The Tool Gun is an important piece of Garry's Mod. It allows Players to manipulate a variety of functions to create different things. The gun itself looks like a revolver with lots of technical wiring and a screen on the back, displaying the tool being used.

ToolsEdit

The Tool Gun comes with many tools by default. Many of these perform basic functions.

Tool Guns tools can be added from the server host!

The axis tool creates a point on which an object will rotate.

Ball socket ToolEdit

The Ball Socket tool lives up to its name: It creates ball-and-socket joints on which an object can pivot and rotate in any direction.

Balloon ToolEdit

Attaches floating balloons to all kinds of objects. The upward force of a balloon can be altered. The balloons themselves used to be watermelons that had been altered to fall upwards, i.e. as if they were filled with helium. As of GMod 9, the watermelons have shiny, flat color textures to appear as balloons, as opposed to previous versions where they were merely watermelons with different colors. in Garry's Mod 10, a proper balloon model will be used instead of re-textured and recolored watermelons.

Thruster ToolEdit

Attaches thrusters that can be controlled by the number-pad. They are essential in the function of flying contraptions and applications where land vehicles are simply not efficient with wheels.

Wheel ToolEdit

Attaches rotating wheels to anything. Once applied, the player can control the direction and speed of the wheels. There are many different types of wheels, ranging from actual car tires to saw-blades and barrels.

Color ToolEdit

Allows players to change the colors of objects using RGB sliders.

Material ToolEdit

Changes the textures of objects. Can be used in conjunction with the Color Gun.

Magnet ToolEdit

Converts ordinary objects, regardless of their materials, into magnets which attach to any object or ragdoll. This tool also has a few interesting side effects, such as making breakable props unbreakable, removing all constraints from a prop and unfreezing frozen props when used. The magnetism can be altered via a slider. Note that the magnet does not attract objects.

Dynamite ToolEdit

Creates infinitely reusable, remote explosives that can be set off with a button on the numpad. These have many uses, including cannons and traps.
