<description>Example usage, adding this will allow mappers to set all your key networks as key values. You will also need to provide manually crafted `.fgd` file that lists all the key values. `env_skypaint` can be used as an example (`garrysmod.fgd` and `env_skypaint.lua` in base gamemode).</description>⤶
