Permapoly Weld and Prop Shrinker

Improvements
This tool is an awesome proof-of-concept but is rough around the edges. As a programmer and GMod addict, I want to help improve this thing.

For the Perma Poly Weld, my proposed improvements are:
  • On fire, have it select individual props to join rather than everything connected to the selected prop. This fixes problems with parented props, such as wiremod gates. Clicking on a selected prop will deselect it.
  • On shift+fire, select the targeted prop and all props connected to it.
  • On weld, make note of all unselected props that're parented or welded to a selected prop. Once the props have been welded together, re-apply the constraints to the new poly.

The first two I can make quite trivially; modifying the code to accomplish this isn't difficult. The third isn't as easy but still something I can do without much trouble.

Now, I am requesting permission to extract the gmad archive, modify the script, and publish this to the GMod workshop. I will of course label CmdrMatthew as the original owner and creator.

If I obtain permission to make these modifications, then I will be accepting suggestions for future improvements.

I'm not entirely sure the publisher of this is the actual creator. I for one would love to see more work done on this, both to fix bugs and make it more stable. I'd say "go for it" and credit the author regardless. (Going by the fact this hasn't been updated and comments haven't been read in forever. I don't think the publisher cares. You can always take the addon down later if he asks you too.)
