<function name="SetNetworkKeyValue" parent="Entity" type="classfunc"> <description> A helper function to allow setting <page text="Network Variables">Networking_Entities</page> via <page>Entity:SetKeyValue</page>, primarily to allow mappers to set them from Hammer. Meant to be called from <page>ENTITY:KeyValue</page>, see example. See also <page>Entity:SetNetworkVarsFromMapInput</page> for a function that does similar thing for map inputs instead. <note>This function will only work on entities which had <page>Entity:InstallDataTable</page> called on them, which is done automatically for players and all <page>Scripted Entities</page>.</note> </description> <realm>Server</realm> <file line="437-L450">lua/includes/extensions/entity.lua</file>⤶ <args> <arg name="key" type="string">The key-value name, or simply the "key".</arg> <arg name="value" type="string">The key-value value.</arg> </args> <rets> <ret name="" type="boolean">Whether a network variable was set successfully</ret> </rets> </function> <example> <description>Example usage, adding this will allow mappers to set all your key networks as key values. You will also need to provide manually crafted `.fgd` file that lists all the key values. `env_skypaint` can be used as an example (`garrysmod.fgd` and `env_skypaint.lua` in base gamemode).</description> <code> function ENT:KeyValue( key, value ) if ( self:SetNetworkKeyValue( key, value ) ) then return end -- Other code... end </code> </example>
