Advanced Toolgun

[Zensras]

Name: Zen 

RP Rank: CPT

Suggestion:     Add Advanced Toolgun.   Adds a second screen to the base toolgun model for swapping tools without having to run to the Q menu.   You can set favorites within it's menu.     A minor addition but with some great potential to help our GMs in the long run with building.   Currently not sure about the performance hit for people with weaker hardware,  but should be minor.    Needs to be cleared security wise just incase due to this being from a Russian developer.

Implementation:
 As mentioned before,  This can be benefitable to dupe makers and GMs.

-1 This addon seems to be getting some bugs reported, and with how new it is I think it would be wise to wait a bit for them to get ironed out / discovered before adding it to Synergy. Although that would of course be a part of the Suggestion process by the developer team, I think also that this tool would add an extra level of confusion to people who are new to GMing. Also, I don't think this tool necessarily saves that much time versus just clicking on the tool in Q menu, especially when using tools that have any configuration needed in the Q menu.

GMs can also bind tools to a button on their keyboard too for more used ones. 

1. Select tool you want and enter this into console: 

   gmod_toolmode

   It will print out the name of the tool.

2. Create a bind to that tool:

   bind key "gmod_toolmode toolname"

This would be a bit more work in initial setup and need some more keys than using the menu you suggested though.

I like this, but I'd personally wait a bit to see if some of the bugs are worked on. Since this is a new addition to the shop that is actively being worked on hopefully after a couple updates the bugs shrimp mentioned will be resolved. +1 for the idea however just might now work as is right now.
