The Mafia are a group of three Impostors.
The Godfather works like a normal Impostor.
The Mafioso is an impostor who cannot kill nor sabotage until the Godfather is dead.
The Janitor is an impostor who cannot kill nor sabotage, but they can hide dead bodies instead.
NOTE
- There have to be 3 impostors activated for the mafia to spawn.

The Morphling is an impostor which can additionally scan the appearance of a player. After an arbitrary time they can take on that appearance for 10s.
NOTE
- They shrink to the size of the child when they copies its look.
- The color of the footprints does not change.
- The Seer still sees the Morphlings role if they revealed it.
- The other impostor still sees that they are an impostor (the name remains red).
| Name | Description |

| Morphling Cooldown | - |
The Camouflager is an impostor which can additionally activate a camouflage mode.
The camouflage mode lasts for 10s and while it is active, all player names/pets/hats
are hidden and all players have the same color.
NOTE
- The Child and Morphling when copying the child remain small.
- The color of the footprints does not change.
- The Seer still sees all the roles they revealed.

There are always two lovers which are linked together.
Their goal is it to stay alive together until the end of the game.
If one Lover dies (and the option is activated), the other Lover suicides.
There is a 67% chance that both Lovers are crewmates and a 33% chance that one of them is an impostor (ImpLover) and one a crewmate. In both cases they don't see the role of the other player, they only see that they are a Lover
The Lovers win if they are both alive among the last 3 players, however they can also win with their respective role.
If both Lovers are crewmates, they can achieve a "double victory" but the crewmates then also win.
If one Lover is an impostor and one a crewmate, they can get a "Lovers solo win" where only they win (even if there is another impostor alive).
NOTE
- If there is an equal amount of impostors and crewmates left in the game and one of the Lovers is an impostor, the game is not automatically over since the Lovers can still achieve a solo win. E.g. if there are the following roles Impostor + ImpLover + Lover + Crewmate left, the game will not end and the next kill will decide if the impostors or Lovers win.
- The Lovers can change if the Shifter exchanges role with one of the Lovers
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Lovers Spawn Chance | - |
| Both Lovers Die | Whether the second Lover suicides, if the first one dies |
The Sheriff has the ability to kill impostors. If they try to kill a crewmate, they die instead.
NOTE
- For now the Shifter won't die to the Sheriff (an option will be added in the next version).
- If the Sheriff shoots the person the Medic shielded, the Sheriff and the shielded person both remain unharmed.

The Jester does not have any tasks. They win the game as a solo, if they get voted out during a meeting.
| Name | Description |

The Seer has the ability to find out about people's intentions. The information is only visible to them.
Depending on the selected option they either directly see the role of the player (appended to their name) or if the player is
a good (name text changes to yellow) or a bad (name text changes to a darker color) player.
Depending on the selected option the player will get a blue flash on their screen if they are being revealed by the Seer.
NOTE
- Good players: Crewmates with all their special roles\
- Bad players: Impostors with all their special roles (Mafia, Morphling, Camouflager, ImpLover) and the neutral roles (Jester, Shifter)
- Cooldown: The cooldown of the Seer wil not be reset after a meeting (in order to balance the option to reveal roles)
- If the role of a revealed player changes during the game (because of e.g. the Shifter), the information of the Seers also adapts.
- When the Camouflager camouflages all players or the Morphling copies the appearance of another player, the Seer still sees the information they gained earlier (i.e. they still see that the player is the Morphling even if their appearance is different).
- If the Shifter exchanges the role with the Seer, the information gained by the Seer will be transfered to the new Seer (i.e. the new Seer sees what the old one revealed and the old one "loses" the information they gained).
| Name | Description | Options |
|---|---|---|
| Seer Spawn Chance | - | - |
| Seer Cooldown | Cooldown for his special ability. This cooldown will not be reset after a meeting | - |
| Info That Seer Reveals | Description above | "Role", "Good/Bad" |

The Engineer (if alive) can fix one sabotage per game from anywhere on the map.
The Engineer can use vents.
NOTE
- The kill button of Impostors activates if they stand next to a vent where the Engineer is. They can also kill them there. No other action (e.g. Morphling sample, Shifter shift, ...) can affect players inside vents.

The Detective can see footprints that other players leave behind.
NOTE
- Even when the Morphling changes their appearance or the Camouflager camouflages everyone, the Detective still sees the right (original) colors.

The Child won't be harmed by anyone, since if it dies everyone besides the child will lose the game.
The Child's character is smaller and hence visible to everyone in the game.
The child works with the crewmate and aims to play out the strength of its "invincibility".
It does not want to win the game as a dead child and the impostors don't want to deny
a crewmate win by killing a child (changes will come to prevent this behaviour).
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Child Spawn Chance | - |
The Medic can shield (highlighted by an outline around the player) one player per game, which makes the player unkillable.
The shielded player can still be voted out and might also be an impostor.
If set in the options, the shielded player will get a red flash on their screen if someone (Impostor, Sheriff, ...) tried to murder them.
If the Medic dies, the shield disappears with them.
The Sheriff will not die if they try to kill a shielded crewmate and won't perform a kill if they try to kill a shielded impostor.
The Medic's other feature shows when they report a corpse: they recieve clues about the killer's identity. The type of information they get is based on the time it took them to find the corpse.
NOTE
- Lighter Colors: Pink, orange, yellow, white, cyan, lime
- Darker Colors: Red, blue, green, grey, purple, brown
- If the shielded player is a Lover and the other Lover dies, they nevertheless kill themselves.
- If the Shifter has a shield or their target has a Shield, the shielded player switches.

The Spy gets more information than others from the admin table and vitals.
Admin table: The spy can see the colors of the players on the table.
Vitals: The spy can see how long dead players have been dead for.
NOTE:
- Even if the Morphling morphes or the Camouflager camouflages, the Spy sees the right colors on the admin table.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Spy Spawn Chance | - |
The Shifter belongs to no team and has no tasks.
The Shifter always loses the game, however they can exchange roles with other players.
Swapping roles with a crewmate or a custom crewmate role (or the Jester) gives them their role and their tasks, the other player becomes the new Shifter.
Swapping roles with an impostor or a custom impostor role fails and the Shifter commits suicide.
The special interactions with the Shifter are noted in the chapters of the respective roles.
NOTE:
- If the Shifter takes over a role, their new cooldowns will start at the maximum cooldown of the ability
- One time use abilities (e.g. shielding a player or engineer sabotage fix) can only used by one player in the game (i.e. the Shifter can only use them, if the player they exchanged roles with have not used them before)
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Shifter Spawn Chance | - |
| Shifter Cooldown | - |
The Time Master can rewind the time.
If set in the options, players will be revived during the time rewind.
Only movement and kills are affected (not cooldowns, meetings, tasks, ...)
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Time Master Spawn Chance | - |
| Time Master Cooldown | - |
| Rewind Duration | How much time to rewind |
| Revive During Rewind | Whether to revive dead players when rewinding |
During meetings the Swapper can exchange votes that two people get (i.e. all votes
that player A got will be given to player B and vice versa).
Because of the Swappers strength in meetings, they can't start emergency meetings
and can't fix lights and comms.

It's bad I know, this is a side project and my second week of modding. So there are no best practices around here. You can use parts of the codes but don't copy paste the whole thing. Make sure you give credits to the other developers, because some parts of the code are base on theirs. And yes it is in a zip file... I will change that.
If you found any bugs, have an idea for an idea for a new role or any other request, join my Discord server
