Nodetect

About Nodetect

NoDetect Plugin

NoDetect grants players immunity from detection, targeting, and aggression by various Rust NPCs and defense systems. Whether sneaking past turrets or roaming freely through hostile zones, players with the right permissions can move undetected across the map.

Supports scientists, animals, turrets, traps, SAMs, Bradley, patrol helicopters, sensors & more
Fully permission-based — per-entity, per-player, and optionally command-toggled
Harmony patch integration for tin can alarm stealth
Includes chat commands for toggling scientist/animal immunity
Seamless integration with BetterNPC, AIBrains, and vehicle logic

Ideal for PvE, RP, PvP events, VIP roles, or stealth gameplay mechanics.

Features

NPC & Defense Stealth

Players can become immune to:

Scientists (including BetterNPCs)
Animals
Bradley APC
Patrol Helicopter
Turrets (Auto, Shotgun, Flame)
Landmines & Beartraps
HBHF Sensors
Tin Can Alarms (via Harmony)
SAM Sites

Granular permission support allows server owners to mix and match exactly which threats a player can bypass.

Command Toggle System

Players with the appropriate permissions can toggle detection immunity for scientists and animals:

/startscientist

Activates stealth mode for scientists

/stopscientist

Re-enables scientist aggression

/startanimal

Prevents animals from attacking

/stopanimal

Turns animal aggression back on

Players with nodetect.nocommand* permissions don’t need to use commands — immunity is always on.

Smart Detection Suppression

BetterNPC support includes sensory override (OnNpcTargetSense) for full aggro blocking
Built-in memory/cooldown tracking for NPCs recently attacked by a player
Advanced SAM detection bypass for vehicles: checks all mount points and passengers for permission
Patrol Helicopter & Bradley logic includes timed aggro and passive decay
