Role builder info?

over 8 years

Before I blow any money on role slots, is there any actual information available on the role builder? A guide? Screenshots? A basic description of how it works? Known limitations?

Search found a year-old post where someone said they couldn't play unranked games with their created roles. Was the creator doing it wrong? Was that an old issue that's since been fixed? Still an issue? I don't think I've ever seen a game with a custom role...

One specific role I'm considering would bribe townspeople. Is it possible to delay the reception of an item until a second chosen player has died within a certain timeframe? And could it be received immediately upon their death, or at the end of either a day or a night phase?

Just a warning, having two custom roles that are newly made in the same setup breaks everything. They become the same role and makes having two custom roles you made yourself useless so only buy one. I got screwed over by this myself.
Im not sure if this was fixed but im pretty sure custom roles are still broken.
Heres a topic i found on the topic

So there's no way to make a role die if it visits mafia? This would be so much more versatile if roles could react to their own actions.

Also, I'm assuming Curse is the Witch's effect. "That person will die if visited by a person not sided with the mafia that night." ... If you give a non-mafia role a Curse meeting, can their own visit kill the target?

Ah, you have to enter lines individually, you can't just paste in a description. Thanks, Squiddington.

Is there seriously a cutoff time for reply editing and deletion? Also, do I actually HAVE to specify that a cop will detect a village role as village, and other stuff like that, or will it just default to certain expected behaviors if left blank?

From the looks of it pretty much anything I would want would end up being a mere suggestion. Bought a slot anyway, maybe I'll think of one I'd want to actually use if I keep staring.

Do descriptions for suggested roles need moderator approval or what? I can't seem to add one.

The other problem is not many people play them. So it's kinda a waste

Yeah it's not really the most useful with as few options as there are. I don't think people have made very many roles with it and thoroughly tested them, so there are bound to be issues with complex mechanics anyway.

Just scanning the Created Roles list, either the builder isn't sophisticated enough to really be worth using, or *no one* takes it to its limits. Disappointing either way.
