predicted_viewmodel is a point entity available in Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, Portal 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Left 4 Dead series, and Half-Life Deathmatch: Source. It is also available in Black Mesa (mod) (the mod version). This entity is basically a copy of the viewmodel entity, but has prediction. All inputs are shared with CBaseAnimating.

More info

On a new round entities with this classname will intentionally not reset. You can use logic_auto to emulate resetting it. Killing it removes it forever, as it is not respawned on a new round. It cannot be spawned with a point_template. Parenting this with non-preserved entities may have undesirable effects.
