Heli Crash Event 1.2.1

Could you add functionality to only occur in specified zones

Does the plug in have the ability ONLY to run if a minimum number of players are online.

  "Minimum amount of online players to trigger the event": 5,

without this feature it just means free loot to anyone online overnight when server pop is low and they won be challanged

@nashslashIt does not at this time

@nashslash I'll get this added in an update.

@Richard Hertz I'll have to look into what this would involve. I know I've see a zone manager plugin out there. Maybe I could integrate with that to make this work. I'll see what I can do.

@Cahnuthat would be exactly what I am looking for

This has been added in version 1.0.1

It would be very nice if you could add (in analogy to the ArmoredTrain and Convoy plugins) two start/stop chat commands:

/HeliCrashStart

and 

/HeliCrashStop 

So we can trigger the event independent of the number of players...

Thanks a lot!

I've seen this happen a couple times now as well. I'll put something in place in the next version to prevent this.

A fix has been put in version 1.0.3 to prevent this. It will now delay the crash until the heli is over land.

Does the plugin have to spam the message to the server "Incoming Heli is malfunctioning it may crash somewehre." every 5 seconds?

It should be every 60 seconds by default and should only show up a total of 3 times with each event. I could add a config setting to hide the messages all together in a future version but if yours is broadcasting every 5 second you may have something else going on. I would try deleting the config and letting it regenerate in case it was changed to a bad value that may be causing it. Feel free to reach out to me in DM or on discord as well if you're still having issues after doing that and I can try to troubleshoot with you.

The message flooding happens so often it's almost impossible to see what anybody says in game. I only changed the number of players to activate. I see nothing that relates to the message. So  a configurable timer would be nice.

I tried to retest it by having helis spawn every 3 min and now I can't get it to recreate. It doesn't  even do the 60 second message. FML

I apologize I hadn't seen this post. Please open a support issue with any details you have around it and I'll be happy to look into it.

Can we edit the notifications? Doesn't seem to generate a lang file.

I keep getting two notification every time:

The plugin should generate a lang file where all of the messages can be edited. It’s name would be HeliCrashEvent

It’s set to post two notifications by default. One when it starts and another shortly before it crashes. I’m going to be posting an update soon to allow that to be configured.

But it doesn't..? I've had to edit the actual plugin to change the messages.

EDIT: They are generating now thanks.

Can he automatically add PVP areas

Hello , can I please have a link to the discord? I can't seem to find the link. Thank you, I have bought the bundle and Military Tunnel and have installed them all on my server at the same time, however when putting in any of the commands to start an encounter I get "Unknown command: HeavyExcavatorStart" for example regardless of which plugin encounter i'm trying to trigger.

I may look into integrating with a plugin like zone manager to do something like this automatically in the future but it doesn't currently do that. You would need to add a zone manually with your zone manager plugin for the moment.

My discord is: cahnu

It sounds like you may be having an issue with oxide itself if it's not recognizing commands. You can try the oxide.version command in the console to see if oxide is registering correctly. If not, you may need to reinstall that before plugin commands will work. Feel free to message me though and I can try to point you in the right direction. 

How would i find you on discord by just searching "Cahnu" ? I was referring to like a discord link that would get us all to the correct place. I have fixed the previous issue, however we have been playing with the HeliCrashEvent and for some reason the AI that spawn ignore any efforts put forth to have them roam. Regardless of being in combat or not., they will just stand perfectly in the same place. (They do aggro and shoot however)
