A safe spray system

[Alex Casey]

I feel an alternative way of handling this is to rather have 30-40 small images of various simple logos in the addon created that are affected by your player color set in C menu in sandbox, and recoding the spray key to set whichever icon you've selected on the area where-ever on the map. This leaves 663,255,000 available combinations of icon and color without a major amount of textures on the server!

There are addons available that can track who sprays where for staff to see if someone accidentally sprays somewhere and can clear the spray, or can ask the player to remove it themselves.

i know spray mesh was an addon that allowed gifs even but as we know this community prob shouldn't be trusted with that kinda power tbh, just two seconds of scrolling through some community memes. it's not always a good look. If they can use a check player system for the sprays it might help groups if they wanna regulate who sprays what, however i don't feel that would be needed with a shape system. Hell even if there's only 10 things in each cataglory that's plenty of combos not even counting the colors which could just use the same color UI system as other things anyway.

Oh I'm definitely not saying to allow custom sprays. I'm just saying there is code we can modify for default gmod to give an option to select between 40 logos to put down in any color you want on a color wheel, and input RGB.

The second part was about we can use those addons that track sprays on like prop hunt, and change the code to detect who set logos down, in case people are improperly using them. it can be a thing in the f4 menu that applies it to the closest wall only (its harder to make these attach to props), and wipes each class period automatically so you have to respray every 10 minutes.
