If that is all it takes I don't think it would be too hard to add maybe some
way to flag the MoveProbe to use those functions for tracing instead of the
ones it uses now
Like however you decide to flag your npc to use OBB, then you would in the
MoveProbe have something like
if(m_bOBB)
AI_TraceEntity(blah)
else
*Original Trace Function*
I just said this without looking at the code too well. I think first you
would want to confirm that, the trace you have there actually works as you
want it and if it does, then you just have to go through all the traces
involved with AI pathing and add the bool situation.

Well, there is UTIL_TraceEntity/AI_TraceEntity, which seems to be able to
sweep an OBB. But I don't think the path finding code is set up to use it.
Though of course I haven't read every file in the SDK and I was hoping
there
was some NPC/code path that overrides the TraceHull CAI_MoveProbe with a
TraceEntity one. What I want seems possible but with no working example or
advice I'm reluctant to start coding it in case it becomes too
difficult/impossible.

Paul

For me personally, the lack of a SOLID_OBB is the biggest flaw in Source.
We should chain ourselves to the valve offices until they expose or
implement a SOLID_OBB or something equivalent.
