TTT pointshop adding roles

[Blackety]

I've played on servers that allowed the player to purchase a Traitor or a Detective role for the next round. What is the code for adding such a thing? There was only one other code I found through my search and the shop treated the 'roles' as wearable items.

You could make a script that gives a player points every round that could make them buy detective or traitor, it would be pretty simple to make but would kind of ruin the randomness of the game in my opinion

The PointShop itself gives points over time. I wanted to make it a possibility to purchase a role. They would be expensive as far as points go to prevent people constantly buying them.

I personally dislike it, too. Like, imagine if you spend all that time collecting points to be traitor and get RDM'd, you'd be pretty upset.

I think you'd be better off having it just be random

I appreciate the input guys, but all I wanted to know what how to add that function. I've played on a server with it before and we did fine. If it became a problem, I would handle it. It wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

If you insist dude.

This should suit your needs

ITEM.Name = 'Traitor'
ITEM.Price = 2000
ITEM.Material = 'VGUI/ttt/sprite_traitor.vmt'
ITEM.OneUse = true
ITEM.AllowedUserGroups = { "donator", "customrank", "admin", "superadmin" }

if SERVER then
	local plymeta = FindMetaTable( "Player" )
	if not plymeta then return end
	plymeta.inTraitorCooldown = false
end

function ITEM:CanPlayerBuy(ply)
    return ply.inTraitorCooldown
end

function ITEM:OnEquip(ply, modifications)
	hook.Add("TTTBeginRound", ply:UniqueID() .. "_traitor", function()
	if ply:GetRoleString() != "traitor" then
		ply:SetRole(ROLE_TRAITOR)
		ply:AddCredits(GetConVarNumber("ttt_credits_starting"))
	end

	if SERVER then
		ply.inTraitorCooldown = true
		timer.Simple(1200, function() ply.inTraitorCooldown = false end)
		ply:PS_TakeItem(self.ID)
	end

	hook.Remove("TTTBeginRound", ply:UniqueID() .. "_traitor")
	end)
end

function ITEM:OnHolster(ply)
	hook.Remove("TTTBeginRound", ply:UniqueID() .. "_traitor")
end

function ITEM:OnSell(ply)
	hook.Remove("TTTBeginRound", ply:UniqueID() .. "_traitor")
end
