Tape Tool

Tired of using the lame rope tool to mark walls or place lines on floors?

Introducing the Tape Tool! This tool allows you to easily mark up walls, map out areas, and create paths on floors.

Unlike the standard rope tool, this tape features a true 3D model and won't accidentally be cleared by simply pressing Z. While it is perfect for exploring The Complex or The Backrooms, it can be used on any map you like!

Found in the Weapons tab under "Backrooms" category

Colours & Types

  • Red Arrowed
  • Orange Arrowed
  • Yellow Arrowed
  • Green Arrowed
  • Blue Arrowed
  • Electrical Tape (Any Surface)
  • Red Guideline Tape (Automatically curves after adding a turn)

Controls

  • Left Click: Start or stop creating a tape line.
  • Right Click: Add a turn/vertex in the tape (does not apply to electrical tape).
  • Reload (while looking at tape): Remove the entire tape line of same colour.
  • Reload (while looking away): Undo the last created segment of same colour.

Known Issues

  • Tapes switch texture occasionally
  • Dynamic lights do not illuminate the tape.
  • Flashlights do not illuminate the tape.
  • Does NOT work on Infmap.
  • Doesn't work in multiplayer properly. Hopefully fixed

Regarding Tapes Switching Texture

I haven't been able to reproduce this bug at all, more information on what was done during the tape switching texture would be great. I am unsure if it is a mod conflict or some kind of mistake I made. If you do get the bug, attempt trying again on the x86-64 branch to see if it helps, or restart Garry's Mod.
