
    if(!is_valid_ent(pHit)) return false
    
    static bool:ret; ret = false
    
    if(pHit == entity) return true
    else if(is_user_alive(pHit)) ret = is_visible_ignore_players(pHit, entity)
    return ret
}
