Corrupted Drone Boss Event A giant Corrupted Drone boss that hunts players at your monuments. It thinks, dodges, shields itself and fights in phases. Kill it for crash-site loot, a damage leaderboard and rank rewards. Drop it in and it works: five monuments come ready with flight paths, and the drone shows up as a timed server event. Every monument gets its own profile, so you can run an easy guard at Junkyard and a nightmare at Launch Site on the same server. Features Smart AI. Picks its target by threat and hunts players who hide behind cover. Attacks that change in phases. Machine gun, cannon shells, napalm, homing rockets, artillery barrages and mine drops. Shield phase. Destroy the power cells to break the shield and stun the drone. Flares. Counters homing launcher missiles, so teamwork beats it. Homing launcher support. The vanilla homing launcher locks on to the drone like a helicopter. Event mode. "A Corrupted Drone has been spotted at Airfield!" It stays for a limited time, then leaves. Four respawn types. Timer, plugin load, daily schedule or event, set per monument. Damage leaderboard and rank rewards. Items, Economics, ServerRewards and commands for the top players. Crate lock. The top damage dealer's team gets the loot first. Loot your way. Built-in loot, Loottable, AlphaLoot or CustomLoot, set per monument. Health bar. Shows SHIELDED and STUNNED states. Map markers. Show health %, a respawn countdown, "Arriving in…" and "Leaves in…". Waypoint editor in-game. Draw any number of waypoints. The combat zone is calculated for you. Multi-language. Every player gets messages in their own language. Performance friendly. The drone sleeps (no AI, no physics) while no player is near. How a fight plays out The drone patrols its waypoints. When players come close it wakes up, picks a target and starts fighting. It uses its machine gun all the time, plus one special attack at a time, chosen from the current phase's list. Phase Health Default special attacks Behaviour Phase 1 100% – 70% Cannon shells, Mine drop Goes after the closest player Shield at 50% — Immune until the power cells are destroyed Phase 2 70% – 35% Cannon, Napalm, Artillery Flares on, hunts launcher users Phase 3 below 35% Napalm, Homing, Artillery, Mines Faster attacks, hunts the top damage dealer Everything in this table can be changed per monument. Special attacks Attack What players see Cannon shells Bursts of Bradley main-cannon shells at the target Napalm rockets Fire rockets that set the ground on fire Homing rockets Rockets that climb, then dive onto players Artillery barrage Smoke and a beep mark each player's spot. "INCOMING BARRAGE, MOVE!" Rockets rain down 3 seconds later. They land where players were, so moving saves you. Mine drop Landmines scattered under the drone. They arm after a moment and disappear after 60 seconds. They can't be looted. Smart AI Threat targeting. Each phase weights recent damage, holding a launcher, distance, low health and a random factor. The drone hunts whoever matters most. Line of sight. Hide behind a wall and the drone moves to a spot inside its zone that can see you again. Flares. When a homing missile gets close, the drone can fire flares, and the missile goes for the flares instead. Charges recharge over time, so a second missile right after the first gets through. Shield phase At 50% health the drone becomes SHIELDED. Hits bounce off, and power cells spawn around the monument. They show on the map and give off sparks. Destroy them all and the shield breaks. The drone is then STUNNED for a few seconds and takes bonus damage. If nobody destroys the cells in time, the drone repairs itself. When it dies The drone spins out and crashes. Its burning crates scatter around the crash site. Kill announcement in chat. Damage leaderboard showing the top players and their % of the damage. Rank rewards for the top damage dealers. Crate lock. The crates belong to the top damage dealer and their team for a few minutes. Respawn types Set per monument profile. Type Name How it spawns 0 Timer Respawns a random time (min – max) after it dies 1 Plugin load Spawns once when the plugin loads, never respawns 2 Schedule Spawns at set server times, e.g. 18:00 and 22:00 3 Event Only spawns through the drone event (default) Also per monument: Minimum online players. A due boss waits until enough players are online. Flies away when nobody comes. An idle boss leaves and frees its slot. The main config also caps how many bosses can be alive at the same time. Event mode Every 1–2 hours (configurable), the plugin picks a random event monument: Warning: "A Corrupted Drone has been spotted heading to Power Plant! It arrives in 1 min." Arrival: it stays for 30 minutes, with reminders in chat and a "leaves in…" countdown on the map. End: it's killed, or it leaves. If players are still shooting it when time runs out, it stays a bit longer. Then the timer for the next event starts. Default monuments These come with flight paths ready to go. They all use the Event respawn type, so you decide which ones use other types. ☑ Launch Site ☑ Junkyard ☑ Airfield ☑ Power Plant ☑ Water Treatment Plant Add any other monument with /drone addmonument. Waypoints are saved relative to the monument, so a path works on every map that has it. You can also use RustEdit map markers or any custom position. Note Any number of waypoints. The drone patrols your waypoints in order. Its combat zone is the outline around all of them, worked out for you, and it strafes, chases and drops mines inside that zone. See it all while editing. The waypoints show in green and the combat zone in yellow. The event area is a blue sphere and the attack radius a red one. Change those two radiuses live with /drone eventradius and /drone attackradius. Rewards and loot Rank rewards (per monument) Each rank (1st, 2nd, 3rd…) can give any mix of: Items (with skin, custom name, blueprint and chance) Economics money ServerRewards points Console commands with {steamid} and {name} Players below a minimum damage share get nothing, so one bullet doesn't count. Players who were dead when rewards went out get their items when they respawn. Crash crate loot (per monument) Loot type Value Source Default 0 The crate's vanilla loot (or your loot plugin's normal crate loot) Own 1 The plugin's own item list Loottable 2 A Loottable custom preset AlphaLoot 3 An AlphaLoot loot profile CustomLoot 4 A CustomLoot preset You also set the crate prefab, how many crates, fire around the crates, locking crates with fire, and how long until the crates disappear.
