<function name="OnRemove" parent="ENTITY" type="hook"> <ishook>yes</ishook> <description> Called when the entity is about to be removed. See also <page>Entity:CallOnRemove</page>, which can even be used on engine (non-Lua) entities. ## Clientside behaviour remarks This hook may be called at odd times (when entity has actually not yet been removed from the server). This happens during fullupdate with the <page>ENTITY:Initialize</page> function not being called even when the entity reappears. You can debug this behaviour by enabling cheats and running **cl_fullupdate** on the client. <page>GM:NotifyShouldTransmit</page> can be used to circumvent this problem. <page>ENTITY:Think</page> can also be used to detect that the entity has reappeared. You may reinitialize any necessary data in these hooks. </description> <realm>Shared</realm> <predicted>No</predicted> </function> ⤶ ⤶ <example>⤶ <description>Create an explosion when the entity will be removed.
