Use a UTIL_TraceLine() to trace a line from the player's origin to the brush model origin (VecBModelOrigin). If the trace completes (tr.flFraction == 1.0) then the player is on the same side of the wall as the brush model. If the trace doesn't complete, return from the USE function (of the brush model entity) before USEing the entity.
