Hello.

I was wondering if anyone knew, if it was possible to find the boxes not included in the map (not FL_WORLDBRUSH) in dust_2 by using traceline or at another method? Example the box at the bomb side a. I'm interrested in a method to validate if a point (x,y,z) is inside the box.

I've tried to traceline small steps, but it doesn't seem like traceline TR_pHit can find the box. It finds other entities like players, but no boxes

Thanks.

Boxes ? What boxes exactly ?

Example:



I would like to avoid find_entity_sphere as it would be too slow for my purpose

It's an entity ( func_breakable ) If I'm right, so you should be able to detect it with a traceline. Show your code.

This is what i try so far. It renders players when hit, but not the box. It's verified that the line passes through the box graphically.

engfunc(EngFunc_TraceLine,lastorigin,entOrigin,0,testEnt,0)
pHit = get_tr2 ( 0, TR_pHit )
	
if (pHit > 0)
{
		server_print("phit ent %i",pHit)
                set_rendering(pHit,kRenderFxGlowShell,0,255,255,255)

}

What's lastorigin and entOrigin, and testEnt exactly.

[N1ghtmr1]

It's from an entity, entTest, walking a distance between two points. Lastorigin is the origin before move, and entOrigin is the origin after move.

[Arkshine]

Well the problem for sure is lastorigin or entOrigin or both. You should try to use TE_BEAMPOINT to see the current line created between this 2 points, because if the line passes through such entity, pHit will return the entity index. Since you don't show much code I can't really help you but you have something wrong on your code.

[N1ghtmr1]

Sorry for not showing much code, it's rather complex. Anyways i'll try to setup a scenario which a traceline between two static points going through the box and see the result.

[Arkshine]

No problem. It will work, you will see. :p
