"Reload" with the tool gun clears currently selected prop.

[Sgt. Napalm]

I think that pressing the "reload" button with tool gun out will clear any props that are currently selected. For instance, if I am using the Easy Weld tool or the Motor Tool and I select the first prop, but I accidentally selected it at the wrong spot, hitting reload would cancel the first action. This way I won't need to weld the prop somewhere else, undo the weld, and then bring it back to my work place. This makes making fine adjustments easier to do in situations where smart snap wouldn't work.

(Also, when I say selection, I don't mean any settings made to the tool, I mean the prop it's working with.)

Thoughts?

Can't you just hit undo.

Also you can't hit undo because that would not clear the "select" action, it would just delete the previous action. (Prop spawned, Weld created, et cetera.)
The prop would still remained ghosted, or it would be deleted.

Thank you, it does help I normally post on a phone which has no code support let alone Flash 4.

@SGTNAPALM i agree, but i usually switch tools, but that doesn't always work.

Edit: also you might have to take into account the specific tool's action for reload.

This would go in lua requests, as all the tools in GMod are lua. This wouldn't really be hard to implement I think, I would do it, but I really doubt it would be used much or appreciated so much.

An alternative way to clear it, for most tools anyway, would be to just switch to another weapon and then back to the tool gun. This is still a great idea though.
