In fact, you can't set up the tracelines correctly. When you trace lines from the corner of the vehicle "box", you might miss some brushes like lamp posts which are rather thin. You could of course use an infinite number of tracelines, or you could trace several hulls, so as to cover the entire front surface of the vehicle box. Of course you still have to look out because, as said before, the hull is always axis aligned. You could still read out the BSP data and perform proper collisions yourself though ;) cu, Prefect _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
