Hi there.

A quick question - any idea how long crates stay before despawning. With the wave signals there isn't any time to loot before the next one comes in, is there a way to change the loot despawn time (i can see an option for the locked crate that is on 2hrs but nothing for the regular crate) or perhaps have a delay before the next heli in the wave spawns?

Thanks!

hi, after the update and skilltree update i noticed that you no longer get XP rewards after taking a heli down

Make sure you/your players have the skilltree.xp permission to receive XP. Also, there is a config option in SkillTree where if you are testing as an admin with God mode on, you may find you dont get XP:

Quote

"Allow players with god mode to receive xp?": false,

Make sure you are testing without God mode on, or change the config setting.

Heli Crates should stay for plenty long enough with good loot in, unless your players are taking a crazy amount of time to kill each wave. I will look to see about maybe adding an option for crate despawn, maybe there is a server convar you can check and see if you can use?

I'm having a problem with custom loot. I've set the minimum and maximum number of items in the crate to 6, but I'm only getting 3 or 4. How is that possible? I have over 30 items defined in my custom loot.

Have you got enabled in config to use custom loot?

Have you enabled to override default crates in loot settings 

Loot Options": {
          "Use custom loot table to override crate loot": true,

Check if you didn set for hackable crate to give 3 items

Are you sure you don't have another plugin interfering with the loot? I did re-write the loot logic which will be in an update in a few days. I think there may have been a small bug which might attribute to the item number, but not 2 or 3 less than expected. But I'm not 100% sure as I re-wrote this for Bradley Drops a while ago. If it's still not fixed after the update this week, let me know.

dose this change normal heli in any way?

No, but you can turn on an option to give a damage report for normal heli if you wish. It’s optional.

FYI: I realise I added the config option for wave cooldown delay, but this is not yet implemented, apologies. I will update this tomorrow with that added.

Hey ZEODE,

I applied todays update but since then, I'm getting errors and no loot is spawning when the heli has been downed. 

I have tried to revert to the previous version, use the previous config and also regenerate a new config - The error still persists though.

In future please use the support section for issues, to keep the discussion page clear for other related chat.

It would seem that for some reason there was a fault during the plugin load, specifically during the updating of the config file. Not sure what, but to fix it backup your config file, then delete it and reload the plugin. Then copy and paste your custom loot tables and any other changes to your new config. It sucks but it will fix it for you. It's almost impossible for me to see the issue, but one of your config values must have been null somehow.

Thanks for the reply ZEODE. We're giving this a try, and it seems to be working so far. It didn't want to regenerate the config before I posted.

EDIT: We found the null values and resolved those, thank you for pointing us in the right direction

I will use support from now on, sorry about that.

Hi there mate, just wanted to ask a question, 

 Can you lock the loot from the helis to the player that spawned them so when said player kill the heli the loot can't be looted by anyone else?

Yes, the loot can be protected to the player or team if you set it in the config.

thanks mate will be buying it now!

@ZEODE

Hi, how could I add another tier to the config? I currently have only Easy, Medium, Hard, and Elite, and I’d like to add Expert.

Hi, just copy one of the existing profiles within the config and then edit it to suit you. The expert and nightmare skin aids are on the plugin page or within the plugin file itself at the top.
