is there a fast way for copying entities/tempentities? (creating multiple entities with same properties at once)
or is the normal initiation as multiple python vars via Entitiy()/Tempentity() the fastest way?

example code :


(can it be done faster? im thinking of some memory trick, although the server probably needs to initiate each object anyway..so a quick confirmation, that is isnt possible, would be enough to help.)

thanks!

BaseEntity is much faster than Entity, but doesn't provide all the convenience methods. TempEntity instance can be created with all the shared properties and then before sending/creating it, you set all the specific properties. That way you only need to create a few instances.
