Make Spherical

Description
Make Spherical gives most* entities perfectly spherical collisions that don't bounce when rolling or clip through the ground at high speeds like normal triangle-based collision meshes (meaning that it's perfect for wheels!). Simply left click on an entity to give it spherical collisions with the radius based upon the entity's size, or right click to set a custom radius. Hitting the reload key will remove all of Make Spherical's effects on the entity.
You can also set where the center of the sphere is relative to the entity's origin using the sliders, or check a box to make sure that the entity is always centered in the sphere.

If you like this addon, rate it and follow me on workshop!

@MJ @Summer i did actually try modifying the addon's source to make that change, because even an oblong sphere would be better for wheels than make spherical, but it only changes the bounding box size, not the actual sphere, since the (radius, radius, radius) thing is present in
ent:SetCollisionBounds, which only sets the bounding box, not the actual sphere collision
the sphere collision is set with ent:PhysicsInitSphere, which only takes a single number for it's radius, so no way of making oblong spheres either sadly.

Is this compatible with dupes/saves?

any possible way to flatten the sphere to make an oblate spheroid?

i thought this would stretch the textures so the prop you used it on would become a ball. my bad for not reading the descripton lol

Honestly I'd forgotten I'd merged a fix - didn't have access to a PC with gmod to test it out for ages. Will do soon
