This is wrong, there are 8 calls to CREATE_NAMED_ENTITY and 81 calls to
GetClassPtr, in my mod anyways :}

Calling the spawn function is fine, it is done for grenades, spraycans, rpg
rockets and many other things.
Fundamentally I don't think there is much difference in either of these methods.
However as nothing else has worked I tried the following code, with exactly the
same results, i.e it spawn and is displayed but does not collide.
Vector origint = VecBModelOrigin(pev); // Get origin of model
edict_t *pent;
CBaseEntity *pEntity;
pent = CREATE_NAMED_ENTITY(MAKE_STRING("func_breakable"));
if ( !(FNullEnt( pent ) ))
{
pEntity = Instance( pent );
pEntity->pev->origin = origint;
pEntity->pev->model = MAKE_STRING(CSDE_MODEL);
DispatchSpawn(pent);
}
