Summary	0003828: trigger_touch hidden clipmodel breaks assumptions
Description	trigger_touch entities store their clipmodel at spawn in a hidden variable, and then replace it with NULL. This "hidden storage" breaks a lot of assumptions about entities. For instance, if you call getMins() or getMaxs(), you end up with "0 0 0" for both. Likewise, you cannot call getOrigion() on a trigger_touch entity to get the origin, as this returns the same for all trigger entities. In addition, it seems impossible to move trigger_touch entities during runtime, as setOrigin() etc. would fail due to the physics object being empty, respectable the hidden clipModel never getting any updates.

tels 23.08.2014 10:20 reporter ~0006876	This bug means among other things that binding a trigger_touch to an entity will not work - if the bindmaster moves, the trigger simply stays where it was. (Or at least, even if the trigger moved, you could not query it's new position with getOrigin(); as that does not return the true origin, either)
