Server rules

These switches control what the game itself allows players to do on your server.

The game's interactions

kcds.players.Interactions covers the game's single-player prompts. Most start switched off on a KCDS server until a resource turns them on, for everyone or for one player.

Name	What it controls	Starts
`horseWhistle`	the companion key's whistle that calls the player's horse	off
`playerTalk`	"Talk" and focus chat on another player	off
`trespass`	being inside private and prohibited areas (see below)	off
`cooking`	the prompt and use key at the game's fires	on
`smoking`	the prompt and use key at smokehouses and drying racks	on
`npcChatter`	the barks and lines of NPCs	on
`pointing`	the B key points the arm; see Animations	on
`npcTalk`	"Talk" on an NPC, the game's own dialogue	always off
`npcChat`	focus chat on an NPC, where the game provokes and insults	always off

npcTalk and npcChat cannot be turned on, because the game's NPC conversations crashed players' games (issue #627).

kcds.players.Interactions.set('horseWhistle', true);
player.setInteraction('playerTalk', true); // this player only; null returns to the server setting

With Interactions.set('smoking', false), the use key does nothing at smokehouses and drying racks, so your own hints are the only prompts there. To stop players gutting animals, call kcds.characters.Npc.setHarvestTable({}); see NPCs.

Private areas

The game's map marks some areas as private or prohibited, such as houses and the town jail, and warns a player inside ("You're in a private area!", "You are trespassing"). If you allow a player there, the warning stays off and the game's AI is told not to react to them.

guard.setTrespassAllowed(true); // this player only
guard.setTrespassAllowed(null); // back to the server setting
kcds.players.Interactions.set('trespass', true); // everyone without their own setting

To open a single place, turn this on when a player enters it and off when they leave, using Area.

To remove only the warning, call kcds.world.RestrictedAreaMarker.setEnabled(false). That affects everyone, and the game's AI still reacts as usual.

Camera

kcds.ui.ThirdPerson.setMode('disabled'); // 'allowed' is the default (F5 switches), or 'forced'
kcds.ui.Freecam.setEnabled(false); // the game's photo mode on F1

A scripted shot moves one player's camera to a point and later returns it:

const { Vector3 } = kcds.math;

kcds.ui.Camera.startShot(player, {
  position: new Vector3(100, 200, 25),
  lookAt: new Vector3(110, 210, 12),
  fov: 50,
  seconds: 3,
});

setTimeout(() => kcds.ui.Camera.endShot(player), 8000);

Other switches

Setting	Effect
`kcds.world.CombatMarker.setEnabled(false)`	hides the crossed swords under the compass in a fight
`kcds.players.Needs.setEnabled(true)`	turns on sleep and food needs, which are off by default
`kcds.players.Pickpocketing.setEnabled(...)`	see Dice and pickpocketing
`kcds.players.Inventory.setStolenMarks(...)`	see Dice and pickpocketing

Rules for one player

See Players for player.setPace(...) (no running or sprinting), setCuffed, putInPillory, kick and setKnockoutVision.
