Right now our point shop has two round modifiers you can buy that influence an individual round, detective (unlimited per map) and traitor (once per map.)
This suggestion is to add a third option you can buy “Enable Spectator Damage”.
“Didn’t we turn that off a few months ago? Why make it a point sink?”
Spectator Damage, at its peak, was turning some maps into ghost death match lobbies with props, every round. There’s an inherit gmod charm to being threatened by a potted plant, but having that fear constantly across six rounds on one silly map is overkill. This suggestion would limit that chicanery to either one round per map, if bought.
The buyable round influencer “Enable Global Spectator Damage” would enable spectator damage for everyone on the applied round. This would be expensive since it applies to everyone, and would have a global cooldown that would apply to everyone. It simply would just turn on spec damage for everyone during the round, giving the plants the blood they crave.
I’m suggesting this as a global round influence rather than a personal round influence on your own damage since it lets everyone in on the fun if bought, and the higher cost of a global fun influencer like this could be used as a good point sink/influences coordination and dialogue between players on whose turn it is to make the plants kill people.
I await your props
