About SimplePatrolSignal
Simple Patrol Signal is a plugin for Rust that allows server admins to add a dynamic patrol helicopter event to their game. Players can summon a patrol helicopter to their location using a specially designed signal. The helicopter will arrive, patrol the area, and then depart after a configurable duration. This adds an element of excitement and danger, especially during combat situations.
