<cat>Dev.Map</cat>⤶ This page describes a few hidden tricks map makers can use to affect interactions of Sandbox features with the map.⤶ ⤶ # Preventing tools from being used on certain entities ⤶ ⤶ You can use the **gmod_allowtools** property on any entity in your map to allow only certain tools to affect the entity.⤶ ⤶ The format for the value is a list of **tool class names** separated by a single space character. The **tool class name** is the file name of the tool inside the **garrysmod/gamemodes/sandbox/entities/weapons/gmod_tool/tools/** excluding the .lua file extension. It will also work with addons.⤶ ⤶ For example setting it to the following value:⤶ ⤶ ```⤶ colour button balloon light lamp dynamite thruster paint⤶ ```⤶ ⤶ ⤶ Will only allow **Color, Button, Balloon, Light, Lamp, Dynamite, Thruster** and **Paint** Tools to be used on that entity.⤶ This is what the "Color Room" in sandbox does.⤶ ⤶ Leaving the field empty will disallow all tools from being used on the entity.⤶ ⤶ This field also affects the "Hold C for Context Menu and right click on the entity" feature.⤶ ⤶ # Preventing Physics Gun from being used on certain entities ⤶ ⤶ Similarly you can use **gmod_allowphysgun** on any entity to prevent the Physics Gun from being able to pick that entity up.⤶ ⤶ The only possible value here is 0 to disallow Physics Gun from interacting with the entity. Any other value will count as allowed.⤶ ⤶ # Adding these properties ⤶ ⤶ To add or edit any of these properties, you must disable the **Smart Edit** option in your **Object Properties** and manually add or edit the desired property.⤶ ⤶ Here's an example - gm_construct's Color Room settings:⤶ ⤶ ⤶
