Can be done in Hammer using https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Env_entity_maker, but it'd be nice to be able to do it map-agnostically.

7:48 PM - squeek.: what were you intending to spawn?
7:49 PM - ルーキー: i havent really thought of it yet
7:49 PM - ルーキー: but it would be really useful
7:49 PM - ルーキー: lol
7:49 PM - ルーキー: being able to spawn flags at some points or anything else really
7:50 PM - ルーキー: just spawn new things when someone dies
7:50 PM - squeek.: you can use env_entity_maker to do that
7:50 PM - squeek.: and OutputEvent
7:50 PM - squeek.: to trigger it through lua
7:50 PM - ルーキー: what if it isnt in a map but
7:50 PM - ルーキー: ive been more modding other maps

Looking up how to use the entity_maker it seems that the point_template actually copies an entity to be spawned. So here's some more information on it. https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Point_template

Add basic support for spawning entities through Lua
b6ddcab 
 - Not very well tested, but is able to spawn info_ff_scripts like flags and have them work like normal
 - Added baseentity:SetName(string name)
 - Added global function SpawnEntity(string entity_class_name, string entity_name) that returns the entity spawned or nil if unsuccessful (example: `local entity = SpawnEntity("info_ff_script", "red_flag")`)
 - Added global function SpawnEntity(string entity_class_name) that returns the entity spawned or nil if unsuccessful (example: `local entity = SpawnEntity("info_ff_script")`)
 - Closes #63
