How do I persist a deleted object? I want an object to be deleted, and stay deleted, but when I load save it back

can anybody explain what this tool exactly does?

Hey, Sokol Kozlov - THANK YOU!!!!! I had no idea why after all this time of me not playing GMod much, that I didn't have the option anymore. So I had subscribed to this addon to try and get it back. Tonight though, the addon isn't working for me. So I came here, and I saw your comment. And it worked! Thank you bro!! Now to add that to my autoexec. :D

How can I save furnitures's persistence when I load the game?
jeffmc123101 9 Sep, 2023 @ 2:10am 
so wait, this forces props to always spawn or some?
Gangrelm 26 Jun, 2023 @ 9:11pm 
Very useful, Thx !
Shirt_stacker 24 Jan, 2023 @ 10:37am 
it works
Sokol Kozlov 24 Aug, 2022 @ 2:31pm 
Persistance has NOT BEEN REMOVED from the game and this tool still in fact works! In order to get it back, all you have to do is type "sbox_persist 1" into the console. For some god forsaken reason, in a recent update, the value has been set to 0 possibly by mistake. I see a lot of people complaining that the option was straight up removed so I wanted to let everyone know that it is not true and is still in the game.

no se por que dicen que no sirve, a mi me funciono
Crow's Eye View 19 Jun, 2022 @ 5:25am 
This tool isn't working anymore. In sbox_persist file 0 (One that I need to be in so that saves load with persistence and don't lose it on props n' such) disables the tool completely, as while the tool says that the prop has persistence. It doesn't.

Please. Fix this. This is a very useful tool and no other alternatives exist on the workshop to my knowledge.
VantaBlack 7 Apr, 2022 @ 3:08pm 
Its not working anymore. Can you fix it?
Juri Han 19 Mar, 2022 @ 8:07pm 
I thought it was removed by Garry. That dude be a dumbass for making it turned off by default.
Mick 17 Mar, 2022 @ 5:51pm 
Do "sbox_persist 1" that's what enables it for Holding C and the tool. I don't why it's off by default.
Juri Han 16 Mar, 2022 @ 11:31pm 
It looks like the tool's finally broken, because when I persist something, it still allows me to grab it. Please fix this.

When I select the Persistent tool I get the error message on my left but everything else is perfect, thank you very much ^u^
UCEY 10 Feb, 2021 @ 2:12pm 
It was gone. Now it's back. You are a hero
Rcmac206 14 Oct, 2020 @ 9:18pm 
I'm glad this was made since they removed the option. I loved using it.
Run 28 Sep, 2020 @ 11:41pm 
Works really well. I was a little bummed when they removed the Persistent option.

Look like it's me.

Who's here after "Make Persistent" got removed?
Oskardoggy 11 Jul, 2020 @ 10:11am 
I doesn't work for me and when I load the map in again I get an awful sound

@Lily McFluffy Butt You are a good person. Thank you for letting everyone know. Have a strawberry :celeste_strawberry:
Tark of the Wild 8 May, 2020 @ 4:06pm 
oh nvm i stupid as hell
Tark of the Wild 8 May, 2020 @ 4:06pm 
@lily I'm lazy and i aint doing that.
Lily McFluffy Butt 6 May, 2020 @ 2:54pm 
They did NOT remove "make persistent." You just have to re-enable it via the "Persistence Mode" bar at the top right of the map selection screen, by adding a 1 there.
n0rtezY 6 May, 2020 @ 6:30am 
thanks bro it really helped :steamhappy:
Psych-Chik 5 May, 2020 @ 10:01pm 
I don't understand why those idiotic fools removed "make persistent" from the context menu. Thank You for making this.
Notorious Drunk 3 May, 2020 @ 8:27am 
dude you saved me by making this mod after the latest update
Owl 2 May, 2020 @ 4:29am 
ay gg's man you changed the whole gmod after the update
✠ DFSpecter 1 May, 2020 @ 5:13pm 
Well they just removed the "make persistent" from the right-click menu, so now I'm using this whether I like it or not I guess.

Beats the crap out of having to deal with accidentally picking-stuff up with the phys-gun, now that that previous option is gone.

Does it work with scripted entities of the addons?
Blue 8 Nov, 2019 @ 11:01am

(Would be great if possible to multi-persist props welded together, if not have an area-persist which persists props in a configurable radius.)
eacochran 20 Feb, 2019 @ 2:11pm 
Does this save the props as persistent after a server restart? Or do you have to re-persist the props after a reboot?
Sanders 8 Feb, 2019 @ 1:14am 
ok so this just crashed my game no idea why and couldnt get the error as i crashed out . (as in full crash to desktop)
PancakeHumper 25 Jul, 2018 @ 5:16pm 
It's giving error everytime I pull it out even to admins.
IM A FOKEN LEGEND 24 Jul, 2018 @ 12:47pm 
I have the same issue with the PNG rendering , opened an issue here : https://github.com/Facepunch/garrysmod-issues/issues/3545
Architector #4 30 Mar, 2018 @ 6:08am 
...Wait, so "Make Persistent" makes props stay even after reload?!
I have over 1800 hours in Garry's Mod, yet only now I figure that out. ._.
Ludwig, Shadow Protogen 2 Oct, 2017 @ 5:59am 
Bug report: When I change the tool to this, it gives me an error on top-left but somehow there is no error at all.
Do you think you can remove the error message? This tool looks ok.
Ol' Capricorn 28 May, 2017 @ 4:18pm 
As for the guys asking, making a prop or ragdoll persistent is making them unmovable to the physgun. It's useful for not unfreezing and moving props by accident.
Ol' Capricorn 28 May, 2017 @ 4:10pm 
This made keeping set pieces stable while posing ragdolls a lot faster. Also, the tool showing if an entity is non-persistent, persistent, or a map brush/displacement is a very nice and helpful touch.
Rushin 9 Mar, 2017 @ 6:18pm 
what does making something persistent even do?
Albatroza 18 Feb, 2017 @ 1:48am 
nice this is working but im restart game and open save but i need restart persistent
noobly 20 Nov, 2016 @ 9:35pm 
Doesn't persist entities anymore. Please help.
Owl 15 Oct, 2016 @ 10:37pm 
todays does not do perma prop anymore what is going on? did they like change it
Sharks 14 Oct, 2016 @ 5:38pm 
The new G-Mod update sucks cock.
Zaku II (Alias WatcherZigzagoon) 10 Oct, 2016 @ 1:59pm 
I hope this thing helps with this new gmod update. Because I hate it.

[Persistent tool] lua/weapons/gmod_tool/stools/persistent.lua:76: This error was meant to happen, it fixes a rendering bug.
1. error - [C]:-1
2. DrawToolScreen - lua/weapons/gmod_tool/stools/persistent.lua:76
3. unknown - gamemodes/sandbox/entities/weapons/gmod_tool/cl_viewscreen.lua:69
Thomas  [author] 27 Apr, 2016 @ 3:36pm 
Like the error says and like I wrote in the description, that error is meant to happen. I made that error happen on purpose, because it is required to fix a bug. The tool still works even when you get the error.
I have tried find a better way to fix that bug, but I was unsuccessful and I don't work on this addon anymore.
Thomas  [author] 16 Oct, 2015 @ 9:06am 
It's possible but I don't really play or make addons in gmod anymore.
