Addon

The sensor, during meetings, may use the command /sense [role] in order to divine the presence of a certain role (whether it is alive). This command responds "yes" if the role they asked about is still alive, and "no" if not.

Override Senser's tasks: default OFF
Number of uses: default 15
Number of uses per meeting: default 3
Can be crew: default ON
Can be impostor: default ON
Can be neutral: default ON

Yes it is

unreal ivy
#

...isn't this just Fortune Teller but using commands rather than voting?

near notch
#

i don't think you understand the role. The role does not say anything about who is what until they finish tasks. The command is just to ask, "is there a [role] still alive?" and it tells you yes or no

#

And when they do finish tasks, it's still different from overseer and fortune teller because it doesn't tell you their role. It just says if the person you used the ability on has a certain role.

upbeat zenith
#

Not I get it now it doesn’t reveal a role it just tells you if the role is alive or not

unreal ivy
#

Either I'm not understanding fully the logic of this role, or it's just a weaker version of 2 roles that are already in the game
imo, you could easily add on the "/sense [role]" command to the fortune teller to improve it a bit

near notch
#

It can use the ability more often

upbeat zenith
#

Like you type pinpoint 10 jackal

#

What happenes then

near notch
#

Is 10 jackal?

unreal ivy
near notch
#

It answers as if you just asked that question

near notch
#

I edited my post for better clarity

unreal ivy
# near notch wym both yes and no?

If yes: does it kill them? Does it reveal it to everyone? Does it just confirm it in chat?

If no: Do you suicide? Does it do nothing? Does it just say "No" in chat?

This is legit just a weaker version of stuff like; fortune teller, overseer, good/evil guesser, judge, counsellor that's in the works to being added, etc

upbeat zenith
#

This role is pointless cause there is better roles that do the same thing like overseer

near notch
#

It just tells you

#

Again, it can use its ability more often

#

I'll suggest it be an addon instead

upbeat zenith
#

Yeah but this role is just weaker overseer and fortune teller

near notch
#

Well it's an addon now

#

Sensor (Addon)

#

It'd be useful in situations where someone is acting like a jester, or someone kills another and claims they were puppeted, you could go /sense jester and see if that's a possibility or /sense puppeteer

unreal ivy
#

What would happen if you get it wrong

near notch
#

you gain info that there is no such role

#

which, in such a situation, would tell you if you asked about jester, "there's no jester, it's safe to vote whoever is sus"

unreal ivy
#

sense is logical, but pinpoint I feel needs a strong downside rather than just "says no"

near notch
#

which is part of why i removed it

#

it's an addon now, i think sense is good enough for an addon

#

besides not all roles have tasks

unreal ivy
#

Oh I see, I legit never noticed - in that case, I think it would work as an addition for fortune teller or medium to make it feel more like a "mystical" role

near notch
#

Or just to any role to make it able to gain information, doesn't have to be one that can already investigate roles

#

still a bad idea as an addon?

unreal ivy
#

I think it's a bad idea as a stand-alone thing, but it's a good idea to be added to something else

near notch
#

"but it's a good idea to be added to something else"
that is exactly why I made this an addon

unreal ivy
#

not what I mean but ok

near notch
#

why can't it work as an addon in general?

unreal ivy
#

because it doesn't make sense with most roles

near notch
#

give an example

unreal ivy
#

Let me open up the game and grab a list

#

quick question - is anyone able to get this add-on, or just crewmates. or neutrals, etc?

near notch
#

depends on settings

unreal ivy
#

Well that alone I disagree with lol

#

There's no sense for any of the neutrals or imps to get it for starters

near notch
#

I feel like the same could be said for guesser though

#

Because it's difficult to figure out what role somebody has if they're impostor and won't out themselves

unreal ivy
#

I actually would have a shorter list to name the ones that it would work with so I'ma do that instead

Would work best with: Overseer, Judge, Dictator, Tracker, Snitch, Medium, Fortune Teller
Kinda makes sense but not overly: Sheriff and Bodyguard
Least likely to need it but works above all other roles: Pacifist, Medic, Detective, Coroner, Super Star, Luckey, and Celebrity

The rest makes no sense at all (at least, imo)

upbeat zenith
#

why is overseer and judge

near notch
#

it's roles that it would work with

#

not wouldn't

upbeat zenith
#

can the player affected know that he was affected

unreal ivy
# upbeat zenith why is overseer and judge

For example, if an overseer has a hunch on someone being something, they could sense it to see if it's in the game, if it is then they'd go check that person to confirm their suspicions

oh wait you meant like roles that cant get this addon i thought you meant roles that the addon cant reveal

unreal ivy

#

I think I understand it.

#

You use a command to check to see if a role is alive.

upbeat zenith
#

like it would work on every role

near notch
#

Yes, impostors could check for overseer and know whether they should be careful using their abilities

upbeat zenith
#

but some roles would be just op

near notch
#

or for jester to be careful who to vote for

unreal ivy
#

idk how else to explain it than fucking common English - I don't think it works well as an add-on, it would be better as an addition to an existing role (part of their skill set)
Most roles it would be useless on that's why having it as an add-on doesn't make sense because, for example, why the fuck would a mechanic need this? Why would a grenadier need this?

upbeat zenith
#

like judge sheriff

near notch
#

A mechanic doesn't synergize particularly well with the addon but it has its own use regardless of your role

upbeat zenith
unreal ivy
near notch
#

just like, sensing for a jester

upbeat zenith
near notch
#

or for an executioner to see if that's a risk

upbeat zenith
#

I DONT GET IT

near notch
#

or for innocent

#

y'all have differing opinions it's fine

unreal ivy
fading chasm
#

at this point, I'd just make a Fortune Teller variant that just tells you if the target is crew or not ;-;

#

wait thats not a bad idea tbh

unreal ivy
upbeat zenith
near notch
#

yeah I think he doesn't get it

#

Can I lock this post?

upbeat zenith
#

no

near notch
#

yeah sure

#

is it because there's so many comments?
