{{note|"Paint bomb" refers to {{ent|prop_paint_bomb}}s. "Paint blobs" refers to gel in the form of a continuous stream. Paint bombs actually render as a packet of 20 (<code>paintbomb_draw_num_paint_blobs</code>) individual gel blobs, so ''some'' blob commands may apply to them as well, usually only for visual variables.}}
