"Hey, I'm no Lua expert, but I've had some success with using the 'while' loop to create repetitive tasks in GMod. Anyone else have experience with it? It's saved me a ton of time with automating certain map features."

Thoughts on best practices?
"Dude, I've got a sweet tip for using Entity:GetVelocity() to make enemies move in a more natural way, just apply a slight offset to their velocity based on the player's movement and you'll get some sick fluid motion. Also, don't forget to use hook.Run('PlayerSpawn', ply) when making entity spawners, saves a ton of frustration"
