-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] OBB is Oriented Bounding Box. That really wouldn't do much, the magic is how the tracing is done. Reason I'd want it would be to recreate my own physics objects so I can control them as I want. However that's just the tip of the iceberg. It'd be better to have low level access to plane data so we could build our own traces instead of using the ones interfaced to us. Unless this is already possible that I have yet to see.
I'm definately not stopping development on the Source Engine, but there are lots of limitations to what we have access to, that would be nice if they were unleashed to us.
