Ammo Dropper

Description
Introduction
Ammo Dropper is a simple addon that allows you to turn ammo on your player into ammo entities that others can pick up. I have absolutely no idea why this did not exist beforehand, so I did it for myself.

How to use:
Type ad_menu in console. Then, a menu should pop up, displaying whatever ammo you have. Choose your ammo, set how many boxes you want to drop then click the drop button.

Type in console bind (KEY) ad_menu to easily access the menu.

You can also use ConCommands ad_quickdrop and ad_quickdrop_all to quickly drop ammo for the weapon you are holding. Great if you want to share bullets in a fight.

In the options section of the Q menu, you can enable additional types of ammo entities, as well as tweak ConVars to change specific behaviors of the addon.

Features:

Drop ammo on death:
Stop bullets from vanishing the instant you drop dead. Enabling this feature allows any player to drop all their ammo when they die. You can tweak how many boxes can be dropped, as well as when they disappear.

Use-only ammo entities:
Custom ammo entities that imitate default HL2 ammo types have been created by request. They can only be picked up when used. You can choose to drop these entities instead of default ones in the options menu.

Make ammunition use-only!
Not only does this addon include use-only ammo entities, you also have the option to replace EVERY ammo entity created with it!
Note: Forced replacing creates a different entity, and may not work with some addons.

If you enjoyed this addon, rate it up so others can see it too! If you dislike, please comment and I'll try my best to improve.

Hello, I want to praise for this addon! But I still got a problem. I've looked at the lua files but haven't found anything related to the server command. I want to ask, does this addon support a command for the server? I'm not interested in the menu, but here I would like to throw out ammunition after death and with the help of the command

It'd be great if you could get CW support.

Super underrated really well done Addon. great work but I have one question. IK that changing to darkrp boxes lets you drop any random amount of ammo instead of the set 45 for SMG1. But is there any way to make the darkrp box look like the HL2 supply box? that would look alot cooler.

Would it be possible to condense the ammo boxes that spray out of the player in all directions into a single entity? Like a backpack that gets dropped by the player containing all their ammo?
