Basic usage

@name e2m_example_basic
@inputs 
@outputs 
@persist 
@trigger 

# assign number of controllers you want on the entity
P = p2mCreate(2, entity():pos(), entity():angles())

# push to the desired controller index
P:p2mSetColor(1, vec(255, 0, 0))
P:p2mPushModel(1, "models/props_borealis/bluebarrel001.mdl", vec(), ang())
P:p2mPushModel(1, "models/props_borealis/bluebarrel001.mdl", vec(55,0,0), ang())

#
P:p2mSetColor(2, vec(0, 255, 0))
P:p2mPushModel(2, "models/props_borealis/mooring_cleat01.mdl", vec(0,0,50), ang(45,0,0))

# build
P:p2mBuild()
