The base class for all entities.

Model (model) <string>: In-game representation of the entity to display. For brush entities, this is a reference to a non-zero bmodel index in the current BSP. For point entities, this is the path to an MDL model or VMT sprite, relative to the game's root directory (or occasionally materials/). Not all entities will actually render the model, and only specific entities will precache the model defined here (non-precached models cannot be displayed).

To get the class name of an entity, use

entity->edict()->GetClassName();

Problem:

// Model could not be found
Assert( !"Model could not be found, index is -1" );
