Pictionary Box (Gamemode)

What is Pictionary Box?
Pictionary Box is, as the name suggests, a pictionary gamemode for Garry's Mod, currently on the fretta base. There are two teams, The Guessers and The Artist. As the latter, you are given a phys gun and can access a menu to spawn props by pressing shift. You are given a word and must build a scene based around it, which The Guessers, as you can probably guess, must figure out what it is. They submit their answers by typing in chat. If the word was 'dog', you'd press Y and type it. Simple as! This was initially a project for my Fretta Minigames server but I thought I'd learn more if I attempted to make something that would be made public. This workshop addon comes with a map, the gamemode including a config file, fretta13 (converted by JetBoom) and lastly, a simple autorun/lua file allowing the users to change their character player model via the fretta menu.

Pointshop support?
This gamemode comes with completely optional support for _Undefined's Pointshop. For example, if you plan to use the pointshop and enable it in the config, The Guesser will get points for winning and The Artist will too for having their word guessed. As well as this, you can choose how much hints cost. If you don't want to use the Pointshop, that's fine too. The gamemode will use frags/in-game points instead.

What's modifiable/in the config file?

• Whether voice-chat is enabled during rounds
  
• The colour of the speech bubble on the HUD along with the text
  
• Points for winning, how much hints cost and the number of hints allowed per round
  
• The amount of props The Artist can spawn
  
• The models/props that The Artist can spawn
  
• The Pictionary words

Since this is a public addon, can't people look at the words list and cheat?
That I'm aware of, and it's why the list of words included in this Workshop pack is kind of small. If you're interested in hosting a server for this, I encourage you to use your own list of words, maybe even create a theme, to keep things fresh and unique. I've personally created two lists of words; one to use in this pack and another for myself.

I've found a bug, issue or have a suggestion!
While I can't stop you from commenting on this Workshop addon with your issue, I would much prefer it if you contacted me via our Minigames forums since I'm quite a busy person and it's easier to keep up with:

What maps does this work with?
Any with info_player_counterterrorist and info_player_terrorist spawns, although I imagine it would get a bit irritating to have maps where The Guessers can get right up into the face of the person building. This so far comes with one map called pictionary_simple, which is shown in the screenshots.

Quick notes
Thank you very much to my community's developer Sgtpanda, who helped out with A LOT of stuff and explained anything I didn't understand, such as the net library and GetGlobalString stuff. As well as this, before Pictionary Box was uploaded to the workshop, he went through all the code I had written and told me how to do things better and re-wrote some of what I'd written. Couldn't have done it with him, even though most of our conversations are in angry capslock.
