determine a brushes dimensions

is there a way to copy the dimensions of a clipped brush with gameype script? i mean, when i have a not boxshaped trigger brush, i can find it by its classname and create a new entity, which i want to have the same shape as the original trigger. i couldnt find a function to use for this. are entities spawned from gametype script bound have a cuboid collision box to trigger the touch funtion?

I'm not sure to understand the question.

This is how you set a brush model:

// set up the trigger
void trigger_capture_area( cEntity @ent )
{
ent.setupModel( ent.getModelString() ); // set up the brush model
ent.solid = SOLID_TRIGGER;
ent.linkEntity();
ent.wait = 0;

// add a check to free the trigger if it isn't targeting a capture area
ent.nextThink = levelTime + 1;
}

right, basically that was it.
still the other part of the question remains unsolved. and for the fun of it lets make it a whole new problem

i try to get an entity by name like this

void WswJpsToPkJp()
{
    cEntity @ent=G_GetEntity( 0 );
    while((G_FindEntityWithClassname( ent, "trigger_push" )) != null)
        WswJpToPkJp(ent);
}

but it crashed, with an error in G_Render, said, couldnt create any more edict_t and deletet my cfg.

taken another approach i find what i want.

void Pk_Jumppad_think( cEntity @ent )
{
    ent.nextThink = levelTime + 1;
    G_Print("PkPad think");
}

void Pk_Jumppad( cEntity @ent )
{
    G_Print("PkPad spawned");
    cPkJumppad thisPkJumppad( ent ); // spawn a local holder
}

void WswJpToPkJp(cEntity @ent)
{
    cEntity @ePkJp;
    cVec3 a, b;
    
    @ePkJp = @G_SpawnEntity( "Pk_Jumppad" );

    ent.freeEntity();
    ePkJp.linkEntity();

}

//call this from GT_SpawnGametype() to turn normal jumppads into painkiller jumppads
void WswJpsToPkJp()
{
                int maxEs;
    cEntity @ent;
    cString name;
    for ( maxEs = 1; maxEs < numEntities; maxEs++)
        G_Print(G_GetEntity(maxEs).getClassName( ) + "");
    
    for ( maxEs = 1; maxEs < numEntities; maxEs++)
    {
        name = G_GetEntity(maxEs).getClassName( );
        if( name == "trigger_push"  )
        {
            @ent = G_GetEntity(maxEs);
            printit(ent);
            WswJpToPkJp(ent);
        }
    }
}

u see where i am going ;)

the factory funtion of Pk_Jumppad (or w/e it is called) is never reached, neither is the think function :(
how do i spawn it correctly? i should just ditch it and introduce a new map entity, i know.

cEntity @ent;

while(true) {
    @ent = @G_FindEntityWithClassname(@ent, "fdsa");
    if(@ent == null) {
        break;
    }

    // stuff
}

and I guess

cEntity @ent;

while((@ent = @G_FindEntityWithClassname(@ent, "fdsa")) != null) {
    // stuff
}

would work too

edit: missed a brace

The second one doesn't work in angelscript. Or it didn't work, don't remember if it was fixed afterwards.
