Well, if you only want to find players in the 600-unit radius, I would not use
UTIL_FindEntityInSphere, since that finds all entities (not just players). I
was thinking something like this:
TraceResult tr;
Vector vecSpot;
CBaseEntity *pEntity;
// Loop through all player slots
for (int i = 1; i <= gpGlobals->maxClients; i++)
{
pEntity = UTIL_PlayerByIndex(i);
// Check if there is actually a player connected to this slot
if (pEntity)
{
// Do a traceline to them
UTIL_TraceLine(pev->origin, pEntity->pev->origin +
pEntity->pev->view_ofs, dont_ignore_monsters, edict(), &tr);
// Did the traceline hit them?
if ((tr.flFraction == 1.0) || (ENTINDEX(tr.pHit) ==
pEntity->entindex()))
{
// Do whatever you need to do, screenfades, whatever
}
}
}
