RestrictedActions

The RestrictedActions module allows scenes to access sensitive (and thus restricted) functionality. It’s linked to the permission system, which scenes use to request the use of individual methods.

const RestrictedActions = require("~system/RestrictedActions")

Most of the restricted functionality is provided by this module, but there’s also restricted global functions .

The module contains the following methods and types:

• function movePlayerTo
• function teleportTo
• function triggerEmote
• function changeRealm
• function openExternalUrl
• function openNftDialog
• function setCommunicationsAdapter
• interface Vector3

Methods #

Each of the methods below is associated with a specific permission that can be requested in the scene manifest.

movePlayerTo #

Displace the player to a new position relative to the current one, and optionally set the camera target with vectors .

Requires the ALLOW_TO_MOVE_PLAYER_INSIDE_SCENE permission.

interface Request {
  newRelativePosition: Vector3
  cameraTarget?: Vector3
}

interface Response {}

function movePlayerTo(Request): Promise<Response>

teleportTo #

Reposition the player to an absolute world location given a by vectors .
