SpawnFunction inherits, but doesn't work.

[al-ryazanov]

I have a quite simple and universal SpawnFunction in my base entity:

function ENT:SpawnFunction( ply, tr )
	if !tr then if ValidEntity(ply) then tr = ply:GetEyeTraceNoCursor() else return end end
	if ( !tr.Hit ) then return end
	local SpawnPos = tr.HitPos + tr.HitNormal * 20
	local ent = ents.Create( self.ClassName )
	ent:SetPos( SpawnPos )
	ent:Spawn()
	ent:Activate()
	ent:OnSpawn()
	return ent
end

When I create entities based on the entity with that function, they get the same SpawnFunction method (I can say that because when doing print(scripted_ents.Get(string classname)) for both entities (base and derived) in console I get the same exact function indexes - function: 03745628). Even though this must be correct, one thing does not happen. The derived entity does not spawn from the spawn menu. I wrote a small fix for that:

function ENT:SpawnFunction(ply)
	return scripted_ents.Get(self.Base).SpawnFunction(self,ply)
end

This works like charm, but doesn't meet my requirements. Is it possible to make the SpawnFunction of the derived entity auto-derive from its base?
