Okay I've had a quite look and I think I've figured out how it all works - my next question is how do I find an entity with a given classname or id or whatever? I've had a bit of a look through the server code but can't quite figure it and I've looked where I thought it might be based on my knowledge of GoldSource but still haven't found an equivalent to pfnFindEntityByString.
