weapon_paintgun

weapon_paintgun is a point entity available in Portal 2: Community Edition. It is a gun that shoots Gel. By default, the paint gun only has the ability to fire Cleansing Gel. To enable other gel types, the player must pick up an item_paint_power_pickup corresponding to that type. The player's gels will be removed on contact with a trigger_paint_cleanser.

Note:The paint gun currently uses the portal gun model by default. This will change in a future version of P2CE.

Note:The paint gun was originally planned to appear in Portal 2, but was cut due to the complexity of switching between weapons to use the gels. While leftover in the FGD, it was removed from the game and was not usable in maps. It has been reimplemented in P2CE.
