Example

Example usage of it for light entities possibly saving 1k edict slots for huge maps

hook.Add("HolyLib:PostEntityConstructor", "Example_ServerSide_Lights", function(class) if class == "light" then -- Return true makes these entities serverside only since they do not need networking at all -- This is because they use the lightstyle stringtable for networking / use the IVEngineServer::LightStyle binding return true end end)
