when the trace hits i create a ent like this
some_ent = ent_create ("ent.mdl",hit.x,dosome);
how can i convert the hit x to a point 10 or 50 quants before hit.x anywhere on the player?

cant follow you at all the 1st, create a origin and a hit and subtract them like this
vec_set(vec_origin,vector(player.x,player.y,player.z));
vec_set(vec_hit,hit.x);
vec_sub(vec_hit,vec_origin);
and store its length like this?
var length=vec_length(vec_hit);
var distance=50;
//how to go on?
vec_normalize(length,distance);
vec_add(vec_origin,length);
anyent = ent_create ("ent.mdl",vec_origin,doanything);

I would do it like this: (should be the same as sivan's suggestion)
VECTOR* trace_vec;
vec_set(trace_vec, [vec from trace start to trace hit]);
var dist = vec_length(trace_vec);
vec_normalize(trace_vec, dist - 50); // keep 50 quants distance to hit position
vec_add(trace_vec, [trace start position]);
after this 'trace_vec' is the spawn position of your entity, 50 quants away from the hit position (at least in theory).
