Entity.GetSpawnFlags

{{Lua_function |
  function_name        = Entity:GetSpawnFlags |
  returns              = {{Arg|number}} |
  description          = Returns the total spawn flags, set in Hammer, or a 'SpawnFlags = ' statement in the spawn list.|
  object               = {{Arg|Entity}} |
  lua_state            = {{Shared}} |
}}


==Examples==
{{Lua_example|
description = Returns true if an entity has a specific spawnflag, here the npc_citizen's Medic spawnflag, otherwise false.|
useOn = {{Shared}}|
code = <lua>function IsMedic( ent )

    if !ent:IsValid() then return false end

    local sClass = ent:GetClass()
    if sClass != "npc_citizen" then return false end
    
    return  ( ent:GetSpawnFlags() & 131072 ) 
end</lua>|}}

== Additional Notes ==
* Unless spawnflags are set in the entity's spawn list entry, most entities will return nil when spawned in the game using the Q menu.
* Here the number 131072 corresponds to the numerical value of the spawnflag, SF_CITIZEN_MEDIC, which could have been used instead.
* Note that an npc with any combination of spawnflags will work with this code due to the way spawnflags are designed. So for this example an npc_citizen with the spawnflags 393736 ( Drop Healthkit, Fade Corpse, Medic, Random Head ) will still return true.
