This is useful for entities which can be controlled by player input.⤶ ⤶ Any datatable value that mismatches from the server will be overridden and a prediction error will be spewed.⤶ ⤶ Weapons are predictable by default, and the drive system uses this function to make the controlled prop predictable as well.⤶ ⤶ Visit for a list of all predicted hooks, and the <page>Prediction</page> page.⤶ For further technical information on the subject, visit [valve's wiki](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Prediction).⤶ ⤶ <note>This function resets the datatable variables everytime it's called, it should ideally be called when a player starts using the entity and when he stops</note>⤶ <note>Entities set as predictable with this function will be unmarked when the user lags and receives a full packet update, to handle such case visit <page>GM:NotifyShouldTransmit</page></note>⤶ </description>⤶ <realm>Client</realm>⤶ <args>⤶ <arg name="setPredictable" type="boolean">whether to make this entity predictable or not.</arg>⤶ </args>⤶ </function>⤶ ⤶
