Persistent tool

Description
This tool is a more simple and faster version to persistent props (save entities to map).
Before you had to hold C, right click a prop and press "Make persistent" but now you can take the tool and fire on all the props you want persisted!
The sbox_persist console varible needs to be set to 1 for this to work.

It also got a custom tool screen that displays the state of the prop you are looking at with a icon:
Tick = Prop is persisted
Cross = Prop is not persisted
Questionmark = You are not looking at prop

How to use:
Primary: Start persisting
Secondary: Stop persisting
Reload: Toggle persisting

WARNING: When you take out the tool for the first time you start or join a game you will get an error, this error is meant to happen, it is needed to fix a rendering bug, if I did not have this error the icons would not be displayed.

If you dont want everybody to be able to use it, you should get a admin mod that allows disabling of tools.

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

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

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.
