I tried putting prop_dynamic into the preserved entities list before and it did nothing. It was still being deleted because of its GLOBAL_DEAD state. Also, we need it to be respawned because the mechanics of our map gameplay need it to be there on map restart.
I'm kinda wondering, whats the GLOBAL_DEAD state mean? Its a prop_dynamic so obviously its not dead, so what does it really mean?
