<function name="SetNetworkVarsFromMapInput" parent="Entity" type="classfunc">⤶
<description>⤶
A helper function to allow setting <page text="Network Variables">Networking_Entities</page> via <page>Entity:Fire</page>, primarily to allow mappers to set them from Hammer via Map I/O logic.⤶
⤶
Meant to be called from <page>ENTITY:AcceptInput</page>, see example.⤶
⤶
See also <page>Entity:SetNetworkKeyValue</page> for a function that does similar thing, but for entity key-values in Hammer 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>Example usage, adding this will allow mappers to set all your networks vars using Map I/O inputs. 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>⤶
