Create a entity which automaticly places itself near an other entity

[markusmarkusz]

Is where a way to automaticly place an entity under an other entity without setting positions by hand?

So after map loading I'd like that a dummy entity automaticly places itself under an specific map entity.

Nope

Yep

Go look at the entity in the map in singleplayer, open console and type

lua_run print(Entity(1):GetEyeTrace().Entity:MapCreationID())

You'll get a number in console, then use this code in the server domain

local mapentid = the_number_you_got_above
local entname = "the_entity_you_want_to_spawn"
local mapname = "the_name_of_the_map_wihout_extension_ex_gm_flatgrass_not_gm_flatgrass.bsp"
local dist = the_distance_under_the_entity_it_should_spawn
hook.Add( "InitPostEntity", "CreateMyEnt", function()
        if game.GetMap() ~= mapname then return end
        local mapent = ents.GetMapCreatedEntity(mapentid)
	local dummyent = ents.Create(entname)
        dummyent:SetPos(mapent:GetPos() + Vector(0,0,-dist))
        dummyent:Spawn()
end )

If every map you use will have an entity, you can replace the ents.GetMapCreatedEntity() with [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/ents/FindByClass]ents.FindByClass[/url] or something.

I solved my problem another way.
So I don't need my dummy entity.
Anyway thanks for your help.
