Tool transformer

A mod for modders. Helps you find the transform to set for your tool and a point on your tool you desire (eg end of the gun where the bullets should shoot from)

Press M in game to enable. The unit is toolvoxel (1 toolvoxel = 0.05 meters). You would set the transform in the tick() function as shown below.

Works well on normal modded tools. Does not work on special tools like the Physgun (it does not have a tool transform as far as I can see) and annoying to use with default tools (There's some extra code that adjust their transform over this)

If you run out of range with sliders press the recenter button. Can also increase the range in the settings (editing variables in main.lua)

The mod only shows the values for the transform but does not permanently save them anywhere. (you need to note the figures down)

Note: if you are already setting the transform of your tool in another script switch that off before using this. One will overwrite the other.

Use the config file to update the settings (eg units used / slider size)
You can use it to set the starting value to be a hard coded default transform.
You can use it to edit the shapelocal transform of an individual shape of the tool, rather than the whole tool tranfrom.


I may add extra features later
-letting you adjust the config values with a UI instead of using the config file
-2 different points to adjust on the tool
-a lot more intuitive control option (eg dragging a dot in 2D on screen to adjust position)
