Overview[]

The Painter is a mode for the Tool Gun that allows its user to apply a texture (Like an impact texture or a blood drop) to any surface or ragdoll.

Abilities and use[]

The Paint Tool is one of the easiest tools to manipulate, and has only one trigger (which is MOUSE1 by default) that paints the selected texture. You can also press MOUSE2 for a slower paint. Applied textures can only be removed from maps by using the console command r_cleardecals. However this will remove every texture applied. Any that are wanted will have to be reapplied.

Limits[]

  • It can only apply 15 textures to a prop or a ragdoll. In addition, you cannot paint a texture on another already painted texture.
