The Chinook drops a crates at selected rad towns on map. and will drop ONE crate if brought down by players. Its not really meant to be shot down and will not engage a player if shot at like the heli. It will shoot at a player while trying to secure an area to drop a crate........RUST Chinook 47 Command, CH47 Helicopter Event

 

I know how it works, But it doesnt always drop a crate. Sometimes it just fly's around and dissapears without dropping

 

ok so i have removed the mod and still the same so its deffo not the mod the heli works fine i just can not hit the ch47 and 90% of the time there is no ai in the ch47 this is down to rust not the mod so keep up the great work

 

This should be fixed with the latest Rust & Oxide update.

It should.

Unfortunately, I have no idea why it would be doing this. Is there perhaps another mod of yours that's buffing the amount of damage players do, or perhaps re-lowering the helicopter's health?

If you wish to quickly grant yourself full access, run this in your console (with PlayerName being your in-game username or steam ID)

Code:

o.grant user PlayerName helicontrol.admin

Many people have reported this issue, I'm not sure there's anything you can do to fix it. Will probably just have to wait for a Rust update.

 

Shady757 updated HeliControl with a new update entry:

1.3.0

 

I tried the callch47 command and it says helicopter inbound but no heli comes?

 

Are you sure? Try typing /tpch47 or just waiting a few minutes longer.

 

Thanks alot mate, Got one other thing to ask you, If i call a helicopter on someone and they destroy it, it wont drop loot?

 

My bad helicontrol.nodrop did the trick,

Still my players complain that the heli just goes away after 5 mins of combat,
While alive time is 15 minutes, Does it just despawn if you fight it after 10 minutes being alive?
Cause it has double hp etc so it can take a while to kill it

 

I get this error on the new version:
Unable to find main plugin class: HeliControl
I just updated it.
1.29 is working fine.

EDIT: After two restarts it worked.
It is propably better to change the plugin version while the server is stopped.

 

My problem now is that people shoot heli and it just doesnt come/despawns or camps dome for 15 minutes even if it gets shot at

And yes i deleted and installed the new helicontrol while server being online,
Dont feel like restarting when 50 people online at least

 

I have no idea what would be causing this. HeliControl shouldn't, but on your next server restart, you can try removing HeliControl, testing a helicopter or two without it, then load it up again and see if the issue is back (if it was ever gone).

 

as a matter of interest does the CH47 actually shoot at anyone. it has flown past me a lot of times and just ignores me ? even if i shoot at it !

 

hello, have u look inside the ch47 is there NPC? if i spawn a ch47 the NPC are disapeare, but its not the plugin relevant because i use a older version 1.2.4
and on the other server we have this plugin not in use! so i think its a rust issue.

 

What ?
I dont know what you mean, as i have not shot one down i cannot look inside it . My question which you quoted was "does the CH47 actually shoot at you" ?

 

no he is not shoot at me, because there are no spawn NPC inside the ch47 on ours server. and i would just know if it just our server or a all over iusse.
and if u use as admin noclip and vanish u can fly inside the ch47 in the air and look if there are spawn NPC. sorry for my bad english.

 

The "normal" Helicopter does not have spawned NPC's in it and it shoots at you all the time,

 

anyone else having glitched CH47 issues ? on my server it drops thousands of crates and ends up lagging the server to the point of crash
I don't think it is this plugin but not really sure ? I am running magic loot and noticed it went crazy just after the CH47 went down

 

Heard of this issue a bit, but not sure what's causing it.

Definitely not this plugin, I've seen it reported quite a lot but never had it happen to me. Not sure what to tell you.
