anyone knows the Shortname for the helisignals, where can I find them ? I tried grenade.smoke as shortname but it wont call in helis.
I want to add them to XDShop.

The information you require is on the first line of the plugin description page:

Quote

Heli Signals allows players with permission to call an Attack Helicopter to their location with a custom Supply Signal,

If you are unsure of a shortname anywhere in Rust, you should familiarise yourself with several sources online which list all item shortnames, I recommend this one by Corrosion Hour Look up "Supply Signal" and you will find what you need. This is the same for any other plugin which might need item shortnames. Use that page to look them up.

Hi, We are having the same problem as YaGirlBrit69, Players can buy a heli signal with RP, and when throwing them down nothing happens. Can you tell me if this is a permissions I need to change please? Thanks.

In console, its coming up: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

I was able to remove and re-upload and that has corrected it so far.

I tried this, threw one down and it worked. Then after this it stopped working again, even with cooldown cleared. Ive raised a support so hopefully get this sorted before force wipe.

Don’t get your hopes up, I am in the middle of moving house and the PC is packed ready to move on the 5th. I’ll look into it after I’m set up, but since only a couple of people are reporting this issue it’s likely an issue with your server such as a plugin conflict rather than an issue with my plugin. Otherwise loads of people would be experiencing it.

Often conflicts with plugins that act on supply signals or times explosives. So first of all look there and see if you can identify any such plugin you are using.

Thanks. I did think if it was a permission or conflict. Ill double check playtime signals, air drops etc and see what happens and let you know.

Are there cheat menu's that allow players to spawn in heli's? 
We have had an isse with a player that was able to call in heli's without using a signal.

Nope

There is no such option

The heli's dont seem to use their rockets
Only their machine guns

I've tweaked some settings in the config to try force them to use rockets and napalm, but still no luck

What am I doing wrong?

Suggestion: Players commonly abuse the difficulty of getting the loot by making the heli crash into the ocean.  We also dont want it to flee to the nearest monument, as that conflicts with people who may be running the monument.  Could we add an option to just flee in-land?  So if it is taken over water, it will flee back into land and crash on land instead of in the ocean?

There is a config option to prevent fleeing already. No option to make it crash only on land.

I know.  We already use the prevent fleeing option so that Heli fights stay personal and dont affect other players.

 I just meant adding the ability to prevent it from crashing in the ocean.  Flee to land option.  NPCs dont spawn if it lands in the ocean and it makes the loot too valuable for people that abuse it by making it crash in the ocean.  Thanks for the consideration.

Oh I see,  I will have a think about possible ways to achieve this and decide if it’s something I want to add

If this has been asked please accept my apologies. I have a player that purchaes 2 Easy Heli's and that player throws 1 of them. He then tries to throw another right away and it tells him there is a 5 minute cooldown but it returns the signal back to his inventory and also gives him another one. In other words it's duping. If he repeats this multiple time it keeps duping the Heli signals. I personally tried it myself as admin and it does not do this.  Any ideas what's wrong.

There are discussions regarding this already in these pages and in support section. Also on my Discord. The issue is because you are using a plugin which limits throwing supply signals, such as Signal Cooldown. There is a fix on my Discord.

Are there any plans to use alphaloot profiles for the loottable

I don't understand what you mean. If you want to use AlphaLoot for the heli loot, just leave the Heli Signals loot options false and enable Alpha Loot to manage heli crates.

i understand that but alphaloot now allows you to create multiple profiles for the loot and it would be better if we can specify what profile each tier needs to use for its loot
