A couple more upgrades to the crowbar swing speed?

    As it is, it's alright for drawing...but it's just slow enough to make it take too long. I would love to see more crowbar art considering the seemingless endless spray exploit keeping those out of the question.
    I recently started drawing a bit myself, but you're in such great danger that I never really get to do much before someone kicks my butt. If it could go a few higher, I won't care if it basically loses all damage, it's a lot of fun to draw and I think more people will enjoy it (or at least get to enjoy looking at the art).
    Shouldn't be a particularly hard change I imagine, but it would give a lot of players who already have max upgrades a new place to pour a few more points away.

    EDIT: If not this, then maybe this?

    Normal dmg is 20 per swing, assuming the rate of swing is 1 per second, that would be 20 per second. Crowbar upgrades must maintain dps. so max swings per second could be pushed to 20 swings per second at 1 damage per swing

    Exactly. At that right I could draw things sooooooooo fast, oh my word. It would be my favorite upgrade by far. It would look amazingly silly I am sure, but the amount of jokes I could do and entertainment I could bring to the server would skyrocket.

    I can get behind this. Many a time has my art been left unfinished because of those ruthless traitors, or on occasion RDMers. :(

    It might get a little obnoxious, though, if we have people swinging their crowbar at the speed of light....

    It could be. Right now the default crowbar sings twice a second, doing 20 damage each time.
    If the upgrade went as far as to lower it to 1 damage....o _ o
    40 swings a second? That would be pretty messed up.

    I mean, I definitely agree that a few more speed upgrades would be okay to have. But it gets to a point where it's both obnoxious, and can cause problems for staff members. If the crowbar does have something insane like 40 swings per second (which I highly doubt it would, but let's just use it as an extreme example), three things would happen.
    • You have the really obnoxious people that run around swinging that minigun of a crowbar, which could easily get annoying if it's spammed constantly.
    • Damagelogs will have a crazy section of 40 hits in a second, causing a lot of clutter there if people use a crowbar that fast to damage someone.
    • Anytime the crowbar is swung, it will flood the shotlogs that staff members have access to. And if someone is able to have 40 hits a second, times however many seconds they're actually using that, that could build up in the logs very quickly.
    So if there was to be an increase, I just think it needs to be only by a few more swings per second. That would probably be alright, and cool for drawing and such. But nothing crazy ;)

    Better yet: maybe they could just add a harmless item that only paints to loadouts :eek: (I'd replace my primary for that).

    But Idk, if there such an addon yet.

    EDIT: Nvm, I found one. However it would need to have some changes done. I'm gonna experiment for fun and see if I can get it working in TTT (Even if it would never be added).

    Double Edit: I finished, gonna record a little demo of it and post a suggestion
