TempEnts (SourceMod SDKTools)
TempEnts, also called "temporary entities," "tempentities," or "TEs," are quick graphical displays that are too simple to justify the overhead of a CBaseEntity instantiation or full server-side networkability. In the SDK, they are statically defined instances that can be "played back" to the client by simply sending a copy of its network class properties.
For more information on SourceMod's TempEnt support, see the SDKTools TempEnt Functions writeup.
