<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. ⤶ <note>It is highly recommended to use <page>Entity:GetInternalVariable</page> for retrieving a single key of the save table for performance reasons.</note>⤶ 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. ⤶ See <page>Entity:GetInternalVariable</page> for only retrieving one key of the save table.⤶ </description> <realm>Shared</realm> <args> <arg name="showAll" type="boolean">If set, shows all variables, not just the ones for save.</arg> <arg name="showAll" type="boolean">If set, shows all variables, not just the ones marked for save/load system.</arg> </args> <rets> <ret name="" type="table">A table containing all save values in key/value format.
