1 month ago Revisiting this idea and trying to come up with a larger list of tasks. I am looking through every role we have to see if there are any ideas we can steal from pre-existing roles.
NOTE: For any tasks that care about a specific player, if that player dies before the task was completed the player is automatically rerolls but the task remains the same.
Kill Tasks:
- Kill a player from within X meters
- Kill a player from outside X meters
- Kill a player from behind
- Kill a specific player
- Kill a player with a secondary weapon
- Kill a player within X seconds of doing a 360
- Kill a player after staying close to them for X minutes
- Kill a player with a specific primary floor weapon
- Kill a player with a specific traitor weapon (The weapon would be given to the taskmaster for free, cannot be dropped and has infinite ammo. Need to think of a good way to dynamically create a list of valid traitor weapons.)
- Kill a player in one hit (This doesn't mean they need to go from 100-0, as long as you haven't dealt damage to them before.)
Other Tasks:
- Stay close to a specific player for X seconds
- Crouch next to a dead body for X seconds
- Call the detective over to a dead body
- Look at a specific player for X seconds without breaking line of sight
- Pick up a shop item
- Stay out of line of sight of all other players for X seconds
- Get another player to damage you without killing you (within X seconds)
- Survive until the end of the round
- Get a specific player to kill another player (not you)
- Get a specific player killed by another player (not you)
- Stay inside a specific area for X seconds
- Stay away from all other players for X seconds
I honestly think we still probably need twice as many 'other' tasks to have a good level of variation. I think the level of kill tasks is good because there isn't too much variety you can do there anyway.
Based on those numbers I think a breakdown of 1 kill task, 2 other tasks makes sense for the default values, assuming we can think of a bunch more 'other' tasks.
The taskmaster has a list of tasks that they need to complete to win the round. The taskmaster's win is a secondary win condition and does not end the round. However, if the taskmaster has not completed their tasks they will prevent innocent/traitors/monsters from winning. The taskmaster does not need to be alive to win, as long as they have completed all their tasks. Tasks consist of "kill tasks" which require the taskmaster to kill players in specific and "misc tasks" which require the taskmaster to complete some other objective. The taskmaster can spend credits to reroll tasks which does not change their type (i.e. kill/misc) but does change the specific task.
