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 SprayDummy() {}
function Spray(sprayer, sprayowner) {
    local spraycan = SpawnEntityFromTable("spraycan", {
    	origin = sprayer.GetCenter() + Vector(0,0,32),
    	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 = "SprayDummy" //thinkfunction key needs to be non-empty for the entity to work
    });
