You can also pass flags to created entities like this: Syntax: ent_create <entity name> spawnflags <combo>
- ent_create point_viewcontrol spawnflags 264 angles "0 0 90"
- creates a 90 flipped point_viewcontrol that does not start at/follow the player and has an infinite hold time. For an understanding of angles, see getpos.
