Entities in all source MP games are handled by the server, the client is untrusted as such on connection to a server or loading a new map from the server the client downloads the entities to use from the server ( the entities in the clients BSP are never used ) there are different methods used to override what entities the client use.
example bits of code are available in the sdk from the new round code to the system used in EP2 that overrides the entity lump thats sent to the client.

I want them read/done soon as the map is finished loading server-side. > Thanks! _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
