[Solved] Masking certain props

Masking certain props

When using util.TraceLine is it possible to add certain props to the mask? For example can I have

Code:

local los = {}
-- other info
los.mask = MASK_SHOT + (The prop that it should ignore)
local tr = util.TraceLine(los)

Or can you only use the mask and contents enums

you can only mask's and content enums

but what you can do is filter out props using filter in the trace structure

https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Structures/Trace

what you can do is just check the model name using https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/GetModel

then filter it out

Code:

local los = {}

-- other shit
los.filter = function( ent ) if ( ent:GetModel() == "modelorsomething" ) then return false else return true end

or some shit

los.filter = function( ent ) return ( ent:GetModel() == "modelorsomething" )

Thanks bud didn't think of using filter
