Heli Signals 1.2.32

Anyone else have an issue with the Heli not shooting rockets sometimes?  It is intermittent.

I have a suggestion, would it be possible to make the Discord event alerts to post embeds instead of the normal text?

It's possible, but will be for a future update. Once I have got on top of the few remaining bugs on this plugin I need to give Bradley Drops some love

Haven't had any reports from anyone else about this, no. I am working on Heli strafe to address another bug though and this will bring improvements which might sort this issue too.

Hello. I have a problem with the reward for the downed helicopter. if you shoot it down and it falls, you get a reward, but if it explodes in the air, then you don’t. How to fix it ?

This should not happen, unless you are using some massive gun/damage buffs on the server maybe?

However, this will be fixed in the next update.

"Minimum variance to number of rockets fired during orbit strafe (Default = -3)": -3,
"Maximum variance to number of rockets fired during orbit strafe (Default = 24)": 24,

What are these two parameters about?

"Maximum variance to number of rockets fired during orbit strafe (Default = 24)": 24,

They work with this config option:

        "Number of rockets to fire during orbit strafe (Default = 12)": 12,
 

Number of rockets to fire during the orbit strafe is set there, the default = 12. The variance allows you to specify the maximum variance either negative or positive of additional/less rockets to fire during an orbit strafe. So as default, it will fire a maximum of between 9 and 36 rockets during an orbit. ie 12 - 3 = 9 and 12 + 24 = 36. The default config options match the default Rust numbers for vanilla heli. The actual number is chosen at random between the specified range as set in the config.

thank you.

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE the ability to call helis via console.

to call the vanilla heli you can type in F1 "heli.call" "heli.calltome" or "drop" heli.call makes a heli spawn randomly on the map like the vanilla one does, heli.calltome calls the same heli but makes it travel to you, drop spawns one above your position

I know. I don't want to call the vanilla heli. 

One guy have helis you can console call easy shop set up. But no Heli Waves.

The other Heli Waves no command. 

Asked both. About to be a year now. 

only way i know how to do that is to run a command listed below and throw the custom supply signal. the top one is for a heli wave and the bottom one is for the easy difficulty, replace %steamid% with the players steam id you want to give the signal to

hsgive wave_normal %steamid% 1
"hsgive easy %steamid% 1"

I've already answered the request for a console call for the plugin, it's a feature I wont be adding as mentioned before. If you have them in a shop, just sell the Custom Supply Signals, why do you need a console command to call them?

With regards to Wave Helis, what are you asking?

how do you call in the nightmare? there is nothing in config file.

You must first create the profile in the config. By default the config has Easy, Medium, Hard and Elite. I provided other graphics for more levels at request, but they aren’t in the default config.

Since Facepunch emergency patch got released over the weekend has anyone else noticed that /hsbuy is complaining that you cannot affort the RP?

But I have plenty:

I saw the same issue with RaidableBases, but they released a patch and that fixed the RP issue.  Anyone else seeing this issue with /hsbuy?

Thanks!

Please clarify, you aren’t getting custom loot either? Are you talking about code locked hack able crates or normal heli crates? 

hackable crates, and just set to use my default loot table. not using custom loot
