Weld-Smart Tool Rework

Title of Suggestion: Weld-Smart Tool Rework

Description:
I have reworked the Weld - Smart tool to operate much more efficiently. It is now focused more on welding builds together with the purpose of saving them as dupes, as opposed to the focus of the old tool - to weld every prop with every other prop in attempt to make the welds more rigid (which simply lagged the server and wouldn't offer much improvement over a single weld anyway).

Here is a video presentation with both the old and new version of the tool being used to weld together 40 and 200 props:

Here is a chart that compares how many welds are created by the old and new smart weld tool:

Tool modes:

• 'props and world' - welds together props and a specific amount of them to the world;
  
• 'world' - welds selected props to the world.
  

The welding process:

1. The selected props are frozen;
   
2. The selected props are cleared of any and all constraints that they may have, which includes welds, hydraulics, elastics and so on;
   
3. If 'props and world' mode is selected:
   
   1. All selected props are welded to a single one, ensuring that the amount of prop-to-prop welds does not exceed n - 1 where n is the number of props;
      
   2. A random series of props is welded to the world defined by a percentage in the script configuration. (this is to prevent welding props together, unfreezing them and wrecking havoc).
      
4. If 'world' mode is selected:
   
   1. All selected props are welded to the world, but not together.
      

Why:

1. Building is fun, welding props one by one in order to save your build is not;
   
2. An optimal number of welds means better server performance.
