====Syntax:====

<code>entity spawn()</code>
  
== Usage ==

Used to create a new, empty entity. You can manually set every field, or just set the origin and call one of the existing entity setup functions.
Creates a new default entity. Note that if you're spawning an entity that relies on precached sounds and models, one entity of that type must be spawned at map load or their sounds and models precached elsewhere (the server itself, another entity type, etc.).

=== Return ===
 
The newly created entity.
 
 
== Example ==

self = ogre;
 
monster_ogre();
 
self = curSelf;
