Additional Notes
- This is more efficient than doing your own trace as it is only created once per frame and cached.
- This is now part of the base gamemode and should always be available.
- This uses the cursor aim vector, so if your cursor is visible, you will get a trace to what your mouse is over.
- See also Player.GetEyeTraceNoCursor which is like GetEyeTrace but doesn't use the cursor aim vector.
- Does not appear to trace for the eye as of October 4th, 2010. Appears to trace from the base of the player.
