Class hierarchy
CBaseEntity defined in props.cpp

func_proprrespawnzone is a brush entity available in all Source games. It makes clientside physics props that were placed within its volume respawn or teleport back to their original location when the player is at least cl_phys_props_respawndist units away (default 1500) and cannot see the respawning. This check is done roughly every cl_phys_props_respawnrate (default 60) seconds. To ensure clientside physics prop is spawned prop_physics_multiplayer with physicsmode set to 3 can be used.

Warning:This entity applies its effect based on its AABB instead of its brush model. [ Edit ]

Note:Doesn't work in Left 4 Dead 2 which also doesn't have cvars cl_phys_props_respawndist and cl_phys_props_respawnrate whose presence is probably good indication whether this entity works in a given game.

Todo: Works in . Test other games
