What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Based on recent issues with Entity limits, the Gestures SWEP may need to be removed, so I suggest merging the SWEP with the already existing Emotes system into a new System.
The previously gestures SWEP will now turn into a sub-menu of the Emotes menu titled: Toggles
This will allow reducing the entity count AND provide a more flexible use of some weapons. These toggles will follow the same rules as what the SWEP had (aka, they cannot be enabled while moving, etc.), but there will also be new rules:
-Toggles will temporarily be disabled if a weapon is being held
-Toggles will also be temporarily disabled if a SWEP/weapon was to be used (such as the Reality Bending Swep)
-Anything that holds an item will temporarily disable Toggles as well.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
I'm pretty sure no, as I'm making this after the announcement.
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
1. Reduce entities
2. Allows using some SWEPs while having a toggle active
3. More Flexible use of toggles.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
1. Possible slower reactions (mostly redundant)
2. Development time with modifying the menu (goes with anything really)
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
This will provide the best of both worlds: Fewer entities, keep the functions of the SWEP, and flexibility.
