AirdropSpeedControl is an Oxide/uMod plugin for Rust servers that gives administrators direct control over supply signal airdrops and random server airdrops. The plugin includes a permission-protected in-game UI, configurable airdrop speed settings, drop positioning, fall speed control, pink supply-drop smoke, test-drop buttons, preset buttons, and safe cleanup tools. It is designed to work as a standalone airdrop controller while staying friendly with LootDefender and Loottable setups. Main Features Permission-Protected Admin UI The plugin provides an in-game UI that can be opened with: /dropspeed Only players with the required permission can open and use the UI: airdropspeedcontrol.use The UI allows admins to change airdrop behavior without editing the config manually every time. Signal Airdrop Control The plugin can control airdrops triggered by supply signals.Configurable signal airdrop options include: Enable or disable signal airdrop control Plane speed multiplier Plane height offset Drop position radius Supply signal smoke duration Plane spawn delay after signal throw Supply drop fall drag Pink smoke on supply drop Pink smoke duration The position radius controls how accurately the drop lands near the supply signal. 0 = exact supply signal position Higher value = random position within that radius in meters Random Server Airdrop Control The plugin can also control normal random server airdrops. Configurable random airdrop options include: Enable or disable random airdrop control Plane speed multiplier Plane height offset Supply drop fall drag Pink smoke on supply drop Pink smoke duration Optional direct supply drop handling Random server airdrops do not use position radius because they are meant to remain random by nature. Plane Speed Control Plane speed can be adjusted separately for: Signal airdrops Random server airdrops This is controlled by a multiplier. Example: 1 = default speed 2 = twice as fast 5 = much faster Plane Height Offset The plane height can be adjusted with a height offset. Example: 0 = default height -100 = lower plane path 100 = higher plane path This can be useful if you want faster, more direct-looking drops. Supply Drop Fall Drag The plugin can control how fast the crate itself falls. Lower drag means the crate falls faster. Example: 0.6 = normal/default style 0.2 = faster falling crate 0.05 = very fast / near instant style Pink Supply Drop Smoke The plugin can add pink smoke to supply drops. The smoke uses the Rust supply signal smoke effect and is attached to a helper entity created by the plugin. This allows the smoke to: Follow the crate Stay upright Be timed Be removed when the crate is looted/destroyed Be cleaned manually if needed Pink smoke duration behavior: 0 = smoke stays until the crate is looted/destroyed 1-3600 = smoke stays until the timer ends or the crate is looted/destroyed The maximum pink smoke duration is: 3600 seconds / 1 hour Supply Signal Smoke Duration The thrown supply signal smoke can also be controlled. This is separate from the pink crate smoke. Supply Signal Smoke Duration Seconds This controls how long the original thrown supply signal keeps smoking. Test Drop Buttons The UI includes test buttons: Test Signal Drop Test Random Drop These allow admins to test settings quickly without waiting for natural airdrops. The signal test drop spawns a supply signal at the admin’s current position. The random test drop calls a random managed airdrop using the random airdrop settings. Presets The UI includes presets for both sections: Signal presets Random presets Available presets: Default Fast Instant Presets do not immediately apply permanently. They load values into the UI, and you must press Save to apply and store them. Session Reset The UI includes a reset button. This resets unsaved UI changes back to the last saved config values. It does not wipe the full config. It only resets the current editing session. Manual Smoke Cleanup The plugin includes a safe smoke cleanup command: /dropspeedcleansmoke This command is protected by the same permission: airdropspeedcontrol.use It only removes smoke helper entities created and marked by this plugin. It does not remove normal spheres, drones, or other plugin entities. The UI also includes a Clean Smoke button that performs the same safe cleanup. LootDefender-Friendly Behavior The plugin detects if LootDefender is loaded. It can preserve LootDefender-related ownership and skin information on supply drops. Relevant option: Preserve LootDefender OwnerID And SkinID This helps avoid breaking LootDefender protection/locking behavior. Loottable Compatibility The plugin detects if Loottable is loaded. It can block Loottable from also handling supply signals so both plugins do not fight over the same airdrop. Relevant option: Block Loottable From Handling Supply Signals Permission Grant access with: oxide.grant user <steamid> airdropspeedcontrol.use or for a group: oxide.grant group admin airdropspeedcontrol.use Commands Chat Commands /dropspeed Opens the AirdropSpeedControl UI. Requires: airdropspeedcontrol.use /dropspeedcleansmoke Cleans up marked pink smoke helper entities created by this plugin.

Plane Speed Multiplier "Plane Speed Multiplier": 3.0 Controls how fast the cargo plane flies for supply signal drops. 1 = normal speed Higher = faster plane Plane Height Offset "Plane Height Offset": 0.0 Adjusts the cargo plane height. 0 = normal height Negative = lower Positive = higher Drop Position Radius "Drop Position Radius Meters (0 = exact signal position)": 0.0 Controls how accurate the supply signal drop position is. 0 = exact position 100 = random position within 100 meters Supply Signal Smoke Duration Seconds "Supply Signal Smoke Duration Seconds": 30.0 Controls how long the original thrown supply signal smoke lasts. Plane Spawn Delay Seconds After Signal Throw "Plane Spawn Delay Seconds After Signal Throw": 3.3 Delay between throwing a supply signal and spawning the cargo plane. Supply Drop Fall Drag "Supply Drop Fall Drag (lower = faster)": 0.6 Controls how quickly the crate falls. Lower = faster Higher = slower Pink Smoke On SupplyDrop "Pink Smoke On SupplyDrop": true Enables pink smoke on the supply drop crate. Pink Smoke Duration Seconds "Pink Smoke Duration Seconds (0 = until looted)": 60.0 Controls how long the pink crate smoke stays. 0 = until crate is looted/destroyed 1-3600 = seconds Random Server Airdrops Enabled "Enabled": true Enables or disables plugin control for random server airdrops. Plane Speed Multiplier "Plane Speed Multiplier": 2.0 Controls random airdrop cargo plane speed. Plane Height Offset "Plane Height Offset": 0.0 Adjusts random airdrop cargo plane height. Supply Drop Fall Drag "Supply Drop Fall Drag (lower = faster)": 0.6 Controls random drop crate fall speed. Pink Smoke On SupplyDrop "Pink Smoke On SupplyDrop": true Enables pink smoke for random airdrop crates. Pink Smoke Duration Seconds "Pink Smoke Duration Seconds (0 = until looted)": 60.0 Controls random drop pink smoke duration. 0 = until looted/destroyed 1-3600 = seconds Apply To Directly Spawned SupplyDrops Without Plane "Apply To Directly Spawned SupplyDrops Without Plane": false Controls whether the plugin should also apply random drop settings to supply drops that spawn directly without a cargo plane. Usually leave this disabled unless another plugin spawns direct supply drops and you want AirdropSpeedControl to affect them. Compatibility Preserve LootDefender OwnerID And SkinID "Preserve LootDefender OwnerID And SkinID": true Keeps LootDefender-related ownership/skin behavior intact where possible. Recommended: true Block Loottable From Handling Supply Signals "Block Loottable From Handling Supply Signals": true Prevents Loottable from also controlling supply signal airdrops when AirdropSpeedControl is handling them. Recommended if you want this plugin to control supply signal drops. Cleanup Smoke Helpers On Reload "Cleanup Smoke Helpers On Reload": false Controls automatic smoke helper cleanup on plugin reload/load. Recommended: false Manual cleanup is safer with: /dropspeedcleansmoke or the Clean Smoke button in the UI. Debug To Console "Debug To Console": false Enables debug messages in the server console. Useful for testing, but normally leave disabled. UI Color Options All UI colors use Rust CUI color format: R G B A Example: "Button Color": "0.361 0.443 0.212 1" Where: R = red G = green B = blue A = alpha / transparency Values usually range from: 0.0 to 1.0 UI color options include: Main Background Color Header Color Header Text Color Footer Color Footer Text Color Section Background Color Label Text Color Input Background Color Input Text Color Button Color Button Text Color Small Adjust Button Color Small Adjust Button Text Color Toggle Enabled Color Toggle Disabled Color Danger Button Color Tip Text Color Notes The manual smoke cleanup only removes helpers created and marked by AirdropSpeedControl. It does not remove normal server spheres, drone spheres, admin-placed spheres, or other plugin entities. The plugin uses a marker skin ID internally to identify its own smoke helpers safely.
