HeliControl

When heli come to map - all players have lags and crash fps to 4 fps +-

 

I experience this occasionally too....

 

If you have Max Heli Rockets at a value higher than 12, it's currently causing issues. This will be fixed in an update coming soon.

 

Shady757 updated HeliControl with a new update entry:

1.1.7

 

How do you set Heli on a spawn timer

 

Code:

"Spawning - Automatically call helicopter after this many seconds": 0.0,
  "Spawning - Automatically call helicopter if one is already flying": false,

Change the above values in your config to whatever you wish.

 

Probably a stupid question. I'm new to this oxide thing and really have no programming exp. I have the addon installed but can figure out how to give myself admin powers to use the commands. The permission system has me confused. I just want to give myself permision as the admin to call the heli. I see reference to what to type into the "console" but I'm not sure where that is. Please help. thanks sorry to be such a noob! lol

 

example to give the admin group all permisisons at once

Code:

grant group admin helicontrol.*

Here its mainly the same like

Code:

grant group admin helicontrol.admin

or giving it only yourself

Code:

grant player yourname helicontrol.admin

 

Where do I type those commands though? That is what I don't understand

 

Clientconsole, Serverconsole or via RCON

 

the heli timer dose not work i have mine set to 2500.0 which should be around 45 mins but its coming in at 15 mins each time anyone have this problem

 

You can't use decimals... If it's done in seconds then using a decimal is invalid.

 

thats odd really because ive always had it like that and its always worked it just stoped working this update but ile change it and see what happens

 

I was just editing my previous comment. It appears that the way it is setup by default it has the decimal so it should either accept or ignore it anyway... By default helicopters don't even come every 15 minutes so it rules that out too. :/

Are you reloading the plugin after each change you make using oxide.reload HeliControl because that'll be weird otherwise. Haven't updated it myself just yet.

 

i am yes then reloading the plugin but ive taken our the decimal like you suggested and so far a helli hasent come im timeing it atm so hopfully thats fixed it

ok that fixed it

 

Excellent. I thought it was rather odd. Shouldn't have second guessed myself though...

Glad it's fixed for you anyway.

 

Is there a rust imposed limit on the number of helis on the map?? I ask because I was testing this mod and the /callheli command will allow me to call tons of helis OR at least it seems that way.

I trigger the /callheli command like 20 times and 20 times it says Patrol Helicopter Inbound... yet there are only 4 on the map...

As an admin I would think I have no limits... besides my "Spawning - Max active helicopters" is 3 not 4.

 

Ok so I'm still stuck, Ihave tried typing that into rcon. I am getting this response.
> grant player Seahawk27 helicontrol.admin <------I type this in rcon
Usage: grant <group|user> <name|id> <permission> <------- this then shows up

Now do I need to restart server for it to work or what? I still cannot call a heli in game. Real sorry to be a pain here but I am new to this server add on thing.

 

You need to type user rather than player... Grant player is not a valid command. That's why it's not working.

 

is it still possible to grant players the cool down feature for this plugin?

and if so, I have granted them helicontrol.callhelitarget and helicontrol.callheliself as it said to, and the helicontrol.cooldown.0 as well, but it claims they dont have permission
