Check if a vector is inside a brush entity?

[Robert64]

I have a brush entity called a krp_room, and I want to check if a vector ( x, y, z ) is inside the brush. Is there a function to do this?

Can't you just check if it's inside the brush box?

[Robert64]

The brush isn't always a box shape, and can be made up of several brushes too.

I'm not sure that I can use either for what I need, but thanks for searching. I think I may have to make an invisible entity at the point and use the StartTouch hook in the brush entity.

Untested but should work.

shared.lua
[lua]_R["Entity"].IsInsideEntity = function(self, ent)
local origin = self:LocalToWorld(self:OBBCenter())
local entnearest = ent:NearestPoint(origin)
return entnearest:Distance(self:NearestPoint(entnearest)) == 0
end[/lua]

in your brush entity or whatever.
[lua]if someentity:IsInsideEntity(self) then
--whatever
end[/lua]
