Alllow players to 'whitelist' other players to manipulate their props with tool guns and phys guns temporarily.

The suggestion is simple in concept but may be a bit of back end coding as I am not sure if there is an existing add on, but I saw a similar system on an existing gmod server (although I believe it was developed by that server network). 

From my limited knowledge it is already base settings that players can manipulate others props, and this can be stopped by specific servers. 

 

My suggestion (if possible) is to design a system that allows a player to do the above by a C menu option or something with two party consent so people can't be trolled. This should terminate on disconnect, manually via Q menu, or char swap.

Each player should be able to manipulate each others props with all tools available while partner up. 

The reason I suggest this is many times, especially for more extensive dupes, it would be nice to build with 2 people but the limitations of that currently creates a larger headache than it would be worth. The constant need to keep track of which prop is who's and asking for them to manipulate their props makes current multiparty building not fun. 

If I am able to find a workshop add on that allows this system I will edit it in but my current research failed to do so. Not sure if it's possible by just adjusting server settings or if coding would be required as I am unaware of that technical side. Just wanted to throw this suggestion up as a possibility.

Just have all of your friends apply for staff, much easier.

Thank you for this valid realistic suggestion. I will pass this along to them.
