I have Been playing TTT in Gmod forever now and i wanted to bring somthing new to blockland. so i posted the rules and consept of the game here hoping we could get This mod Made.
How To PlayEdit
GeneralEdit
The game first starts with all players in one room. There is a 30 second preparation period, where the players can roam around the map, searching for weapons, ammo, and hiding spots. During this time, players cannot harm each other. The players, however, can die from environmental damage, like fire and falling. Players who have been hurt/killed will be healed/respawned once the prep period is over. When the Prep period is over, the game begins and all effects of the game will be active. These include player-versus-player damage, players that die will not respawn until the next round, and players can buy equipment.
The Three GroupsEdit
When a player plays TTT, they will be divided up into three different groups. The groups are Innocent, Detective, and Traitor. All groups can kill other players. Detectives and Traitors can buy equipment from an equipment menu accessed by hitting the "C" key.
InnocentEdit
The Innocent are the majority (normally 75% of the game's population.) Their group color is green. A traitor is shown as an innocent to everyone, except for other traitors. As an innocent player, you are the most vulnerable. Innocent players risk being killed by Traitors and being wrongly accused of being a Traitor. They also cannot buy equipment. The player can pick up weapons and use them against would-be killers, but normally, players will be killed, due to the surprise nature of the attack.
DetectiveEdit
The Detectives are the smallest group in TTT. Their group color is blue. Their job is to find out who the Traitors are. A Detective is generally a high profile target to Traitors, due to the Detective's ability to use their DNA scanners to scan bodies which yields evidence. Detectives, when searching bodies, can find extra information, like who he last saw. The Detectives can retrieve unspent equipment credits from dead Detectives and Traitors. Also, all Detectives get a credit when a Traitor is confirmed to be dead.
Detectives are able to buy equipment such as:
Body armor - Passively gives a 30% resistance to damage. Has no effect on the player's appearance.
Radar - Scans every 30 seconds, showing the location of every living player.
Health station - When placed, any player (including Traitors!) can use this to heal. Has a limited charge, but slowly recharges over time. Can be destroyed. A DNA sample is left when used.
Binoculars - Identifies bodies from a distance. Takes a few seconds of standing still to activate, rendering the Detective a sitting duck for a Traitor.
Defusal kit - Can be used to more safely defuse a Traitor's C4 than attempting to do so without one.
UMP.45 prototype - A special UMP that fires special rounds which, on impact, mess up the recipient's aim.
DNA Scanner - Scans DNA on a body, showing the current location of the killer. You must reach a body within a couple minutes of death, or the DNA will expire.
Visualizer - When placed near a body, it will visualize how the player died, showing blue "Ghosts" where the killer and the victim were standing at the time of death.
TraitorEdit
The Traitors are the medium sized group in TTT (25% of the population or one Traitor for every four players.) Their group color is red, but this is not displayed to anyone other than Traitors, or when a Traitor has been confirmed to be dead. Their job is to kill all of the Innocent players. Traitors have the toughest job because of how the Innocent normally group together. This disadvantage, however, can be their greatest strength, as when two or more Traitors team up, they can take down the entire group. Of course, other players will grow suspicious when players start disapearing. Be prepared to get scanned, killed, or have to do some killing. Traitors, like Detectives, can buy equipment, mostly weapons. Like Detectives, Traitors can retrieve unspent equipment credits from dead Detectives and Traitors, and will be rewarded with a credit when a Detective is confirmed to be dead.
Traitors can buy the following equipment:
Body Armor - Passively gives a 30% resistance to damage. Has no effect on the player's appearance.
Disguiser - Once purchased, the player may open the shop menu with C and click the Disguiser tab at the top. Then he may click the check box - this will disguise him. A disguised player has no name. This makes them an obvious Traitor, but since nobody can see their name, if the Traitor retreats, they can blend back in and nobody will know who was shooting. You can also bind a key to easily toggle the disguise.
Radar - Scans every 30 seconds, showing the location of every living player.
Silenced Pistol - A silenced pistol allowing for medium range silent kills. Victims do not scream when killed. Does low damage and has mediocre accuracy.
Knife - Can be used to silently stab an unsuspecting victim, and can be thrown with right click. It deals about 50 damage and will tell you when you can get an instant kill when holding it. Like the silenced pistol, victims do not scream when killed.
C4 - A destructive timed bomb. The Bomb can be programmed to explode after any time between 45 seconds and 10 minutes. When it expires, it causes multiple deadly explosions that will kill anyone within a fairly long radius. Has a distinctive beep to alert the Innocents. Any Innocent can try to defuse it by cutting 1 of 6 wires at random, but the longer the timer is set for, the more likely they will cut a bad wire and cause it to explode instantly. Detectives can use Defusal Kits to more safely defuse C4.
Flare Gun - Shoots a flare to burn a dead body; can be used as a weapon, dealing about 50 damage over a short period of time.
Newton Launcher - When fired at a physics prop or player, it will push that prop or player. Can be used to push people standing on a ledge over. Works at a long distance, but has a long recharge. Uses the physgun model, so if you hold it out you will be an obvious traitor.
Poltergeist - A special weapon that can be fired at any physics prop, attaching a thruster. The thruster will begin to thrust in short bursts, throwing the prop around violently and potentially killing anyone in it's way. As the truster expires, the bursts will get faster until the thruster explodes, dealing damage to anything nearby. The Poltergeist has a long recharge and has no effect when fired on players.
Decoy - Can be used on a body to falsify evidence, causing the location revealed by a DNA test to be incorrect.
Radio - Can be activated by opening the shop with C and clicking the Radio tab. From there, you can play a number of sounds from the radio, from gunfire to death screams to c4 beeping, which may lure players to or scare them away from the radio.
EndingEdit
The round will end under one of three conditions. The conditions are:
All Innocent Eliminated
All Traitors Eliminated
Time Ran Out.
The All Innocent Eliminated outcome is when there is at least one Traitor left and no Innocent or Detectives are alive. This outcome is somewhat uncommon, as it is a lot easier to find 3-4 Traitors than to kill 20 or so Innocents and Detectives. The All Traitors Eliminated outcome is when at least one Innocent player is left and there are no Traitors are alive. This is the most common outcome, due to the ease of finding Traitors. The Time Ran Out outcome is when there are still Traitors and Innocent players left. This outcome is highly uncommon, due to the rounds being set to 10-12 minutes long and the ratio of Traitors to Innocents (One Traitor for every four Innocents). No matter what the outcome of the match is, The records for the round will be displayed for about 30 seconds. These include accomplishments like how many kills a player got with a certain weapon, who got the first kill, ect.
Random DeathmatchEdit

KarmaEdit
Karma is a measure of how much damage a player can deal in a round. Karma is lost when an Innocent kills another innocent, a Traitor kills another Traitor, a Detective kills an innocent, Detective kills another Detective and so forth. The highest karma can go to is 1000. If a player's karma is low, they will not do as much damage as a player who has high or full karma. Karma can be increased through killing Traitors if you're an Innocent/Detective and vice versa. An Innocent player with high karma will not loose as much karma for killing another Innocent with low karma as would be lost for killing another Innocent with high(er) karma.
Traitor TipsEdit
A majority of new players introduced to TTT may find great difficulty assuming the role as traitor. The following is a list of recommended suggestions for players striving to perform better as the traitor role:
Utilize the Microphone - If you find yourself in a situation where your identity is at risk, lie to the best of your ability. Be as convincing as possible. Players are generally more easily influenced by those who verbally explain their dilemma rather than through text chat.
Eliminate the Suspicious - Players who may be suspicious of your actions should be silenced whenever possible and discretely. Servers consist anywhere from 16 - 24 players. A majority of these players are more concerned about their safety. Neutralizing those suspicious of you would prevent their reasoning to distrust you from surfacing to other players. Be careful however to dispose of their corpses as other players may be able to link the possibility of their death to you.
C4 - A Last Option - As tempting as it may be, C4 is never a good option unless properly hidden. Innocents can easily notify a detective of its existence and have it disarmed. Already your DNA is obtained leaving you an open target. Secondly, if you plan on ever using a C4, never plant it less then 90 seconds. Of the 5 different wires, only 1 if cut will detonate the C4 assuming it was planted between 45 - 75 seconds. Planting a C4 for 90 - 90+ seconds will increase your odds for detonation should a player attempt to disarm it.
Knife Throwing, a Valuable Asset - A number of revisions ago, TTT's knife was nerfed to the point where it was no longer possible to instantly kill another by close contact. Although various communities still preserve the original knife's attributes, a majority of the ttt servers are continuously updated. Throwing the knife at a player from a distance of at least 300 units guarantee's an instant kill. Holding the "jump" key and "right-clicking" with the knife in hand will project the knife further. If you happen to miss and a player notices your knife, do not worry, DNA cannot be obtained from a knife unless it was used to murder another player.
Disguise Toggling - Upon purchasing the "Disguise" item from the traitor menu, have a key pre-bound to toggle between the disguise states (ie. bind "key" ttt_toggle_disguise). Murdering multiple innocents in close quarters or sniping from a distance are both excellent applications of the disguise kit. Take care to disable your disguise when around groups of innocents.
Detective Targeting - Innocents seek refuge by staying close with the detectives. Not only do they provide refilling health stations, but will provide valuable information regarding possible traitor suspects. Executing them in a timely fashion is preferred. Only execute them if they are alone or among a small number of innocents. Take care to note that obtaining the detectives "DNA scanner" will provide you with an increased advantage when killing innocents. No longer is your DNA an issue.
Silenced Pistol - Heavily disregarded but very effective once perfected. Once you become better with your accuracy, utilize the silenced pistol. Very quite and extremely deadly. One head shot and body shot (putt .... putt), dead. Especially if your victim is facing away from you, use the pistol. Take care not to miss as you will immediately be identified as a traitor. Note: Use with disguise as a covert-tactic.
Never Identify Those You've Killed - Upon killing your victim, identifying their body afterwards might get you killed fast. Players keep track of those they were with. As soon as they see that individual come up as killed, they may have enough reason to kill you. Only identify innocents as a last option. For example, suppose you execute an innocent and you notice someone entering the room. Make up a bogus scenerio explaining how the player you found died (ex: sniped, crowbarred ,etc.) At this point, noone knows how he died unless they have examined the corpse as well. As soon as the innocent who may be suspicious of you looks at the corpse, kill him as well.
