build_plaza_v2

There's a genre of "sandbox" or "build" maps for HL2DM. They generally feature a big open space and several buttons, each which spawns a certain type of prop. The intent is that you spawn props and freeze them in various configurations to make a fort or a building or house or some such, for no reason other than the sake of building something. Unfortunately there's no "freeze" command in HL2DM, so to run a build map normally you need to run either a custom mod with a freeze command or you need to leave cheats on (which usually leads to frequent server crashes). This is the creator's attempt at making a build map that doesn't require either. It allows players to freeze and unfreeze props by pressing the same key they use for opening doors and activating switches. It's also got several devices to assist the building process such as paintbrushes and scaffolding fields and object deleters and whatnot. There are also some toys hidden in the sky as an incentive for people to build pathways to reach them.
