Additional Notes
- Unlike Entity:Spawn, Entity:Respawn is serverside only.
- When used on a weapon it will create a copy of itself at position (0,0,0).
- When used on an item like a healthkit it will return to the position where it was spawned.
- Both the moved and created entities will appear to be invisible and can not be used for a set time.
- Entities emit a sound when becoming visible.
- Holding an entity with the physgun as it respawns will crash the game.
- The respawned entity won't retain the properties of the first (I.E. The color)
