Additional Notes

• This is useful to melee weapons, since a direct line to the target isn't necessary.
• As stated above, the line doesn't have to pass through the entity, simply near the entity.
• This function differs from TakeDamageInfo in that the entity not only takes the damage but also that the engine triggers any related effects such as blood.
