botman: that is the route that i've taken with my
code. I'm having some issues with the tracers on a
listen server for some reason and i have yet not
located the problem. I'm assuming that at some point a
future SDK release would have the tracers implemented
already. I was looking to compare my "fix" with
Valve's proper implementation or somebody else's
implementation. In the mean time, i'll keep plugging
away at it. Thanks again for your input.
r00t 3:16 : your solution fires an extra bullet. try
running a 'sv_showimpacts 1' and you'll see what I
mean.
