| − | I'm pretty sure this won't be a new Gentlemanne's Service Medal. One, because it's a weapon and not a hat/misc., two because of the "destroyed message", and three, because it will probably have gameplay-changing impacts (for example, picking up the golden statue gives them their max number of HP as Metal? That would make sense, though it would encourage Engineers to go wrench-fu kamikaze more often, which often ends in disaster.) — [[User:WindPower|WindPower]] 15:12, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

| |
| − | ::: Think again. [http://www.falconarmy.com/shed/index.php#bpda]. In the forums, they got people submitting their ideas to a stickied thread, which when then compiled in the site I just linked to. Search the word "Gold".

| |
| − | :::::Possibly true (I will assume it is despite lack of link to any such customization), but I would assume those gold customizations are reskins without actually making the weapons act 'goldlike', and more for just visual effect. What I suggest in my idea on the thread is the effects a weapon made of gold would have (heavier, generally less effective, but also generally more carefully crafted and so allows for more finesse, etc.) Also, I'll point out that Valve has made note of, in the past, that they pull some ideas from the forums. And in the engineer sticky idea thread, mine is the only golden weapon at the point the update was released. So my point stands, and I get to keep my happy dance. ^_^ *Starfyredragon dances while singing 'shiny gold wrench shiny gold wrench' and giggling like a happy schoolgirl* [[User:Starfyredragon|Starfyredragon]] 22:14, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

| − | ::::::: To claim an idea as my own when I demonstratively came up with it? No, I consider that quite reasonable. I won't deny its possible for someone else to come up with the same idea independently, but I can rightly claim I came up with the idea, have demonstrated in the area I was in that I was the only one that came up with it at the time within the sphere of influence I was interacting with. The thread was stickied by valve admins, that's the thread I submitted it to, and in that thread, mine is the only one that suggests a gold wrench. And valve had mentioned they were looking in the forums for ideas. I have every right to claim I came up with the idea, as mine was the only golden wrench in an area where valve said they were looking for ideas, so quit trying to rain on my parade, I brought an umbrella. ^_^ *continues happy dance* Besides, last time Valve pulled an idea from the forums and multiple people were the source for the idea, as I understand it, everyone who was an idea source got shiny weapons. So I'm not saying others won't get a shiny weapon, just saying I'll probably be among the ones that do. [[User:Starfyredragon|Starfyredragon]] 22:28, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

And if they chose multiple peoples idea, then so be that too. My issue is, for all we know, they came up with it themselves, so while you DID indeed also come up with the same idea, I just took issue with you posting here claiming to be itʻs author. "Although I have to toot my own horn... I totally called and came up with the golden wrench idea..." The way you put it implied this, especially as this is a wiki, a place for documenting fact on a subject. Thereʻs no certainty that itʻs even a community weapon.

| − | ::::::::: Okay. It's really just my point that I actually sent them this idea via forums back in March (which is, obviously a fact, so I can put it up here.). I really hope the golden wrench idea is a compilation of several people's ideas, so multiple people can get shiny golden wrenches. My hope is that they give one to me, anyone who emailed them a golden wrench idea prior (or similarly sent them the idea), people who did the skins, and the people who cracked that awesome mystery they put together. Although my original post said 'a' golden wrench idea. (Although it shows that got changed somewhere along the line, I'm changing it back.)

And when you get me talking, I can be a very wordy person ^^; (And Saying I came up with 'a golden wrench idea' is different than saying I came up with 'the golden wrench idea'. It's like the difference of saying "I created ''a'' net" (such as the one I put together in my home) v.s. saying "I created ''the'' net" (which would indicate the one we all use and love everyday of our lives). I may or may not have been part of the inspiration for valve's golden wrench. I frankly have no clue. All I know is that I tried to inspire them to make a golden wrench, and they made a golden wrench, and that makes me happy. And knowing the Valve guys and their apparent good nature (except when it comes to randomly firing their employees or turning them into leather hats as some blog posts would indicate), I suspect even if my idea wasn't an inspiration for their idea at all in anyway and they somehow never saw my posts in their stickied thread, if I point out I tried to send them a golden wrench idea and show them the links, they'll probably let me have a shiny golden wrench. (And probably tell me whether it was just coincidence, or if they did get some inspiration from me.) Either way would make for a fun story to friends and I'd get to run around with a shiny golden wrench. (Or should it be called a shiny shiny golden wrench since gold is already shiny? :s And would shiny shiny be additive, so just extra shine, multiplicative meaning it's like a mirror that makes things brighter, or shiny to the power of shiny meaning it'd be like looking at the sun? *Starfyredragon wanders off, mumbling to himself in a long diatribe at bout the effects of making something shiny shiny before getting distracted by flowers.* ) [[User:Starfyredragon|Starfyredragon]] 23:42, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

| − | | |
| − | I've seen some people dismiss this as impossible based on the stated on-kill effect - turning someone into gold - requiring a lot of coding work for what might be a minor vanity item (for all we know). Just wanted to point out - Garry's Mod has a tool that can instantly freeze a ragdoll's limbs, convert its material into metal (along with all that entails physics-wise), and color it shiny yellow, thus turning it into gold, and it wouldn't surprise me if the Golden Wrench used the exact same method, thus requiring almost no new coding work. <small>--''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' [[User:Starfyredragon|Starfyredragon]] ([[User talk:Starfyredragon|talk]]) • [[Special:Contributions/Starfyredragon|contribs]]) </small>

Values like shaders in VMTs can be changed at all time, I don't see that's so hard in understanding that. The whole "freezing limbs in place" is a bit more complicated (Bone angles and such), but to make a long story short, GMod's Freeze Tool is probably the best example.

[http://www.teamfortress.com/loosecanon/13.html This is the page I'm thinking of.] Say, maybe, one of the Australium caches had way more empty space in it than it did Australium, meaning that it probably at one time held a lot more stuff that disappeared sometime before the modern Engineer located the cache.

I went into spectator mode to watch him and it said "charles barkley is carrying: The Kritzkrieg - Level 8 Medigun - Imbued with an ancient power", meaning that it says a different weapon, different level but the "real" description.

| − | Is it confirmed that the wrenches "drop" on craft or is it that they drop randomly? And if the former is the case, have any wrenches dropped on failed craft? Has anyone actually attempted to figure out under what circumstance they dropped? [[User:Kekeke01|Kekeke01]] 07:28, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

| − | :Nevermind I am an idiot, the official blog is updated and it is confirmed that they drop on craft. [[User:Kekeke01|Kekeke01]] 07:43, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

| − | I don't think the standing statue thing is provable. My server has the attribute applied to all wrenches just to mess around with it. While it IS hard to get statues to stand, it is possible. It mostly depends on if the player that was killed is actually MOVING or not. And well, snipers are more often stationary considering their role in the game.

| − | :Well I was just testing it on tr_walkway, where they were all holding their primaries and not moving. It's true though, it does prove the disproportionate models. -- [[User:Smashman|Smashman...]] <sub>([[User_talk:Smashman|t]] • <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/smashman2004 s])</span></sub> 21:22, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
