NetworkMessage Function

{
	// Center location of the decal. It needs to be witnin a few units of a surface.
	Vector pos = ent.pev.origin;
	
	TraceResult tr;
	g_Utility.TraceLine( pos - Vector(5,5,5), pos + Vector(5,5,5),
		ignore_monsters, ent.edict(), tr );
	
	int entIdx = g_EntityFuncs.EntIndex( tr.pHit );

	// create the message
	NetworkMessage m(msgType, NetworkMessages::SVC_TEMPENTITY, dest);
	m.WriteByte(TE_BSPDECAL);
	m.WriteCoord(pos.x);
	m.WriteCoord(pos.y);
	m.WriteCoord(pos.z);
	m.WriteShort(ent.pev.skin); // texture index of precached decal texture name
	m.WriteShort(entIdx);       // entity index
	// [optional - only included if previous short is non-zero (not the world)]
	if ( entIdx != 0 )
		m.WriteShort( g_EntityFuncs.Instance( tr.pHit ).pev.modelindex );
		// index of model of above entity
	m.End();
