Thanks for your replies Tom. Unfortunately the easy solution won't
work for me, because I'm trying to do this with a custom brush entity
so I can't just set it to func_detail.
Oh well, guess I'll have to just accept that the back faces will be missing. :/

Easy solution: $nocull will work with brush entities, which according to
the wiki includes func_detail.

When a brush is compiled it's replaced by individual polygons, and of
course VBSP doesn't bother generating ones which are theoretically never
seen. Backface culling won't do a thing here: you need to either create
new polys, or flip the existing ones.

I preferred to make the weapon the owner of the rocket, then call
GetOwnerEntity()->GetOwnerEntity() when I wanted the player. ;-) A bool
is a nice, broad solution though.

That works in Hammer, but in game the engine still culls the interior
faces. There's got to be a way to do it in code...
