DP TRACE HITCONTENTSMASK SURFACEINFO

Globals:

.float dphitcontentsmask; // If non-zero on the entity passed to traceline/tracebox/tracetoss
                          // this will override the normal collidable contents rules and
                          // instead hit these contents values (for example AI can use
                          // tracelines that hit DONOTENTER if it wants to, by simply changing
                          // this field on the entity passed to traceline), this affects normal
                          // movement as well as trace calls
float trace_dpstartcontents; // DPCONTENTS_ value at start position of trace
float trace_dphitcontents; // DPCONTENTS_ value of impacted surface (not contents at impact
                           //point, just contents of the surface that was hit)
float trace_dphitq3surfaceflags; // Q3SURFACEFLAG_ value of impacted surface
string trace_dphittexturename; // texture name of impacted surface

Adds additional information after a traceline/tracebox/tracetoss call.

Also (very important) sets trace_* globals before calling .touch functions, this allows them to inspect the nature of the collision (for example determining if a projectile hit sky), clears trace_* variables for the other object in a touch event (that is to say, a projectile moving will see the trace results in its .touch function, but the player it hit will see very little information in the trace_ variables as it was not moving at the time)
