Clientside augmentation to "Materials" tool that lets you grab materials from props

[Kavukamari]

I was wondering if it were possible to make a modification of the materials tool that lets you grab a material from a prop and apply it to a different prop.

I was hoping that it would work clientside because that way the server wouldn't have to have it, but I'm assuming that it MIGHT not be possible.

If it's not clear what I'm hoping for, Imagine ripping a material from the Hunter Chopper and applying it to a shipping container or something, or ripping the shipping container texture and applying it to a barrel. that is what I would want this tool to do.

If it's impossible to do clientside and as a modification to the existing tool, then it would still be nice to have it as a separate shared tool.

Please and Thank You :P

Dunno if I should bump my own thread, but...

Model textures are usually specifically wrapped for that model only so they actually look bad on another one. Thats why material tool only (mostly?) has brush textures.

You can use these

Entity:GetMaterial()
Entity:SetMaterial( "material here" )

Should help somewhat?
