Hi all. I have been having difficulty with TraceFilters/Tracelines, I can
never get them to actually HIT props, the tracelines always go through them.
------------------ code ----------------------------
class CTraceFilterVis : public CTraceFilter
{
public:
CTraceFilterVis(edict_t *pPlayer, edict_t *pHit = NULL ) // store these
as I don't want to hit these entities
{
m_pPlayer = pPlayer;
m_pHit = pHit;
}
virtual bool ShouldHitEntity( IHandleEntity *pServerEntity, int
contentsMask )
{
// just check if the entities I don't want to hit returns false
if ( pServerEntity == (IHandleEntity*)m_pPlayer->GetIServerEntity()
)
return false;
if ( m_pHit && (pServerEntity ==
(IHandleEntity*)m_pHit->GetIServerEntity()) )
return false;
// all others should return true ... but PROPS seem to ignore this?
return true;
}
virtual TraceType_t GetTraceType() const
{
return TRACE_EVERYTHING;
}
private:
edict_t *m_pPlayer;
edict_t *m_pHit;
};
-------------------- /code ---------------------
All I want this filter to do is start a traceline from one entity to the
other, while ignoring ONLY those entities so that the trace fraction will be
1.0 if it they visible from each other.
Trouble is , a lot of props get in the way and the tracelines always go
through them, even though it should "return true" if it should hit.
I have also tried TRACE_EVERYTHING_FILTER_PROPS and it just makes it worse I
believe.
Any hints? Or is a traceline the wrong way to go about doing it?
Cheers & thanks in advance!
