The physics shadows are basically a physics object that follows an entity that doesn't move with vphysics, ie: an npc, or the player, and provides collision with physics objects, and has callbacks to notify the entity it's following that it just collided with something else that is vphysics (or another shadow)

Can someone explain this one to me? In VPhysicsShadowUpdate() I just took all the traces ie util_traceline, util_traceentity, etc and changed the MASK_PLAYERSOLID to use PhysicsSolidMaskForEntity() except I used some ifdefs so I remember that the code was modified by our mod when it comes time to merge new code that affected this file for instance. Chris What is PhysicsShadow? For some reason I imagine shadows doing physical collision tests and that sort of stuff, which makes no sense. Can someone put this into some context please?
