CBaseEntity

Overview

The class from which all entity types derive from. The only exceptions to this are TempEnts, which are temporary entities that are too simple to warrant the overhead of inheriting from CBaseEntity.

If this is set, then it places this ent's origin at its parent and uses the parent's bbox + the max extents of the aiment. Otherwise, it sets up the parent's bones every frame to figure out where to place the aiment, which is inefficient because it'll setup the parent's bones even if the parent is not in the PVS.) 256 - EF_ITEM_BLINK (Blink an item so that the user notices it) 512 - EF_PARENT_ANIMATES (Always assume that the parent entity is animating)
