Description A terrorist skilled in the art of investigation. He utilizes his abilities to investigate
fellow terrorists for signs of traitorous or abnormal activities.
Alignment and Win Condition: He is part of the innocents team and shares their win conditions.
Role ability
The investigator utilizes bugs, which he attaches to other players. Once a bug is attached, results of the investigation will be displayed after [20] seconds.
The results will be displayed [in chat];[as a popup on screen] and show three different roles, one of which being the actual role of the Investigators target.
As an example, could the results be displayed as follows:
An Investigator bugged (Player) and found them to be (Role1, Role2, or Role3).
The roles could best be displayed in their respective role colour, for example if a result of the investigation is traitor, this would be displayed in red (innocent in green, hitman in orange, shinigami in grey, etc.).
The Investigator will be able to place a bug every [20] seconds.
Role Gameplay
If the Investigator bugged a Player, and their roles are displayed as 3 the innocents team opposing roles, it is clear, that this player is clearly evil, and therefore allowed to neutralize.
If the Investigator bugged a Player, and at least one of the results are that of an Innocent role, then the investigator will have to bug the Player an additional time. Since the results should be displayed as random, chances are, that the two random roles will now be different ones, so that the actual role can be determined.
Everything else will be the regular gameplay of an innocent.
If the bug was recently used, a cooldown for the item could be displayed as an icon similar to the Radar on the left side of the screen to keep track of when it will be available again.
The amount of Roles displayed in the results should be three in total, this might be made a convar, but two random roles in addition to the actual role should be the best value for now.
Settings
Since a server doesn't always have every role available, a way to manage the possible results should be implemented. This could be a simple window in ULX in which a box for every role that could be on the server is displayed and can be marked by an admin. Otherwise an automatic check for the active roles in the current rounds rolepool could be implemented {Though I am unsure if this is possible}.
A lot of things couuld be a convar in this, idk.
Plays best with
As many roles as possible, to diversify the results.
Multiple "factionless" roles e.g. Pirate, Bodyguard, Jester, Unknown.
Why it might be fun to play
The idea is to have another innocent role with an upside and a unique touch to it.
The idea is, that there is an undercover investigative role running around without being noticed as such to identify as many players as possible, while helping out the innocent team towards victory.
Things inside [ ] are subject for change and just some numbers and stuff I think could be fitting.
Feedback and critique is appreciated, as this is the first role I've written.
