Smart Crowbar Highlight
Smart Crowbar Highlight automatically highlights all interactable crowbars on the map, making them easy to spot through walls and across the level. Also works on heists like Dragon Heist and Crude Awakening.
Highlights update dynamically — when you pick up a crowbar the highlight disappears, and if the crowbar is consumed (e.g. Meltdown vents) the highlight returns automatically on remaining crowbars. On heists where the crowbar starts inaccessible (e.g. No Mercy), the highlight only appears once the crowbar becomes interactable.
Features
- Highlights all interactable crowbars through walls at heist start
- Highlight disappears on pickup and returns if the crowbar is consumed
- Respects map scripting — inactive crowbars are never highlighted
- In-heist highlight toggle via keybind — resets to on each heist load
- Persistent mod enable/disable toggle — survives heist and game restarts
- Fully customizable highlight color via RGB sliders, hex input, and presets
- Color preview panel shown while in settings
