   ARPrint("Found "..count.." intersections");
   for i = 1,count do
      local firstHit = g_HitTable[i];
      ARPrint("hit type: "..g_HitResultTypes[firstHit.type+1]);
      ARPrint("hit pos: "..Vec2Str(firstHit.pos));
      ARPrint("hit normal: "..Vec2Str(firstHit.normal));
      ARPrint("hit dist: "..firstHit.dist);
      if firstHit.entity then
	 ARPrintEntity(firstHit.entity);
      end
      if firstHit.renderNode then
	 ARPrint("hit rendernode: "..tostring(firstHit.renderNode));
      end
      if firstHit.surface_idx then
	 ARPrint("hit surface: "..tostring(firstHit.surface_idx));
      end
   end
end
