Redspeeds Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 What are you suggesting? - Im suggesting we should be giving a toolgun to the research department and the tech department How would this change better the server? - This would allow research and tech to build beter things for RP purposes. For example precision could be used to align the props beter and the bodygroup editor would be used to change properties like screens on sci-fi props and a few others. Are there any disadvantages of making this change to the server? If so, explain. - The only disadvantage i can think of is that it might be abused. My solution to this would be to restrict the toolgun to only Senior Research and Senior Tech Who would this change mostly benefit? - Technicians and Researchers Please link any workshop content, screenshots, or anything that you think may be helpful to those who view this suggestion - N/A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 +/-Support While I do agree that a Toolgun may benefit roleplaying scenarios, I believe that they should be given at a certain rank in these branches (such as Experienced Researcher+). I believe that there will also need to be a system to remove a certain person's toolgun if it is abused. I think that we should give it a shot though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack (utility one) Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 +/- support I know it can be edited to make certain things unable to be placed down. But I sadly forgot how to do such a thing but hopefully SMT know how. If so I think it could be given to HCMD and maybe even LCMD since I think they are trustworthy. Anything under is a no from me. I think this would be very nice but again, it is easy to abuse but again it could also be edited, either way it would be nice to have (espacially if LCMD get it and not just HCMD).

Crabbo Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 The only way this could be implemented and not be abused is if you only gave it to techs a pre-defined rank, This could just be done by giving senior technical job or technical command jobs have a toolgun. +/- Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniLeopard Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 -Support Just ask staff but they should have the grav gun, that would be cool The United Kingdom, made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, is an island nation in north-western Europe. England – birthplace of Shakespeare and The Beatles – is home to the capital, London, a globally influential centre of finance and culture.

Gunther Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) -/+Support If it were given to higher ranked people, then I'd support it. Also, how could it be abused? Could you not just set up the toolgun to only have access to certain features, the same way only JMT+ can world prop stuff, or how only Event Team can spawn weapons and stuff?

GLaDOS Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 See at the moment this doesn't really seem like a problem that needs fixing. It just feels like a suggestion to make SMT work more, I feel like it could work if they're up for it. But the toolgun is a very powerful item, its not far off to say that this literally can control 80% of garrysmods assets. This could be easily abused but I see it being really nice not to have to call a staff member everytime you want a prop to look different. I'd say it's really just up to SMT if they want to put that work in for this, however Im also going to say that it really isnt a need per say, its more of a want. "If it aint broke, dont fix it."
