You can use ClientEntityList().GetClientEntity(int index), however
you'll run into problems unless all your server entities also exist on
the client. For instance, you may well have entities which exist
server-side only (such as your control points).
In this case, user messages are probably a better option - you could
have control points on the server send out update messages every so
often.
Alternatively, if you're happier with the entity code, just create stub
classes for your control points c client-side, just so that the client
knows about their existence and position.

Subject: [hlcoders] findind entities client side
Hi, just a quick question. I have a VGUI panel that is going to
display the status of control points on the map. The entity we are
using to place these points has a client side class too so I want to
be able to grab the info from the client version instead of using user
messages.
I was about to use the gEntList.FindEntityByClassname function then I
noticed it's never used client side. Is there a client equilivant to
this? I need to search for every ent with the classname flag and get
info from them.
Or is this a job for user messages?
