I'm not sure how this works so an explanation along with an example would be great.
I figured I needed an entity to spawn the cloud, but I'm not sure which entity is invisible and does not clip the player.

PHP Code:

new Float:g_origin[3] = {1247.968750, 2560.031250, 132.031250}
new Float:g_angle[3] = {0.0, 0.0, 0.0};
new iEntity = create_entity("info_target");
engfunc(EngFunc_PlaybackEvent, 0, iEntity, 26, 0.0 , g_origin, g_angle, 0.0, 0.0, 0, 1, 0, 0); 


Thanks!

upd2: I just copied what you posted, sorry

I'm a lamer in theme of entities but info_target is what you need: it is invisible and is not solid

upd: this seems to work

PHP Code:

// summon smoke at player position
public ClCmd_test(id)
{
    new iEntity = create_entity("info_target");
    if( iEntity ) {
        new float:fOrigin[3];
        pev(id, pev_origin, fOrigin);
        engfunc(EngFunc_PlaybackEvent, FEV_GLOBAL, iEntity, 26, 0.0 , fOrigin, {0.0, 0.0, 0.0}, 0.0, 0.0, 0, 1, 0, 0);
        remove_entity(iEntity);
    }
}

// summon smoke at desired position
public ClCmd_test2(id)
{
    new iEntity = create_entity("info_target");
    if( iEntity ) {
        engfunc(EngFunc_PlaybackEvent, FEV_GLOBAL, iEntity, 26, 0.0 , {1247.968750, 2560.031250, 132.031250}, {0.0, 0.0, 0.0}, 0.0, 0.0, 0, 1, 0, 0);
        remove_entity(iEntity);
    }
}

Wow thanks! This is so much fun.
One question, can I emit sound from the entity?

I tried to look at it but I'm not sure how to find the entity index.

Sure.

Upd: example below should work in theory but is not working for me xd

Entity index is the index of that info_target
E.g.:

PHP Code:

public plugin_precache()
{
    precache_sound("weapons/sg_explode.wav");
}

if(placeSmoke)
{
    new iEntity = create_entity("info_target");
    if(iEntity)
    {
        entity_set_origin(iEntity, origin1);
        emit_sound(iEntity , CHAN_WEAPON, "weapons/sg_explode.wav", VOL_NORM, ATTN_NORM, 0, PITCH_NORM);
        engfunc(EngFunc_PlaybackEvent, FEV_GLOBAL, iEntity, 26, 0.0 , origin1, {0.0, 0.0, 0.0}, 0.0, 0.0, 0, 1, 0, 0);
        
        entity_set_origin(iEntity, origin2);
        emit_sound(iEntity , CHAN_WEAPON, "weapons/sg_explode.wav", VOL_NORM, ATTN_NORM, 0, PITCH_NORM);
        engfunc(EngFunc_PlaybackEvent, FEV_GLOBAL, iEntity, 26, 0.0 , origin2, {0.0, 0.0, 0.0}, 0.0, 0.0, 0, 1, 0, 0);
        
        remove_entity(iEntity);
    }
}
