Idea:
A shop system to be implemented into some (or all) Murder Mystery maps.
More info:
The coin system in Murder Mystery is relatively pointless other than the few bonuses in effects on some maps and the one-shot bow for innocents. I have a few suggestions on a good use for coins so that it will encourage more players to collect coins, rather than mindlessly run around the map.
A shop board can be placed in the map to allow players to purchase useful items in exchange for coins they have collected throughout the game, varying in prices and usefulness. A list of items I will suggest will include:
- Ender Pearls or Teleporter Arrow (teleports you quickly to another part of the map)
- ‘Glow Shoes’ (allows the player to see the outline of all players for a limited time, even behind walls, like spectral arrows)
- ‘Revival Herb’ (An item that when held upon death will automatically teleport you to a random location within the map, however the death will be accounted for in player statistics)
- Arrow shot (player will receive a bow and one arrow to have the opportunity to shoot a suspect. This feature would rid the one-shot bow already in use when a player collects 10 coins)
A few items that only the murderer may have access to could be:
- ‘Myopia Blast’ (An explosive powder sprinkled onto the murderer’s sword that erupts when a player is killed, giving blindness to any nearby innocents or sheriffs)
- ‘Switcheroo’ (An item that temporarily gives a random player a fake sword that they cannot hide for a limited time)
- ‘Death Nest’ (A trap that can be placed that will kill any player who runs over it, including the murderer.
I hope you all like these ideas. Let me know what you think. I will also be putting towards several other ideas to help improve the Murder Mystery game mode. Thank you very much!
