By the way, while investigating this issue I did a test and found out that func_wall entities do not cast shadows on the world, while func_detail did. Is this behavior expected? I thought they were mostly the same.

The 2D views still struggle when too many elements are rendered, though.

• the brush is either invalid (fix it)
• or it's part of a brush entity (turn it into world, or put brushes behind it)

if ( m_life != 0 )
{
    if ( pev->spawnflags & SF_BEAM_RANDOM )
        pev->nextthink = gpGlobals->time + m_life + RANDOM_FLOAT( 0, m_restrike );
    else
        pev->nextthink = gpGlobals->time + m_life + m_restrike;
}

return !pAttacker->IsPlayer();

On that note: to use the CMake version of Half-Life Updated you currently have to build the INSTALL target to deploy the libraries, which might be a bit cumbersome and annoying.

result = condition ? a : b;

if ( condition )
   result = a;
else
   result = b;

#define VectorAdd(a,b,c) \
{ \
   (c)[0]=(a)[0]+(b)[0]; \
   (c)[1]=(a)[1]+(b)[1]; \
   (c)[2]=(a)[2]+(b)[2]; \
}

Vector myVector = Vector( 20, 40, 50 );
// Alternatively: Vector myVector{ 20, 40, 50 };
VectorAdd( pparams->viewangles, myVector, pparams->viewangles );

void MyFunction( Vector* someParam )
{
   someParam->z += 20.0f;
}
...
Vector myVector{ 0, 0, 0 };
MyFunction( &myVector );

void MyFunction( Vector& someParam )
{
   someParam.z += 20.0f;
}
...
Vector myVector{ 0, 0, 0 };
MyFunction( myVector );
