env_sprite_clientside is a point entity available in all Source Source games since Alien Swarm Alien Swarm.(also in Garry's Mod)

C++ Class hierarchy
CSprite
↳CBaseEntity
C++ Sprite.cpp

It is an entity that controls the drawing of a sprite in the world, created clientside so cannot be parented to moving things and will use up no network bandwidth or CPU.

Note.pngNote:This entity is the same as env_sprite with only difference being that it's removed server-side upon spawning, reducing edict usage thereafter.
Icon-Important.pngImportant:Due to this, it will not be preserved when loading a saved game; as such, this entity should only be used in multiplayer.[confirm]
Warning.pngWarning:Remains as an edict if targetname or parentname is specified
Note.pngNote:All Keyvalues / Inputs / Outputs are same as env_sprite.
