Oldschool Ammo & Supply

Simple tool for creating oldschool regenerating ammo boxes / health packs. It's inspired by Quake, Half-Life Deathmatch: Source, Team Fortress 2.

Go to the Tools menu and click the Oldschool Ammo Tool under the Jakub Baku tab.
You can select a "Loadout box" preset as an example.

• Left click with the tool to place an ammo box
  
• Right click with the tool at a prop to retrieve it's model
  
• Reload the tool aiming below the ammo box to remove it

Model selection: select a model for the ammo box or pick a model using the right click on the prop,
Supply type: what does the ammo box do on pickup

• ammo supply - supplies the ammo,
  
• health supply - supplies the health, works like a medkit,
  
• suit supply - supplies the suit power, works like a suit battery.

Regen time: delay between the pickup and ammo box being active again,
Ammo type: type of ammo to be supplied, only if the Supply type is set to "ammo supply", can be set to none
Weapon type: weapon given on pickup, can be set to none
Count: affects the quantity of health, ammo and suit power given on pickup,

Spin Speed: how fast should the item spin,
Z Offset: controls the height above the ground of the item,
Static: if checked the item will behave as normal prop, will not rotate,
Multi-pack: allows to further customize the ammo box, add multiple items and even spawn NPCs!

Example multi-pack:

Syntax is dead simple - first goes the type and then parameters.
Here's the list (type, parameters):

• ammo 'type' 'quantity'
  gives a quantity of specified ammo. You can find ammo types here[wiki.facepunch.com]
  
• item 'class'
  spawns an item of specified class. Great for giving player a pickupable weapons but can be used to spawn a live grenade or Zombie :P
  
• health 'amount'
  heals player by specified amount
  
• suit 'amount'
  powers the player's suit by specified amount

Although the default Garry's Mod's saves works on ammo boxes I've implemented my own way of saving and loading the ammo boxes.

Place some ammo boxes around and when you want to save your work just go to the tool options (or hold "C"), click the "Save" button and you should see a notification. Press "Load" to load the previously saved layout. You can have multiple saves per map by changing the "Save name". The default is "save001" but it can be anything you want.

Saves are located in the garrysmod/data directory as *mapname*_hldsammotool_*savename*.txt and are compressed JSON files. "hldsammotool" postfix stands for "Half Life Deathmatch: Source Ammo Tool" which was a first name of the tool.
