Client-side Temp Ents are great, personally I just edit the following
routine in entity.cpp:
void DLLEXPORT HUD_TempEntUpdate
You can basically do what you want with it in there. Check this section here
if ( !active ) // Kill it
{
pTemp->next = *ppTempEntFree;
*ppTempEntFree = pTemp;
if ( !pprev ) // Deleting at head of list
*ppTempEntActive = pnext;
else
pprev->next = pnext;
}
This is called when life has run out to remove it from the linked list etc,
you could put some special case code here, either by adding another custom
FTENT_ flag or whatever you like. I use HUD_TempEntUpdate for custom control
of sprites (dust, smoke, etc), as far as I know it should work the same with
temp-entity models.
You'll find the origin in, pTemp->entity.origin and the velocity its in
pTemp->entity.baseline.origin, took me a bit of debuging and mucking about
to find that!
Hopefully this should be of some help.

With a server side tempent? You don't.
If you were doing it client side, (efx api, which calls into the
tempents without messages), you can run callback functions which you can
use to detect when it stops moving. But other than that, sool.

When you create an SVC_TEMPENTITY of type TE_MODEL (an entity that has
direction and velocity that bounces off other entities, walls, etc for a
time duration) How do you learn of the final position of the temp
entity?
Example: If the temp entity bounces off a wall and comes to rest on the
ground and the time the temp entity is allowed to exist expires how do
you find its final location?
