Here's the command registration:

RegConsoleCmd("sm_spawn", Clnt_sm_spawn, "desc", 0);

My function looks like:

public Action Clnt_sm_spawn(int client, int args) {
    char arg1[32];//, arg2[32];
    
    GetCmdArg(1, arg1, sizeof(arg1));
    //GetCmdArg(2, arg2, sizeof(arg2));
    
    downloadClientVector(client); // save to (float playerPosition[3])
    
    int entindex = CreateEntityByName(arg1);

    SetEntPropVector(entindex, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", playerPosition);
    
    DispatchSpawn(entindex);
    ActivateEntity(entindex);
}

Here's the list of ents: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/...Swarm_entities

Example use (from client console) :
sm_spawn asm_pickup_sentry

When i type some of non-existing ent's the SetEntPropVector throw me error about createing non-existing ent, but when i use correctly class name nothing happend. What am i doing wrong?

I would say you need to DispatchSpawn before setting m_vecOrigin

So i changed it to:

public Action Clnt_sm_spawn(int client, int args) {
    char arg1[32];//, arg2[32];
    
    GetCmdArg(1, arg1, sizeof(arg1));
    //GetCmdArg(2, arg2, sizeof(arg2));
    
    downloadClientVector(client);
    
    int entindex = CreateEntityByName(arg1);
    
    DispatchSpawn(entindex);
    
    SetEntPropVector(entindex, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", playerPosition);
    ActivateEntity(entindex);
}

And still nothing happends.

I don't know a lot about Alien Swarm, but as I recall, the character on the screen is actually a separate entity from the client entity.

Mind sharing how you solved your question for future readers?

That's correct. The player/client is attached to the camera up above. The marine position is likely desired instead.

The helpers here probably still work, https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1361373
