That didn't help one bit... I don't think you know exactly what I'm tryin to do. I wanna get the location on the surface of the water where the trace entered it. Tom is sorta on the right track, but it seems wrather difficult to do. There isn't an easier way to do it?

When you shoot out a trace line you specify how far its going, ie 1000 units. The end point of a traceline is stored in the trace result's 'flFraction' variable, ie: tr.flFraction The distance from the player to the surface is found by doing the following: TraceLength * flFraction; An flFraction value of .5 means the end point was 50% of the length of the traceline. Be sure to check that it did hit something though, ie: if (tr.pHit) // it did hit something.
