HeliControl

possible that you add a playercommand /heli, that player see when next heli spawn

 

Two at the same time isn't actually possible with the current version of the plugin. This functionality will probably be in the next update.

Sorry, I haven't had much time to check out HeliControl much recently. I don't think there's anything with HeliControl itself that should be causing you to not have loot drops. There's a quick way to test this though, if you haven't already. Unload HeliControl and call in a helicopter through the default command (I think it's heli.call) and see if that helicopter drops loot. If that works, then it's either HeliControl itself or a conflict.

I've already implemented this locally and it *will* be in the next update. Given how on and off this website has been recently, I'm not so sure when that update will go out.

When I unload the program, the crates drop on kill. When I reload it, nothing.

helicontrol.nodrop
try to revoke this permission

edit:

ooh i read a few Posts before and u say u did it

did recent update break this mod, cant load it anymore even with a full reinstall

 

So, I unload the plugin and it drops crates and the loot is from the custom file using AlphaLoot, but the health is 2k not the 8k I have it set to using helicontrol, which is understandable.
When I reload the plugin it does not drop any crates.

 

Anyone else getting reports of the Heli despawning mid fight?

Trying to pinpoint the issue and this is the only plugin that seems to have the capabilities to despawn it.

 

Yes. We have had a few cases of the heli despawning in the middle of a fight.

 

heli is on a timer to despawn so if it already on the map before someone sees it and shoots it - it will still despawn if it reaches it timer,regardless if anyone engages it or not.
It will not fly around the map until someone decides to take it down.
Try taking the heli not long after it appears on the map - bet u it dont despawn during the fight

 

That's pretty clear and well understood. I think what we are looking for is some option to have it NOT despawn during a fight, if possible. It's probably not possible.

 

The health of the helicopter is 2k without HeliControl? That doesn't sound right. The base health should be 10,000 by default. Are you certain there's no other plugins that may be modifying the helicopter?

Could you give more details? The plugin works fine on my end and no one else seems to have any issues.

As tomhud stated, this is default behavior of the helicopter in Rust, it has sort of a "safety timer". I'll look into it and see if the time can either be adjusted or disabled.

 

You forgot me @Shady757
I will enjoy a lot of controlling the spawn points of the helicopter. With the help of a year that I galley with that: p
Thanks!

 

That's a coincidence: i was just getting here to report something like the above. My heli is also breaking up in 5-8 minutes mid-air, while I have "Maximum helicopter life time in minutes" at 15. It also happens when I manually spawn in a heli. But it's random.

 

Ive heard alot of people complain on my server that heli doesnt aggro them after a couple bolt shots ^^ Not sure whatsup with that

 

I didn't forget you, I did mention your issue in any earlier post and I said I would fix it in a future update, that update just hasn't been coming along very quickly. I have been very busy lately, and updating HeliControl is not always on the top of my priority list, cause most of the plugin does work pretty well. With that said, I can say that I have full intentions to fix it in an update that I plan to have out some time within the next 1-2 weeks.

5-8 minutes mid-air is very strange, and I've never heard of it being that quick. Could you try upping the max life time minutes and seeing if it helps at all?

Are they shooting from a really far distance? If so, I think this is normal behavior.

I do not use the repeating timer in the coordinates I set. Do you know how to solve it

Same here. Ppl complaining that the heli doesn't fight back. Even if I fly near him and shooting he ignores me completely.
Thanks for your great and your time for that! A fix will be very welcome. Take your time.

Suggestion: making personally called helis loot locked until player that called it loots it.

I know it can be done. It's coded into Fancydrop for airdrops.

Thanks
