Re: [hlcoders] Creating a Sphere Trace

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I just noticed that HL1 has a TraceSphere function available. Did this function become flawed once the Physics system was entered in the the scene equation? Just wondering why it was removed from HL2. On Sep 29, 2007 4:50 PM, Daniel Menard

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Not having a method of tracing a VCollide to the world really limits what we can do with prediction, especially when talking about vehicles. Since VPhysics is essentially unpredictable in the networking sense, we can't run the collision code

Re: [hlcoders] Creating a Sphere Trace

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Does physenv-CreateSphereObject do what you want? Check out CPhysSphere, which creates a sphere instead of using the models physics data. I'm assuming that, internally, creating a physics sphere this way will use fast sphere/plane intersection
