Let engineer drop toolbox with building without its destroying #47

Description

@a584-droid

Description

While engineer hauling their building to reposition it, them might be trapped, bodyblocked and unable to place building to switch for weapons;

spy can kill trapped engineer or in a different scenario force them to place building and sap it to momentarily destroy, or spy uses Red-Tape Recorder and building instantly turns into toolbox.

This feature request aims to implement improved interaction with buildings and toolboxes.

Proposal for:

  1. Drop toolbox whenever player switches between weapons while hauling
  2. Pick up toolbox by pressing "h" (by default a key bind used for "use")
  3. Dropped toolboxes could be used as a metal/ammo crates by enemy engineers.
  4. Dropped toolboxes could be picked up and used to place a building they contain (e.g. third level sentry)
  5. Dropped toolboxes could be picked up by anyone from the team player is - if them chose other class

Screenshots

Alternatives

  1. Dropped toolboxes would have their own HP (i.e. affected by damage)
  2. Dropped toolboxes would have resistance to damage
  3. 0 HP toolboxes couldn't be used to place a building - only as a metal/ammo crate
