Hi. I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, but I think you mean making it so players don't collide with each other? I've come across this problem myself, and never really resolved it in a satisfactory way. The most recent method was setting pev->groupinfo to 1 in prethink on players, and using UTIL_SetGroupTrace( pev->groupinfo, GROUP_OP_NAND ); straight after. Then in postthink, use UTIL_SetGroupTrace( pev->groupinfo, GROUP_OP_AND ); I can't remember off the top of my head why this works as it's been a long time, I just know that it probably should work. I'll leave it up to you to do the research on grouptrace, as I cannot for the life of me remember anything about it. Therefore, I cannot guarantee what side effects or issues this may cause.
One other thing you can do that I remember better, is perform a UTIL_EntitiesInBox check (with a FL_CLIENT filter) to find all clients colliding in the player's bounding box. Do this every frame. This should fire when players touch (but there is a small latency where they touch each other for a short while before it fires) and at that point you can set the player to be non-solid with pev->solid = SOLID_NOT. Don't forget to check that the player is not colliding with himself. UTIL_EntitiesInBox is better as it only search within the player's collision, whereas UTIL_FindEntityInSphere will be really rough and inaccurate. Don't forget to set the player back to solid if he is not colliding with another player. However, this method is less than ideal as a non-solid player cannot be attacked by monsters, and they cannot trigger triggers. I believe there are also some issues with prediction if a player is not as SOLID_SLIDEBOX too? Expect problems. There is also "ShouldCollide" but as far as I know, that does not apply to players. Hope this helps.

Like if you hit another player change the collision to something else that you can pass thru. if i do it into the spawn it stays forever. But i dont have a clue on how to check the collision to the other player. Am i using the UTIL_FindEntityInSphere function to check for radius and if something is in range entity->solid? Or is there another easier way to do it?
