Creates a clientside only prop with optional physics. See also <page>Global.ClientsideModel</page> if physics is not needed. For physics to work you **must** use the _model_ argument, a simple `SetModel` call will not be enough. <bug issue="861">Parented clientside prop will become detached if the parent entity leaves the PVS. **A workaround is available on its github page.**</bug> </description> <realm>Client</realm> <args> <arg name="model" type="string" default="models/error.mdl">The model for the entity to be created.</arg> </args> <rets> <ret name="" type="Entity">Created entity (`C_PhysPropClientside`).</ret> </rets> </function> <example> <description>Creates a clientside prop at the player location.</description> <code> function GhostBarrel( ply ) local c_Model = ents.CreateClientProp() c_Model:SetPos( ply:GetPos() ) c_Model:SetModel( "models/props_borealis/bluebarrel001.mdl" ) c_Model:SetParent( ply ) c_Model:Spawn() end </code> </example> <example> <description>Creates a clientside prop with physics.</description> <code> concommand.Add( "testent", function( ply ) local plyTr = ply:GetEyeTrace() local csEnt = ents.CreateClientProp( "models/props_combine/combine_light001b.mdl" ) csEnt:SetPos( plyTr.HitPos + plyTr.HitNormal * 24 ) csEnt:Spawn() end ) </code> </example>
