[TTT2] Jester [ROLE]

Description
A bad joke might be the last thing you hear from him. He always tries to fool you. And in the moment your bullet hits his head and his dead body sinks motionless to the ground the truth is right in front of you: he did it again.

You have to use TTT2 in order to use this role. Additionally using ULX for TTT2 is recommended. Report bugs concerning this role here[github.com] and submit new role ideas here[github.com]. A list of all currently available roles can be found here.

Discord: https://discord.gg/9njYXGY
Source: https://github.com/TTT-2/ttt2-role_jes




The jester plays in his own team and it's his goal to get killed by someone. To help him triggering other players, he doesn't deal any damage. But he has to be careful. Shooting at people without dealing damage might reveal his role to them. Killing him results for a win of their team, so be careful.

Also check out the Swapper! The swwapper provides the old jester winstates reworked in an easier to set up way.

Plays best with:




Convars are variables that are introduced to allow server owners to customize the gameplay without changing the code. There are always a handful of convars automatically created by TTT2, that define the spawn parameters of this role and are found in ULX. Additionally there might be some role specific convars, which have to be set in the server config file.

Normal Role Convars (also found in ULX):
# enable or disable this role ttt_jester_enabled [0/1] (default: 1) # the percentage of players that are spawned as this role ttt_jester_pct [0.0..1.0] (default: 1.0) # the limit of players that spawn as this role each round, this overwrites the percentage ttt_jester_max [0..n] (default: 1) # the probability each round of this role being spawned at all ttt_jester_random [0..100] (default: 50) # the amount of players needed for this role to spawn ttt_jester_min_players: [0..n] (default: 8)

Rolespecific Convars:
# should it be publicily anounced if there is a jester in a round ttt2_jes_announce [0/1] (default: 1) # should the jester be able to push other players with his convar ttt2_jes_improvised [0/1] (default: 1) # should the jester be able to carry entities with his magneto stick ttt2_jes_carry [0/1] (default: 1)

Would it be possible to make it so that when the Jester is killed it does not end the whole round? We like the idea of the Jester and someone getting the Dunce role as punishment for the next round, but we would rather have it so the round can keep going. Thanks.:steamthumbsup:

Can you add toggles to whether stuff like jester can be harmed by fire or explosives?

Hey, haven't seen this elsewhere but is there a way to make it so that traitors can kill the jester without the game ending? Ideally so that the jester dies and the traitor that shot him stays alive. Thanks and loving the add-on either way!

Can I deactivate it so nobody sees the Jester in TAB?

Give me back my old jester plz

Neither Swapper nor New Jester is as fun as original jester. Jester used to punish people who fired a gun carelessly. but new Jester punishes everyone because the game is over, Swapper is no punish to the one who fired carelessly , Even innocent people kill him just to be a swapper for themselves

Aye,
(Bug report)
Being killed while in scope/zoom results in begin spawned with zoom and not being able to get out:)

Wait never mind, saw the setting where you can change it to the opposite role upon death. But there were still a lot more Jester winstates that could be added to Swapper

While I think the Swapper role is cool, it’s not really the same. Unless I’m mistaken, the Swapper still only has one minstate and it’s just to steal the identity of their killer. Me and my friends had a lot of fun with the Jester and his multiple winstates and I don’t think you should’ve removed them, or at least added them all to Swapper. Could you please bring them back?

Copied from Neoxult-Discord regarding TTT2 written by Tim | Mineotopia:

@Guardian954 and I spent a while reworking the Jester role and putting most of the winstates in the new Swapper role. The Jester is now back to its default: If they are killed they win. However I spent a while editing the scoring:
- a jester that survives the round now loses 4 points
- a jester that is killed now gains 8 points, while their killer loses as many points as they would for a team kill

The new swapper features the role change and respawn mechanics of the old jester winstates. They appear as a normal jester to their adversaries, so the killer doesn't know what will happen. Also their respawn behavior can be randomized.

Check them out, the new duo is quite fun in my opinion:
