⛏️ Mining, mining area, Ores, etc.

This is an example of how to use it if you want to create a mining system on your server, take a standard rock model at random, place it, from the menu configure the entities that can be found in it and their rarity rate, add a weapon that only they can extract resources from, for example a pickaxe. Players will only be able to use the pickaxe to obtain loot.

Since you have the ability to create whatever you want, you can create things to hit that loot various minerals with this same script. So make it a mining system.

If you are looking for a resale system Gmod Items Dealer - Sell and Buy will do the job very well in a complete and optimized way. With Gmod Items Dealer place a merchant nearby who can buy back your ores.

⚡ Optimizations

The destruction animations don't throw debris and props all over the place when destroying them alarming the net_graph of your gmod server. The system is designed to simply play a destruction animation on the client side only. Objects that appear after destruction spawn directly on the ground, so the net doesn't handle moving objects minimizing your server's network usage without causing any stress.

❓ What kind of need can Editable Gmod resource container system meet?

You are looking to create resource mining area, for example stone and metals only accessible with specific tools.
You want your users to be able to get wood by chopping down a tree with an axe.
You want to create destructable scenery that can drop more or less rare items that you define in a clean and intuitive interface.
Display nicely the life bar of the destructible entities you are looking at.

Once you have created your destructible container bases in the left part of the interface and the loots of each base in the right part.
Place your props and convert them from the interface. The props of the same models will be removed and replaced by the destructible entity in the configuration that you will have made. Whether it's trees to be chopped down with an axe, rocks to be mined with a pickaxe, or crates to be destroyed with any weapon, this one script will allow you to do several things at once.
