About

The HideRiders command hides player characters when they are riding tamed dinosaurs. Execute it with 1 or true to enable hiding, and 0 or false to restore normal visibility.

This is commonly used during server events, promotional screenshots, or when you want dinosaurs to appear unmounted in the world. The setting affects all players globally on the server.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I enable admin commands to run HideRiders?
In single-player, cheats are on by default. On a dedicated or hosted server, log in as admin with enablecheats <AdminPassword> first, then run cheat HideRiders <True / False>. Without admin access the console rejects it.
Can I run the HideRiders command over RCON?
Yes. Send cheat HideRiders <True / False> through RCON or your control-panel console. If the connection already runs with admin context, omit the leading "cheat". It works the same on hosted, self-hosted, and RCON setups.
