<function name="FindByClass" parent="ents" type="libraryfunc"> <description> Gets all entities with the given class, supports wildcards. This works internally by iterating over <page>ents.GetAll</page>. Even if internally ents.GetAll is used, It is faster to use ents.FindByClass than ents.GetAll with a single class comparison. <note>Asterisks (*) are the only wildcard supported.</note> </description> <realm>Shared</realm> <args> <arg name="class" type="string">The class of the entities to find.</arg> </args> <rets> <ret name="" type="table">A table containing all found entities</ret> </rets> </function> <example> <description>Prints the location of every prop on the map.</description> <code> for k, v in pairs( ents.FindByClass( "prop_*" ) ) do for k, v in ipairs( ents.FindByClass( "prop_*" ) ) do print( v:GetPos() ) end </code> <output> The location of each prop on the map.
