Tracing Entities created on the Client - Developers

I've run into a bit of a snag with my current project. I am creating prop_physics entities on the clientside and I then need to be able to hit these entities with traces. Unfortunately, it seems this is not possible, or *hopefully* something has to be done to enable traces to hit them. Here is what I am currently doing on the Client: [code] local Ent = ents.Create("prop_physics") Ent:SetModel("models/Items/AR2_Grenade.mdl") Ent:SetPos(Vector(0,0,0)) Ent:Spawn() [/code] And then I will do a QuickTrace right through 0,0,0, also done on the Client (Which would normally hit that entity) [code] local Trace = util.QuickTrace(Vector(0,0,100),Vector(0,0,-200)) PrintTable(Trace) [/code] The trace result shows that it hit nothing, however if I then create this entity on the serverside with the exact same code above, it hits it with a trace. I have tried playing with :PhysicsInit(SOLID_VPHYSICS), :InitializeAsClientEntity(), and various other functions, but none of them have allowed me to trace it. Is anyone aware of a way to get this to work?

Maybe there is a mask you need to set the trace to in order to hit client entities.

Clientside prop_physics's doesnt have any form of physics, i don't think theres a way

[QUOTE=Tobba;25747601]Clientside prop_physics's doesnt have any form of physics, i don't think theres a way[/QUOTE] Actually you can give them physics.

[QUOTE=DarKSunrise;25747664]Actually you can give them physics.[/QUOTE] Correct, and I tried this, which also did not allow traces to hit. I was hoping someone would have ran into this issue before and found a solution, but I suppose the chances of someone making props clientside and then needing to trace them does not occur often.

Maybe try changing the collision bounds?

[QUOTE=ralle105;25748239]Maybe try changing the collision bounds?[/QUOTE] Tried that as well, did not resolve it.

this is why I want a trace function that will hit models just like bullets do

[QUOTE=CapsAdmin;25748409]this is why I want a trace function that will hit models just like bullets do[/QUOTE] That would very handy at times like these. I wonder how easily the Tracer code could be reverse engineered to give us this function.

[QUOTE=CapsAdmin;25748409]this is why I want a trace function that will hit models just like bullets do[/QUOTE] Bullets don't hit client-side stuff though.

[QUOTE=ralle105;25748662]Bullets don't hit client-side stuff though.[/QUOTE] There's probably some flag or whatever something that you can enable on them.

[QUOTE=ralle105;25748662]Bullets don't hit client-side stuff though.[/QUOTE] What about stuff like CSS debris? Bullets will effect those, but traces won't hit them.
