// Send proxies can be used to convert a variable into a networkable type 
// (a good example is converting an edict pointer into an integer index).

// These allow you to translate data. For example, if you had a user-entered 
// string number like "10" (call the variable pUserStr) and wanted to encode 
// it as an integer, you would use a SendPropInt32 and write a proxy that said:
// pOut->m_Int = atoi(pUserStr);

// pProp       : the SendProp that has the proxy
// pStructBase : the base structure (like CBaseEntity*).
// pData       : the address of the variable to proxy.
// pOut        : where to output the proxied value.
// iElement    : the element index if this data is part of an array (or 0 if not).
// objectID    : entity index for debugging purposes.

// Return false if you don't want the engine to register and send a delta to
// the clients for this property (regardless of whether it actually changed or not).
