See <page>Entity:GetChildren</page>. [issue tracker](https://github.com/Facepunch/garrysmod-issues/issues/1736) <page>Entity:SetFlexScale</page> and other flex/bone manipulation functions will create a child entity. </note> </description> <realm>Server</realm> <args> <arg name="player" type="Player" alttype="CRecipientFilter">The player to stop networking the entity to.
