Additional Notes
- Be warned, that you should never call any hooks from Garry's Mod itself (like PlayerSpawn). But if you created custom hooks, this function is right for you.
- The second argument can be empty or a GAMEMODE table. If the GAMEMODE table is supplied, hook.Call will try to call every hook created with hook.Add first and then GAMEMODE[name].
- This is similar to gamemode.Call, but with the difference. It will always call hooks created with hook.Add.
- If you used gamemode.Call in your scripts before, hooks created with hook.Add will only be called if they have an equivalent in the GAMEMODE table. Otherwise not.
