HeliControl

Unless you're saying the language message is wrong, that's completely intended.

You cannot use those commands on multiple Helicopters. The only other way around this is giving a selection when there is more than 1 helicopter, but if people want that, it's going to have to wait.

 

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense lol, doesn't help that I modified the lang to my liking.

 

Not sure if I'm doing anything wrong but it seems Custom Loot spawns is not working for us. I've edited the data file with loot but it drops other random stuff.

 

Do you have this enabled?

Code:

  "Loot - Use Custom loot spawns": true,

 

"Loot - Use Custom loot spawns": true,

and I've edited the loot in: HeliControlData.json in /data

 

Are you using BetterLoot or AlphaLoot? if so make sure to disable:

Code:

  "HeliCrate": {
    "includeHeliCrate": false,

 

We're using MagicLoot

 

Looks like there's no heli exclude section of the config therefore you're probably going to need to switch plugins or contact the developer, you could also try unloading the plugin and testing the heli loot to see if Magic Loot is the cause.

 

Looked at my server this morning and there were three Heli's on the server. Anyone else have this problem?

 

Either admin spawned them or you have a high max active helicopter amount.

Code:

  "Spawning - Max active helicopters": 1,

This limits the max active helis but can be exceeded if admin spawned.

 

We did an experiment and used /callheli and three helicopters spawned on the server..... So, I'm guessing when they default spawn we get three as well.

My setting is default, I haven't changed it.

"Spawning - Max active helicopters": -1

 

From one single /callheli you're getting 3? Therefore if you ran it 3 times you'd have 9 helis?

 

That's correct....

 

Hmm, that's really weird. Make sure you have the latest oxide + HeliControl and disable any plugins that interfere with the Helis.

 

I'll personally test this soon to see if it's an issue with this plugin or not.

Setting this to 1 will almost certainly fix your issue, though it's strange that you're having it to begin with. You are using the chat command, not the console command, yes? If you're using the console command, is it possible you're using a RCON tool to execute it? I believe a while back some guy was using RCON and it sent the callheli command 2-3 times.

I don't really know what would cause this aside from what I mentioned about RCON, but try checking your server's log/console after you run /callheli and see what it says.

 

I got it working half-ish. The loot gets applied but it seems like it's combining the vanilla and the loot tables in a weird way. Loot that I haven't specified appears in the crates and loot that do appears are 5x. Now I've tried making the loot less and let MagicLoot handle the multiplier.

What's weird with this is that if I reload the HeliControl plugin after the MagicLoot plugin the loot doesn't get multiplied, haven't done a lot of testing but just realised would it mean tables on HeliControl are the only ones specifying the loot ultimately fixing the problem?(Workaround)

 

Is there a timer you can set so you get the heli at random intervals ? or set times (20-60 minutes)
I have the latest updates of Oxide and HeliControl but get no Heli patrols at all unless I call them myself through chat or console

 

Until now I haven't heard of MagicLoot, so I can't really say much on this. I can look into how it works, but ultimately if the loot works properly on HeliControl without MagicLoot, then it's not much of my issue, and perhaps instead an option to toggle it for heli crates should be included in MagicLoot.

You can set it to spawn after a certain amount of time, but it's not randomized. Only exactly what you set it to.

 

I tested again this morning and only one heli spawned.....so, I'm not really sure what the deal was yesterday. Seems fine tho, now.

 

Every time a Heli is on the map, all players get kicked. it happens every time within the first minute the heli is flying. Error attached as image.
