Hey, I've got a problem with understanding of this piece of code. Can someone tell me what self.Owner does and when we use it? Also, what is with this tracedata.endpos = pos+(ang*80)? And how can we check if trace hit the player?

self.Owner is the owner of the entity ( I think ) or else its the player. tracedata.endpos = pos+(ang*80) is basicly, the Position + The Angle timed with 80, Which gives an Angle of 80. Because Angle = 1.
