Add Main Description Here.



= Message Types=
Sets the type of message the temp entity is transmitted in.

MSG_ types that can be used for ''dest'' field in [http://www.amxmodx.org/funcwiki.php?go=func&id=262 message_begin] are as follows:
<pre>#define MSG_BROADCAST		0	// unreliable to all
#define MSG_ONE			1	// reliable to one (msg_entity)
#define MSG_ALL			2	// reliable to all
#define MSG_INIT		3	// write to the init string
#define MSG_PVS			4	// Ents in PVS of org
#define MSG_PAS			5	// Ents in PAS of org
#define MSG_PVS_R		6	// Reliable to PVS
#define MSG_PAS_R		7	// Reliable to PAS
#define MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE	8	// Send to one client, but don't put in reliable stream, put in unreliable datagram (could be dropped)
#define MSG_SPEC		9	// Sends to all spectator proxies</pre>
