Point Tool Repair
PointTool Repair will repair Structures, Barricades, and Vehicles to full health. With vehicles, right-clicking will also repair all tires, while left-clicking will only repair the tire you are looking at.
Point Tool CheckOwner
PointTool CheckOwner will tell you the owner of any barricade, structure, or locked vehicle, along with the owner's group.
Point Tool with Binoculars
You can now you point tool with binoculars, previously you could only use point tool while not holding anything.
Though, with binoculars, only left click point tools will work, as right click is reserved for zooming in.
This will allow staff to execute point tools with more precision and from a significantly further distance. Since the range on point tools normally are limited to prevent accidental damage or unintended use, the range has been significantly increased for all tools while using binoculars.
PlaceObject
The new Place Object command will allow you to place a barricade or structure without needing the item or even being able to place objects there.
It is especially useful when flying in the air, where you're away from anything you can place objects off of. Or in safe zones/no build zones, where you would have had to previously place the object outside the area, and build mode it in from a distance.
Objects placed with this tool, are owned by the player running the command, and said player's group.
Ascend, Descend, and Clear Inventory
The Ascend, Descend, and ClearInventory commands were added to replace the same commands from uEssentials. As most server owners will know, uEssentials causes significant lag on servers it runs. So there have been efforts as of late to replace it's functionality,
The main plugin to replace it has been NewEssentials on OpenMod, however not all server owners want to also run OpenMod for whatever reason, so I've been making an effort of reimplementing it's admin commands in this plugin.
