Half-Life SDK Programming #3: Tracelines
Tracelines. Very powerful things they are. It sure took me a while to do this, due to exams and everything, but I'm here now. Here you'll see how to use UTIL_TraceLine to write a very simple camera entity.
I accidentally skipped part 2.5, which was supposed to be about enhancing existing entities, because I simply happened to be editing this one first, so yeah. Going out of order is okay in this instance though, since the two videos are pretty much independent from each other. Both have been recorded though, and I am now writing the scripts for 3.1 and 3.2.
