Unable to damage called Heli Signals

Hello,

I'm trying to use this plugin but I can't damage the helis. I'm not sure what would be causing this. My server is PVE with PVP zones, using TruePVE, Dynamic PVP and Spawn Everything. These are the only plugins I can see that would affect this potentially, but I've checked and don't have any settings that should be making these immune. Are you able to offer any input to what might be causing it? 

I appreciate the help in advance!

First thing to do would be to test the plugin with TruePVE unloaded and confirm you can damage the helis without it loaded. If you can, then you need to edit your TruePVE rulesets to allow players to damage the helicopter.

Ok good idea. I'll go ahead and do that and report back. I'll update once I have that answer. Thanks for the feedback.

I am able to damage the regular Patrol Heli without issue. It's only the HS ones that I have a problem with. Here's my settings related to it. 

  {
      "name": "default",
      "enabled": true,
      "defaultAllowDamage": false,
      "flags": "HumanNPCDamage, LockedBoxesImmortal, LockedDoorsImmortal, PlayerSamSitesIgnorePlayers, TrapsIgnorePlayers, TurretsIgnorePlayers",
      "rules": [
        "anything can hurt dispensers",
        "anything can hurt resources",
        "anything can hurt barricades",
        "anything can hurt traps",
        "anything can hurt heli",
        "anything can hurt npcs",
        "anything can hurt players",
        "nothing can hurt ch47",
        "nothing can hurt cars",
        "nothing can hurt mini",
        "nothing can hurt snowmobiles",
        "nothing can hurt ridablehorses",
        "cars cannot hurt anything",
        "mini cannot hurt anything",
        "ch47 cannot hurt anything",
        "scrapheli cannot hurt anything",
        "players cannot hurt players",
        "players cannot hurt traps",
        "guards cannot hurt players",
        "fire cannot hurt players",
        "traps cannot hurt players",
        "highwalls cannot hurt players",
        "barricades cannot hurt players",
        "barricades2 cannot hurt players",
        "mini cannot hurt mini",
        "npcs can hurt players",
        "junkyard cannot hurt anything",
        "junkyard can hurt cars",
        "players cannot hurt tugboats",
        "heliturrets cannot hurt players"
      ]
    }
  ],

    {
      "name": "heli",
      "members": "PatrolHelicopter",
      "exclusions": ""
    },

I don't see anything that would exclude damage to a custom patrol heli.

For your heli group, try changing "PatrolHelicopter" to "BaseHelicopter", see if that helps.

Also, "heliturrets cannot hurt players" Really??  Why you make it so easy for them? If you make things too easy, players get bored.

Sorry for delayed response. It was the Dynamic PVP plugin. I modified that and it's all good now. Thanks for being so responsive! And yeah I suppose I didn't realize that was in there. I removed it though, thanks for pointing that out
