Spawning entities and vehicles using pointshop

[happytor]

I would like to use pointshop to spawn vehicles and entities. For example, You buy a bouncy ball for 200 points and it spawns right in front of you. Samething with a jeep. Can somebody who is better at lua coding give me the hook/script required to do this?

example of file:

ITEM.Name = 'Jeep'
ITEM.Price = 200
ITEM.Model = 'JEEP MODEL HERE'
ITEM.SingleUse = true

function ITEM:OnBuy(ply)
-Code I need here-

Thanks in advance!

You'll need to use [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/ents/Create"]ents.Create[/URL] for creating the bouncy ball entity, and [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player/GetEyeTrace"]Player:GetEyeTrace()[/URL] for getting where the player is looking.

Ok I understand the 2 formulas to use but could you compile them into a simple block of code so that I can study that? Im not sure how to combine those 2 to get the final product

Something like this. This is just an example, so you should probably add some checks in there.

local function SpawnItOrWhatever(ply) //assuming the function used passes ply.
	local tr = ply:GetEyeTrace();
	
	local v = ents.Create("prop_vehicle_jeep");
	v:SetModel("models/buggy.mdl");
	v:SetKeyValue("vehiclescript", "scripts/vehicles/jeep_test.txt");
	v:SetPos(tr.HitPos)
	v:Spawn();
	v:Activate();
end
