Persistent tool

Description
This tool is a more simple and faster version to persistent props (save entities to map).
Before you had to hold C, right click a prop and press "Make persistent" but now you can take the tool and fire on all the props you want persisted!
The sbox_persist console varible needs to be set to 1 for this to work.

It also got a custom tool screen that displays the state of the prop you are looking at with a icon:
Tick = Prop is persisted
Cross = Prop is not persisted
Questionmark = You are not looking at prop

How to use:
Primary: Start persisting
Secondary: Stop persisting
Reload: Toggle persisting

WARNING: When you take out the tool for the first time you start or join a game you will get an error, this error is meant to happen, it is needed to fix a rendering bug, if I did not have this error the icons would not be displayed.

If you dont want everybody to be able to use it, you should get a admin mod that allows disabling of tools.

Hey, Sokol Kozlov - THANK YOU!!!!! I had no idea why after all this time of me not playing GMod much, that I didn't have the option anymore. So I had subscribed to this addon to try and get it back. Tonight though, the addon isn't working for me. So I came here, and I saw your comment. And it worked! Thank you bro!! Now to add that to my autoexec. :D

How can I save furnitures's persistence when I load the game?

Persistance has NOT BEEN REMOVED from the game and this tool still in fact works! In order to get it back, all you have to do is type "sbox_persist 1" into the console. For some god forsaken reason, in a recent update, the value has been set to 0 possibly by mistake. I see a lot of people complaining that the option was straight up removed so I wanted to let everyone know that it is not true and is still in the game.

This tool isn't working anymore. In sbox_persist file 0 (One that I need to be in so that saves load with persistence and don't lose it on props n' such) disables the tool completely, as while the tool says that the prop has persistence. It doesn't.

Please. Fix this. This is a very useful tool and no other alternatives exist on the workshop to my knowledge.
