[RC] Back Protection 1.2.1

Description:
 

BackShield — Realistic Back Protection for Shields

BackShield adds a realistic and intuitive mechanic to Rust:

when a shield is worn on the player’s back, it actually protects the player from damage coming from behind.

This plugin is fully server-side, performance-friendly, and designed to match Rust’s visual behavior.

 

How it works:

• Shields provide back protection only when they are on the player’s back
• If the shield is held in hand (with pistols, tools, etc.) — vanilla behavior applies
• Protection works only for hits from behind
• Headshots always deal vanilla damage

Supported Damage Types:

BackShield protects only from:

• Bullet damage
• Slash damage
• Stab damage

The following are not affected:

• Explosions
• Fire
• Fall damage
• Headshots

Immersion Features:

• Correct hit FX depending on shield type:

1. Metal shield → metal bullet impact sound
2. Wooden shields → wooden impact sound

• When a shield breaks:

1. It is dropped from the player
2. A toast notification is shown:

    «Ваш щит сломался!»
    “Your shield is broken!”
