Tank Track Tool

Description
With tanks being such a popular thing to build in gmod, it is sad indeed to know that realistic tank tracks are nearly impossible. This tool aims to, mostly, solve that issue. Please post pictures so I can add them to the images!

Concept:
- Wheels are defined
- A spline is generated around these wheels
- Models are rendered around this spline
- An animated scrolling texture is dynamically scaled to fit these models
- Tank tracks!

Features:
- Easy to use; spawn, select wheels, edit with context menu, and go!
- A lot of options so far, and probably more in the future.
- 100% Clientside (apart from the networked editable options); no more laggy e2 tracks, or, god forbid, physical ones!

Credits:
- MrWhite; textures
- DatAmazingCheese; textures
- Metamist; icon
- Waxx; server testing
- Thebutheads; ideas
- Karbine; ideas

For best results, use with SProps!

It doesn't support ACF damage or anything but people use it a lot with contraptions that also use both of those addons.
