duplicator.RegisterEntityClass

  duplicator.RegisterEntityClass( string name, function function, ... )

Description

This allows you to specify a specific function to be run when your SENT is pasted with the duplicator, instead of relying on the generic automatic functions.

Automatically calls duplicator.Allow for the entity class.

Arguments

1 string name
The ClassName of the entity you wish to register a factory for
2 function function
The factory function you want to have called.
Function argument(s):
1 Player ply - The player that is spawning the entity.
2 vararg ... - Whatever arguments you request to be passed.
Function return value(s):
1 Entity ent - It also should return the entity created, otherwise duplicator.Paste result will not include it!
3 vararg args
Strings of the names of arguments you want passed to function the from the EntityCopyData structure. As a special case, "Data" will pass the whole structure.

Example

Prints the datatable and then lets the duplicator do it's job

duplicator.RegisterEntityClass("prop_physics", function(ply, data) PrintTable(data) return duplicator.GenericDuplicatorFunction(ply, data) end, "Data")
