"My camera doesn't work" How to fix
It seems that when you spawn a camera either from a saved world or from the menu, the camera bind doesn't seem to ever work. I played with the menus for a second to find a fix for it.

Step 1: Spawn all other entities with the spawn button under the load menu.

Step 2: Spawn a camera that you need with a toolgun. Location doesn't matter

Step 3: Right click the camera within the SMH menu to highlight it green

Step 4: Open the Load menu and load the camera.mdl

Step 5: Camera work baby. The camera will keep the location you spawned it till you move to a new Frame

Note: This may work with other Garry's Mod tools that need binds; Thrusters, wheels, etc. but I haven't tested it

My guess for this issue is because the "World" spawns in the entity so it isn't actually yours but I don't have any evidence for it.

Hope this helps anyone else

smh spawning doesn't really setup any of the entity specific stuff like binds or settings that are not controlled by SMH modifiers, as it doesn't call some of the setup functions of entities that it spawns, hence why it is better to load animations on existing entities, whereas spawning would allow to move animation somewhere else if needed, and then it could be saved and loaded onto enities with more stuff set on them, like bonemerged things or materials
