<function name="GetSaveTable" parent="Entity" type="classfunc"> <description> Returns a table of save values for an entity. These tables are not the same between the client and the server, and different entities may have different fields. You can get the list different fields an entity has by looking at it's source code ( the 2013 SDK can be found online, https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013 ). Accessible fields are defined by each DEFINE_FIELD and DEFINE_KEYFIELD inside the DATADESC block. You can get the list different fields an entity has by looking at it's source code (the 2013 SDK can be found [online](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013)). Accessible fields are defined by each `DEFINE_FIELD` and `DEFINE_KEYFIELD` inside the `DATADESC` block. Take the headcrab, for example: ``` BEGIN_DATADESC( CBaseHeadcrab ) // m_nGibCount - don't save DEFINE_FIELD( m_bHidden, FIELD_BOOLEAN ), DEFINE_FIELD( m_flTimeDrown, FIELD_TIME ), DEFINE_FIELD( m_bCommittedToJump, FIELD_BOOLEAN ), DEFINE_FIELD( m_vecCommittedJumpPos, FIELD_POSITION_VECTOR ), DEFINE_FIELD( m_flNextNPCThink, FIELD_TIME ), DEFINE_FIELD( m_flIgnoreWorldCollisionTime, FIELD_TIME ), DEFINE_KEYFIELD( m_bStartBurrowed, FIELD_BOOLEAN, "startburrowed" ), DEFINE_FIELD( m_bBurrowed, FIELD_BOOLEAN ), DEFINE_FIELD( m_flBurrowTime, FIELD_TIME ), DEFINE_FIELD( m_nContext, FIELD_INTEGER ), DEFINE_FIELD( m_bCrawlFromCanister, FIELD_BOOLEAN ), DEFINE_FIELD( m_bMidJump, FIELD_BOOLEAN ), DEFINE_FIELD( m_nJumpFromCanisterDir, FIELD_INTEGER ), DEFINE_FIELD( m_bHangingFromCeiling, FIELD_BOOLEAN ), DEFINE_FIELD( m_flIlluminatedTime, FIELD_TIME ), DEFINE_INPUTFUNC( FIELD_VOID, "Burrow", InputBurrow ), DEFINE_INPUTFUNC( FIELD_VOID, "BurrowImmediate", InputBurrowImmediate ), DEFINE_INPUTFUNC( FIELD_VOID, "Unburrow", InputUnburrow ), DEFINE_INPUTFUNC( FIELD_VOID, "StartHangingFromCeiling", InputStartHangingFromCeiling ), DEFINE_INPUTFUNC( FIELD_VOID, "DropFromCeiling", InputDropFromCeiling ), // Function Pointers DEFINE_THINKFUNC( EliminateRollAndPitch ), DEFINE_THINKFUNC( ThrowThink ), DEFINE_ENTITYFUNC( LeapTouch ), END_DATADESC() ``` ⤶ ⤶ For each **DEFINE_FIELD**, the save table will have a key with name of **first** argument. ⤶ For each **DEFINE_KEYFIELD**, the save table will have a key with name of the **third** argument.⤶ ⤶ * For each **DEFINE_FIELD**, the save table will have a key with name of **first** argument.⤶ * For each **DEFINE_KEYFIELD**, the save table will have a key with name of the **third** argument.
