Convoy 3.0.6

First time posting here. Loving the mod, my players love it too but I have been tweaking things to make it work more with our playstyle and I have a quiestion.

I've disabled allowing autoturrets to attack convoys as players were building ridiculous turret filled deathtraps to farm convoys easily. To compensate I've extended how far you can attack from and still do damage but the NPC's no longer swarm and attack en masse. They come one by one to die with little challenge. I'm sure there is some sort of setting for this but I haven't been able to find it yet. Thanks in advance.

Heya, sounds like your NPC's all have different attack, aggression and detection ranges.
Which I would expect overall,     but  if they are very diffierent within each convoy preset then this can have the result you described.

To have the whole convoy come to the attacking player(s)  You will want to make sure the "chase range" is as far as the "sense range" and that thsoe numbers match your damage limit distance. 

If you want the NPC to always detect the player then also make sure the below option is set to False:

"Detect the target only in the NPC's viewing vision cone?": true,

Hope that helps

This actually sounds great. I'll go through the convoys and adjust those values to match the range at which players can attack from. That does sound like it should work (I never noticed those values before, I'm pretty new to this). Thanks for your help.

 "Aim Cone Scale": 0.8,

Hello author, what does this mean?
The smaller the value, the more precise the NPC's aiming?

Hello,

Is possible to add permission for /convoystart and /convoystop ?

Thx

Just wanted to let you know that editing these values definitely helped me get a lot closer to what I wanted. Will continue to refine them and will probably get about 90% of the way to what I was hoping which will be great.

One other quick question if anyone knows. What does the "Scale damage" value control on NPC configurations?

Is their any way to get the NPCs in the convoy and armoredtrain plugins to target the drones? PLayers can use drones and destroy hard difficulty events pretty fast, without the drone even being seen by the bots.

Drones cannot hurt NPC's

I wonder about this for a while now.

Why are there always 2 crates left shown above when there is no more crate to loot left?

Do you take the loot from the 2 trucks, you can jump on the truck from the front and look down in the loot compartment?

What?  I always used to just go in front of them. It's written Open but can never be opened.

Why is this made so complicated?!

That is false knowledge you spread. You can damage/kill NPCs with drones.

I'm also having problems where the event says it's running but no convoys are spawing. This started last wipe (I've been running this mod for many months now and never encountered this before). I can solve it by manually stopping and starting it but every once in a while it just seems to get stuck and not spawn anything automatically.

will downloading loot manager interfere with better loot plugin

Hi, no.
This plugin is designed only for managing loot tables in events.
it does not conflict with other loot plugins and does not change loot on the server.

Just a heads up. The version number is still "2.8.6" in the update.

Hi!
Im running a PvE server and using the plugins PvE settings.....
Today something strange happend......
A player attacked the convoy. Then another player sniped the last NPC and became the owner of the event and prevented the player that stopped the convoy from getting the loot. Both players was outside the eventzone when it happend.
But the one that stopped the convoy should have become the owner of the event, and the other player shouldnt have been able to do damage at all to the convoy NPC's.

Here is my settings:
 

"PVE Mode Setting": {
      "Use the PVE mode of the plugin? [true/false]": true,

      "The time that the player can`t become the Event Owner, after the end of the event and the player was its owner [sec.]": 0.0
