    Spacing=5
    
    #The Model Directory of the spinning circle in the center that spins the text screen.

    Setup:
    Navigate in your Q menu to the 'Construction' tab under tools. Then
    find the toolgun at the top, named '3D2D Textscreen'. Select it,
    then edit whatever you'd like to spin. Once you are satisfied with
    your text screen, place it on a wall as close to where you plan to put the e2.
    Then Switch back to your expression 2 gun and place down this e2. It will search
    for the closest prop with the model directory of "Model". If it can't find one
    closer than 100 units it will create it's own. The Sign will then be teleported 
    and parented to the ball/e2.
    
    After Setup:
    If you would like to adjust the sign so that it is farther away or at a
    a different angle then all you have to do is physgun the text screen
    while it is rotating.
    
    If you would like to move the sign itself you can just move the E2 chip itself
    using your physgun. The parent prop and the text screen will move with it.
