Better Prop Placement

Description
What is this?
A building helper for Garry’s Mod. It allows you to preview props before actually spawning them, with full rotation, collision checking and optional auto-freeze

Features
  • Real-time preview for props
  • Supports props, ragdolls, and entities
  • Full all-axis movement support (X, Y, Z)
  • Precise rotation support (yaw, pitch, roll) using quaternions
  • Prop scaling
  • Auto-freeze toggle to freeze spawned objects immediately
  • Auto-weld toggle to weld a prop to another prop you are looking at
  • Toggleable collision checking to prevent overlapping or invalid placements

You can disable it using the console command:
sv_bpp_enable 0

NOTICE: This addon was tested with vanilla props as well as some from C:SS and TF2; it was working fine. However if you have custom props with bad collision bounding boxes you may encounter issues with placement

Yes i will eventually add client-side control. Whats there now was a last minute addition to have at least some control and since server cvars were the fastest option i used them

Possible to add the convar clientside for toggling it per-player for multiplayer servers? Otherwise it has to be enabled/disabled for everyone.

I just checked now, where there were zero addons, only your one addon. While the addon is running in single-player mode, it works perfectly as it should, but if you launch multiplayer, the scaling doesn't work or breaks without errors. You can check it yourself. Just start the game in multiplayer mode, for example, with 8 players, and you will see that the scaling breaks.

There were no errors on my end or on the server, but I expected the add-on to work stably in multiplayer mode.

Weird it works perfectly fine on my end. Did you get any errors? Maybe try disabling every other addon and leaving only mine enabled
