Additional Notes
- This function is only called in the Sandbox gamemode and is only called on SENTs.
- If you do not put this function in your SENT you will not be able to spawn it from the spawn menu.
- You must return the entity you spawned from inside the function.
- If you wish to manually call this function outside of the spawnmenu, use this:
local ent = scripted_ents.GetStored(EntName) ent.t:SpawnFunction(ply, tr)
That will spawn the requested entity, running the SpawnFunction function.
