Configuration

Which jobs count as police is controlled by Config.PoliceGroups:

-- editable/shared/config.lua
Config.PoliceGroups = {
    ["police"]  = true,
    ["sheriff"] = true,
    ["swat"]    = true,
}

Examples

-- Gate an action behind a minimum cop count
local cops = KOJA.Server.GetCopCount()

if cops < 2 then
    KOJA.Server.SendNotify({
        source = source,
        type   = 'error',
        desc   = 'At least 2 police officers must be online.',
    })
    return
end

Callback

The cop count is also exposed as a server callback for client scripts:

-- Client
KOJA.Client.TriggerServerCallback('koja-heistlib:Server:getCopCount', nil, function(data)
    print('Cops online:', data.count)
end)
