Is there any way to check beam's touch?

Not sure if it is a bug or not, but in yokomo's New Tripmine plugin, if the beam intersects with a door(open or not, doesn't matter), it doesn't trigger anymore.

It's not related to this include, problem in yokomo's New Tripmine plugin for sure.

How sure are you? Because it's the beam that isn't tripping the explosion. Something like it doesn't register the touch between the player and itself.

I'm trying to use this stock to create a beam and register_touch with player.
It works fine if the beam is created parallel to two axis (i.e. X and Y, X and Z or Y and Z).
However if the beam is only parallel to one or no axis, touch is trigger anywhere within a box between the start and end points and not only along the beam (see image).
P.S. The beam is drawn correctly for all cases.

I've narrowed down to mins maxs and set_size being what causes this, which are called in Beam_RelinkBeam.
I'm guessing Half-Life (Counter-Strike) only creates block entities aligned with the X Y Z axis.
If so I'm not sure if there is a way to fix this, does anyone have any idea?


Edit: Can be fixed by checking with tracelines inside touch function whether the player is intercepting where the beam should be.
However touch hooks are called every frame if player continuously touches beam, not sure how much it would slow the server down.
Still interested in an easier fix if anyone knows how.

This might be a helpful alternative:
PHP Code:
 stock get_distance_to_line(Float:pos_start[3], Float:pos_end[3], Float:pos_object[3])  
 {  
//credits to KoST
    
new Float:vec_start_end[3], Float:vec_start_object[3], Float:vec_end_object[3], Float:vec_end_start[3]
    
xs_vec_sub(pos_endpos_startvec_start_end)         // vector from start to end 
    
xs_vec_sub(pos_objectpos_startvec_start_object)     // vector from end to object 
    
xs_vec_sub(pos_startpos_endvec_end_start)         // vector from end to start 
    
xs_vec_sub(pos_endpos_objectvec_end_object)         // vector object to end 

    
new Float:len_start_object getVecLen(vec_start_object
    new 
Float:angle_start floatacos(xs_vec_dot(vec_start_endvec_start_object) / (getVecLen(vec_start_end) * len_start_object), degrees)  
    new 
Float:angle_end floatacos(xs_vec_dot(vec_end_startvec_end_object) / (getVecLen(vec_end_start) * getVecLen(vec_end_object)), degrees)  

    if(
angle_start <= 90.0 && angle_end <= 90.0
        return 
floatround(len_start_object floatsin(angle_startdegrees)) 
    return -

Instead of using touch, use a loop to check if players are within distance.

This is a great alternative, especially when only using one beam.
However you need to be careful if using this with multiple beams, i.e. if you have 10 beams and 10 players, you'd have to call this stock 100 times.

Could someone give a example of how to create a beam with this include?
