are you sure that it works? i recognized that my fwd name says its pre although i registered a post hook, unfortunately the trace_hull and the following trace_lines (if trace_hull.pHit == 0) did not happen in pre, in post i get distances of 200+ if i use glb_trace_endpos

Arg. Actually I'm wrong. I mean I have read too fastly your code.

Using TR_vecEndPos from TraceAttack is perfectly fine and it's the last trace. So glb_trace_endpos is stupid.

Now, what I don't understand, why are you recalculated when there is not hitgroup defined ?

hi there, is possible to make this plug running with "throwing knife" (http://forums.alliedmods.net/showpost.php?p=824022&postcount=185 )

ty !!

its possible to have chat color in function of distance too ^^

cuz then the traceline failed and the hook seems to be called after the very first traceline the engine does (=result sometimes wrong). xPaw and me figured that out while testing.
thats also, what makes this interesting for me and why i tried to create this plugin and even released it (never released a plugin here so far, most plugin i found usefull were posted at xtreme-jumps.eu)

i may try to fix my plugin so both can run together but im not sure
the color message will be added for attacks which have a distance of range-2 (stab = 30, slash = 46) to avoid spamming the chat. else youll see some deathmsg or sth, ill see ^^

Awesome

How far will scripting go?

Well good job in comprehend and reconstruct the hit-trace.
But i still for the life of me can't understand why you just don't TAKE the values the engine already calculated.
This is what i do:
On attack the engine conducts a hit-trace, resulting in values. I simply TAKE these values and display.
This is what you do:
On PreAttack you emulate the whole hit-trace and after returning from prehook, the engine conducts its own hit-trace AGAIN. What a redundancy, don't you think?

deapseablue's KD plugin is better and more precise ;)

1 suggestion: show the distance in meters next to the units

ofc i dont like that way either but i tried a lot way which would have been a lot better but they have always the same bug, sometimes i hit a ent but the distance == attack range

just look at this

This way you are catching a trace that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the real hit-trace.

distance == attack range

This would be the failed TraceLine Call you are getting, when in reality already TraceHull is used.

All you need is FakeMeta (hook TraceLine and TraceHull) and filter out all non related traces. It's pretty easy actually. You can look at every single trace and just have to think about all criterias that the trace has to match to filter the right ones out.
