About Lighthouse Event
Kill the officer, open the storeroom, crack the tugboats and sail one home.
Lighthouse Event raises a scientist outpost in open water: a lighthouse on a concrete platform, a pier, a camp and two tugboats moored alongside with the cargo aboard. Ten guards hold the outside. The officer with the storeroom keycard sits in a tent by the camp, and the courier upstairs carries the code to the tugboat cabins.
When the cargo is taken, the winner gets five minutes to board a tugboat. That boat is theirs to keep, unlocked and fueled. The other one is gone. The event runs on its own timer and works on PvE and PvP servers. You don't edit the map: the plugin finds a spot in deep water next to the cargo ship route, builds the outpost at start and removes it at the end.

Assault
The event opens with a 60 second countdown. Players get the grid in chat and a marker on the map, but the zone stays closed while the tugboats moor and the guards take their posts. Anyone already inside the 100 meter zone gets moved out past the border. Ten guards with 200 HP and Thompsons hold the lower pier, the main deck, the second floor and the roof, where two auto turrets with 750 HP back them up. The officer, 250 HP, waits in a tent by the camp. Building is blocked inside the zone, and so are tpr, home and tpa. The event lasts 30 minutes and starts on its own every 2 to 3 hours.
The Storeroom
Kill the officer and take the Officer's Keycard off his body. The storeroom reader accepts it once all ten guards outside are dead too. A regular green card won't open it, and the door takes no damage. Inside is a locked crate with a 5 minute hack. Lose the keycard and a new one turns up at the storeroom door.
The Tugboats
The courier, 250 HP, carries a note with the four-digit code for the tugboat cabins. He's on the second floor of the lighthouse, and seven guards with 250 HP and MP5s hold the floors inside. The code only works once the storeroom is open, and a lost note turns up at the storeroom door as well. Each tugboat has a deck guard, three cabin doors on code locks, a locked crate and four elite crates. Nobody sails off early: until the event ends, the tugboats sit at anchor with empty tanks and take no damage. A colored marker floats over the current objective within 60 meters: the officer, the keycard, the storeroom door, the note, then the tugboats that still hold cargo. Each step also shows in chat and as a game tip.
The Tugboat Is Yours
Open both locked crates on the tugboats and the cargo is taken. The winner gets the payouts from your config right away: the event owner with PveMode, or the player who dealt the most damage without it. Then they have five minutes to get aboard. Whichever tugboat the winner or a teammate is standing on is theirs. Its locks come off and 50 low grade fuel goes in the tank. It stays on the server after the event. The other tugboat disappears. If the 30 minute timer runs out before the cargo is taken, nobody gets a boat. The lighthouse clears either way.
