trace

line

_{Traces a line and returns the trace data}

trace_result_t line(<vec3_t> start, <vec3_t> end, [optional] <entity_t> ignore_entity, [optional] <int> trace_mask = MASK_SOLID)

Fields	Description
start vec3_t	trace start
end vec3_t	trace end
ignore_entity entity_t	[optional] entity to skip
trace_mask int	[optional] trace mask or MASK_SOLID

Example

local trace_result = trace.line(from, to, local_player)
if(trace_result.entity ~= nil) then
    print("hit:",trace_result.entity:get_name())
end

hull

_{Performs a hull trace and returns the trace data}

trace_result_t hull(<vec3_t> start, <vec3_t> end, <vec3_t> hull_mins, <vec3_t> hull_maxs, [optional] <entity_t> ignore_entity, [optional] <int> trace_mask = MASK_SOLID)

Fields	Description
start vec3_t	trace start
end vec3_t	trace end
hull_mins vec3_t	trace hull minimum
hull_maxs vec3_t	trace hull maximum
ignore_entity entity_t	[optional] entity to skip
trace_mask int	[optional] trace mask or MASK_SOLID

Example

local trace_result = trace.hull(from, to, box_mins, box_maxs, local_player)
if(trace_result.entity ~= nil) then
    print("hit:",trace_result.entity:get_name())
end

bullet

_{Performs a bullet trace (autowall) and returns the bullet data}

bullet_data_t bullet(<vec3_t> start, <vec3_t> end, [optional] <entity_t> attacker = local_player, [optional] <entity_t> target)

Fields	Description
start vec3_t	trace start
end vec3_t	trace end
attacker entity_t	[optional] trace from entity, local_player by default
target entity_t	[optional] trace to entity

Example

local trace_result = trace.bullet(from, to, local_player, enemy)
if(trace_result.valid and trace_result.damage > 0) then
    print("player can be damaged")
end
