Laws Guide

The President has the ability to set the laws, which the Police and SRU enforce.

There are two main ways to do this.

Graphical User Interface
In the F1 menu, there is the laws tab. This allows for a President to do some basic things, as well as allowing for many different advanced uses, for more experienced Presidents.

Viewing Laws
This is a nice easy one. Go to the F1 menu, and click "laws", or do /laws and enjoy your laws.

Adding Laws
If you click on the laws tab, you can find a box for adding laws. 1. Click in the box, to select it. 2. Type your law. Ie. "All weapons are banned!" 3. Press Add Law, next to the text box. Alternatively hit "Enter" After this, the law will be added.

Removing Laws
Removing laws is similar, you first go to the laws tab then... 1. Find the law you want to remove 2. Press the Red X next to the law.

Chat Commands
There are chat commands, of course, for setting the laws. Some people don't like to use the F1 menu.

Viewing Laws
Almost as easy as the F1 menu, type /laws. This returns a list of the laws in your chatbox. Warning: If there are many laws, use the F1 menu, otherwise your chat gets spammed.

Adding Laws
Firstly, you type /addlaw in chat, followed by your law. Following the example above, you'd type in chat "/addlaw All weapons are banned!".

Removing Laws
Removing laws is fairly simple. First, get the ID of the law by typing /laws, or going to the F1 menu, and finding your law. You then type /removelaw ID. Let's imagine the "All weapons are banned!" law is the only law we made. To remove it, type "/removelaw 1" in chat.

Clearing Laws
Clearing laws (to type a different set, for example) is also fairly easy. Just type /clearlaws.

The Laws
Now we know how to make the laws, let's talk more about what laws to make.

Most Presidents have 4 main laws - And whilst this isn't a template, it's always a good start. 1. Speed Limits (Inside city, Outside city, mph, km/h etc etc) 2. Drugs are illegal. 3. Guns are illegal. 4. Contraband is illegal.

Some people put other laws, such as high walls being searchable, but realistically, those four are all that you need.

Just remember, that taking a bit of time to write the laws, so that they look good is always better than a few just slung together. Need help? Doctor Internet is the master of writing laws.
