    void Start() {
        // Retrieve a specific role
        var role = IM.GetRole("Leader");

        if (role != null && roleIconDisplay != null) {
            // Set the icon of the role to an Image component in the UI
            roleIconDisplay.sprite = role.Icon;
        }
    }
}

Remarks

• Role icons contribute to a more engaging and intuitive gameplay experience by allowing players to quickly identify and understand the roles of various characters.
