I recently read a tutorial regarding tracelines and i understood how to use the trace line function provided by the engine module:

trace_line(iIgnoreEnt, const Float:fStart[3], const Float:fEnd[3], Float:vReturn[3]);

If a point interfere's in the trace line than the points origin is stored in the vReturn[3] variable

But when i use the traceline function from fakemeta:

engfunc(EngFunc_TraceLine, V1, V2, fNoMonsters, ENT_TO_SKIP);

i find that there is no such option like this : vReturn[3]

Basically if i use the traceline function using fakemeta then if a point interferes during the traceline than its origin are not returned bcoz fake meta deosnt supports it so how can i make it possible that when a traceline has been done using fake meta and a point interferes than the points origin should be returned by the trace line function

It is because you forgot the trace handle (where the data is saved)

PHP Code:

engfunc(EngFunc_TraceLine, V1, V2, fNoMonsters, ENT_TO_SKIP, 0);
get_tr2(0, TR_vecEndPos, vReturn) 


Look in the tutorials section for my function examples and nomexous tutorial about TRACELINE.

Thnx one question
I need to create a handle and use it on both like this:

engfunc(EngFunc_TraceLine, V1, V2, fNoMonsters, ENT_TO_SKIP, my_handle);
get_tr2(my_handle, TR_vecEndPos, vReturn)

PHP Code:

// create it before the trace
my_handle = create_tr2();
// Free it after not needing it (necessary)
free_tr2(my_handle); 


I already told you about the tuts. Search for them, you will find all you need there.
