Create()

CBaseEntity::Create() creates and spawns a new entity. It can be called directly as well as from an existing object.

Todo: Is there any difference between those two approaches?

There is also CBaseTempEntity::Create(), which has a similar purpose but behaves quite differently.

Arguments

const char* szName

The classname of the entity that should be created. Must be a pointer to constant memory; an ordinary string literal like "npc_class" will do.

const Vector& vecOrigin

The initial origin of the entity.

const QAngle& vecAngles

The initial orientation of the entity.

CBaseEntity* pOwner

The owner of the new entity. Pass NULL if there shouldn't be one.
