the new version of SE introduce the Skins, but the paint gun can't use the skin, can you update the paint gun for the skins?

Problem with that is they didn't expose anything that allows me to read/set player's skin selection from the color picker menu.

I would have to add an independent skin selection thing that I would also have to somehow explain to players that it's not synchronized with the color picker menu like the color palette is...

And then I also have no way of knowing which skins the player owns so I don't include the ones they don't own in the selection for then to not work.

What I can do is change the skin of blocks, but everything else is the problem.

Could you create a separate gun called the "skin gun"? :steamhappy:

Here's the solution:

. Press P to open the menu (select 0 as your tool). :cozyspaceengineersb: - Should look like this
. Select the skin you want to use
. Get a block from the toolbar and press MMB on your mouse when the desired object is green.
. The object should change to the selected skin.

Well I've added the ability to use skins with a warning text in the color picker UI of which things aren't sync'd.
