How to respawn a solid entity (like destructables or pushables) in a specific place after the entity's death?

If you're mapping for HL2DM and you want a physics prop to respawn after breaking, then set it's class to prop_physics_respawnable.
If you're just mapping for HL2, then I'm not completely sure. I imagine it has something to do with func_brush and some logic entities.

Using _respawnable is a bit of a crapshoot, not all props are coded to function like that.

The proper way is to use this entity

can be used for any type of entity any number of times
