Weapon Pedestal - Automatic weapon spawner

Description
Adds weapon pedestals (essentially weapon spawn platforms), which automatically spawn and give players a weapon, when walked into. The weapon respawns when the owner of the previous one is killed. Useful for Deathmatch-style PvP.
Weapon pedestals can be placed and removed using the Weapon Pedestal tool.

Basic usage:
1. Select tool Weapon Pedestal under category Weapon Pedestal.
2. Enter weapon class (can be gotten for any weapon in spawnmenu using right click -> copy to clipboard) or press "Take from held" to copy class from currently held weapon.
3. Press on the ground to place a weapon pedestal.
4. Walk into weapon pedestal to get the weapon. The pedestal will turn the color of the player (The one specified in the C menu) and will no longer show the spinning weapon on top.
5. Once the weapon has been taken, it cannot be taken again until the owner of the current weapon dies or otherwise destroys the weapon. Dropping the weapon does not return it to the pedestal.

The addon also comes with a few console commands to save and load weapon pedestal configurations:

weaponpedestal_save <savename> - Save pedestal configuration with the name specified by <savename>. The configurations are saved per map.

weaponpedestal_load <savename> - Load pedestal configuration with the name specified by <savename>. Note that this will remove existing pedestals.

i wish there was one like when you pick the weapon up, it re-spawns instantly

this is great, but is there any way to make the base of the spawner something either than a sawblade?

could you make this work with pickups like health and ammo?

can't move it, can't duplicate, can't overwrite, breaks on save load.

@Lana the Lquor Gynoid I'm pretty sure there's a model changer tool somewhere out there. That can help you.
