util.TraceHull Crashing

[Butt Snorkler]

Whenever I try to modify the mins and maxs of a tracehull to account for an angle offset, it seems to crash. I might be missing something obvious, but is there a reason it would crash?

[lua]
local function MoveOffset(pos, ang)
return Vector(pos.x * ang:Right(), pos.y * ang:Forward(), pos.z * ang:Up())
end

function ENT:HasValidPlacement(pos)
local ang = self:GetAngles()
-- it only crashes with I try to use MoveOffset
local mins = MoveOffset(self:OBBMins(), ang)
local maxs = MoveOffset(self:OBBMaxs(), ang)

-- old, working code
--local mins = self:OBBMins()
--local maxs = self:OBBMaxs()
maxs.z = (maxs.z * 0.5)

pos = pos + Vector(0, 0, self:OBBMaxs().z * 0.5)
local tr = {
start = pos,
endpos = pos,
mins = mins,
maxs = maxs,
filter = {self, owner}
}

local hullTrace = util.TraceHull(tr)
if hullTrace.HitWorld then
return false
end

return true
end[/lua]

Seems like something else is causing the crash:

] lua_run print(Entity(1):HasValidPlacement( Entity(1):GetPos() ))
> print(Entity(1):HasValidPlacement( Entity(1):GetPos() ))...
true
] lua_run print(Entity(1):HasValidPlacement( vector_origin ))
> print(Entity(1):HasValidPlacement( vector_origin ))...
true
] lua_run print(Entity(1):HasValidPlacement( Vector( 1512, 12421, 10 ) ))
> print(Entity(1):HasValidPlacement( Vector( 1512, 12421, 10 ) ))...
false

I tried this on the bouncy ball SENT as well with the same results.

It didn't seem to crash when I ran it once, but when I have running continuously in a Think() it does crash.

end

if (not IsValid(owner)) then return end

self:SetRotation(math.NormalizeAngle(owner:GetInfoNum("ent_rotation", 0)))

if tr.HitWorld and (not tr.HitSky) then
local rot = self.Rotation
eyeangles = tr.HitNormal:Angle()
eyeangles:RotateAroundAxis(eyeangles:Right(), rot.pitch)

local pos, ang = tr.HitPos, eyeangles
self:SetPos(pos)
self:SetAngles(ang)

I think you might want to slow your think down, that's a lot of expensive work to be done in that hook.
