Note:Tested in

Can be used to spray a spray of a chosen connected player. Following function takes player handle of a player from whose eye position and angles spraycan is created at and handle of the player whose spray we want to use.

function Spray(sprayer, sprayowner) {
    local spraycan = SpawnEntityFromTable("spraycan", {
    	origin = sprayer.EyePosition(),
    	angles = sprayer.EyeAngles().ToKVString(),
    	vscripts = "spraycan_setup", //vscripts key needs to be non-empty for the entity to work, can be even non existent file but that prints warning to console
        nextthink = 1, //won't work without this
    	thinkfunction = "RocketRaccoonSupremacy" //thinkfunction key needs to be non-empty for the entity to work
    });
	NetProps.SetPropEntity(self, "m_hOwnerEntity", sprayowner);
	EmitSoundOn("SprayCan.Paint", self);
}

spraycan_setup.nut contains:

function RocketRaccoonSupremacy() {
    EntFire("!self", "Kill", "", 2); //entity killed after 2 seconds just in case something fails
    return 999;
}
