Tripmines use FTRACE_SIMPLEBOX. See Jay Stelly's comments... http://www.topica.com/lists/hlcoders/read/message.html?mid=800061555 http://www.topica.com/lists/hlcoders/read/message.html?mid=800041838 I don't think pfnTraceToss() and pfnTraceSphere() are good for anything! :) (Actually they probably are. Perhaps TraceToss checks a trace of an entity with the effects of gravity? TraceSphere doesn't seem like it would work properly with the way the Half-Life/Quake I engine implements tracing using hulls, but what do I know?).
