The regular trace will exclude a player as a target if the trace doesn't
collide with the bounding box.
It is possible to do an additional check on eligible players and force a
trace against their hitboxes with enginetrace->ClipRayToEntity. That's
per target player, so you can do extra work to make the list of
potential players you're tracing against as small as possible.
In pseudocode:
For all players
{
if this player is likely to be hit by the ray
( this check can do a DistanceToRay from the traceline and
exclude if needed )
{
do the enginetrace->ClipRayToEntity
now check if we hit the player and the hit was the
closest thing that we hit
}
}

Subject: Re: [hlcoders] TraceRay not hitting player's head
I realize this is an old topic, but I have this same problem and can't
find a solution.
http://www.sourcemod.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3658
As you can see, the "bounding box" doesn't actually surround the whole
model, so there lies the problem.. There's got to be a way to fix this
since the traces done when someone fires at someone's head don't just go
through the player's head. I just have no clue how to accomplish this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
