I think it would be fun if you could "paint" blocks that are already placed or that were a part of the map. For example you could

-recolor your favorite fort or bunker without rebuilding it
-paint buildings on city maps,
-paint paths and roads on the ground for your team-mates to follow
-mark enemy sniper positions or tunnel exits
-painting over fake-intels

You can do this now by digging out and replacing each block, but this would be more like a "paintbrush" tool, that would change the block color instantly.

Anyone else think this would be fun?

Cool idea, encourages autism though.

But it would be really fun to graffiti dicks on everything.

Lol dude that's just messed up ^

but yeah good idea

I guess, seems unnecessary though.

It would probably take too much coding time, with too little actual addition to game-play.
Digging out the block and just placing it works fine.

You can do most of those things by just placing blocks or just thinking ahead.

I do recall seeing this feature on a pyspades server once, using your weapon as the brush.

>encourages autism though

LOL. This. Would be exploitable too.

Hmmm true. well actually digging the block out makes noise, so this would be a nice stealth addition

edit add-on:
It'd also be good for when your making a fort and place the wrong color block, instead of digging it out and becoming vulnerable use this instead

Also, you could use it to show your team-mates something on the map. For example by painting a giant X where you wanted to meet up before an intel run. Once you were ready you could cover up the marker, with the enemy never noticing.

As far as abuse goes, you can already place about 50 bright pink blocks at a time. If "graffiti" got too bad there could be a limit on the number of blocks you could recolor before running out of paint.

I support it Dunno about anyone else

Can you do that by just placing blocks now?

Why do we need to paint blocks to do that?

STEALTH can't you read original posts?

Is stealth really that needed?
If they can hear you placing blocks, they can most defiantly see you.
Not to mention you would have to be above ground for you team mates to see you meaning, they would most definitely be out in the open, meaning stealth is next to useless.

Depends the map Comrade.

No, you would always have to be in the open on the surface to make something visible on the map.
It does'nt depend on the map. The map only show the top layer of blocks.

I can only see this aiding autists and griefers.

Instead of building giant letters to bash blue, now we can do it faster by painting it on everything!

Actually, it's not a bad concept really.

I suppose this could work if regulated.

just another thing to scroll through....You cant really say a bunker is yours untill you destroyed it one block at a time and made it yours./

Pyspades. Danke already created a script for it.
