/Tool Command

Description
Sometimes a chat command is just faster.



This is a tiny addon that allows players to type '/tool <name>' into chat to automatically search for and equip toolgun modes.

So '/tool weld' gives you the weld tool, and '/tool e2' gives the Expression 2 tool.
Typing out the whole name isn't necessary as it will automatically search for the closest match.
I also added in a couple of aliases so things like 'e2' and 'dupe' give the correct tools.

The usefulness of this command increases the more tools you have, perfect for build servers with a million different tool addons. It even lets you equip the secret toolgun modes!

A small chat popup occurs when a player first equips the toolgun to let them know the addon exists and how to use it, but it only happens once per game.

Well could be useful for others,but as an old builder ive been getting tools from the menu alot,and i think its a little bit faster with the menu if your very used to it.

It came in pretty handy when I was running a sandbox build server with a lot of tools, but I understand it's not going to be as useful for everyone.
