HeliCommander

HeliCommander 0.3.18



Currently implemented features:
- Optional custom flight controls and mechanics for the Patrol Helicopter (UH1Y), the Chinook (CH47) , the Minicopter and the Scrap Transport Helicopter
- Working rocket launchers and machine guns (UH1Y)
- Weapon ammunition system (UH1Y)
- Crash detection and damage system (UH1Y)
- Health, fuel and ammunition UI
- Customizable inventory and fuel systems
- Customizable passenger options with Friends and Clans support
- Customizable repair systems
- Option to allow players to spawn helicopters (with cooldowns)
- Option to allow players to build helicopters (with cooldowns) using specified resources

Default Controls:
w - Tilt forward
s - Tilt backward
a - Roll left
d - Roll right
Shift - Throttle up
Control - Throttle down
e - Enter
space - Exit
r - Inventory access (from outside the vehicle)
mouse look - Yaw left and right
e - While piloting will lock yaw so you can look left and right
Mouse 1 - Fire machine guns (Fires the guns relative to the direction you are facing)
Mouse 2 - Fire rockets

** Note : Due to the lack of buttons sent to the server from the client all controls besides YAW (turn left/right) are set to buttons. Because of this the yaw is adjusted based on the direction the pilots camera is facing ex. Look left -> Turn left / Look right -> Turn right. There is a slight 'dead zone' when facing straight ahead to prevent the helicopter from turning due to a small degree of camera angle

Commands
/spawnhc uh1y - Spawn a UH1Y where you are looking. This command uses the spawn cooldown system (Requires permission ' helicommander.canspawn.uh1y ')
/spawnhc ch47 - Spawn a CH47 where you are looking. This command uses the spawn cooldown system (Requires permission ' helicommander.canspawn.ch47 ')
/spawnhc mini - Spawn a Minicopter where you are looking. This command uses the spawn cooldown system (Requires permission ' helicommander.canspawn.mini ')
/spawnhc transport - Spawn a Scrap Transport Helicopter where you are looking. This command uses the spawn cooldown system (Requires permission ' helicommander.canspawn.transport ')

/storehc - Despawn the helicopter you are flying. The helicopter must be parked on the ground and you must be in the driver seat. Using this command will reset the cooldown applied from using the spawn command and the contents of the vehicle inventory and fuel tank will be dropped on the floow

/buildhc uh1y - Build a UH1Y using items specified in the config (Requires permission ' helicommander.canbuild.uh1y ')
/buildhc ch47 - Build a CH47 using items specified in the config (Requires permission ' helicommander.canbuild.ch47 ')
/buildhc mini - Build a Minicopter using items specified in the config (Requires permission ' helicommander.canbuild.mini ')
/buildhc transport - Build a Scrap Transport Helicopter using items specified in the config (Requires permission ' helicommander.canbuild.transport ')

Console Commands
spawnhc <ch47/uh1y/mini/transport> <playerId> - Spawn the specified helicopter infront of the player with the specified ID
spawnhc <ch47/uh1y/mini/transport> <x> <y> <z> - Spawn a the specified helictopter at the co-ordinates provided

Saving helicopters through plugin reload or server restart
To save command spawned helicopters through plugin reload or server restart add the "save" argument to the end of the command ex. "/spawnhc uh1y save" or "spawnhc uh1y save"

To save auto-spawned helicopter set the config option "Save helicopters spawned through the spawn system through reloads/restarts" to true for the applicable helicopter types

Works flawlessly! Just one MAJOR issue for me.. there needs to be a way to mute the helicopter when unoccupied please!!! <3
Everything about this mod and the Author is Amazing. Thank You for this.
Nice Plugin but if the helicopter was destroyed, other players will hear it permanently at this point (Until Server Restarts).
Love the plugin but, it would we way nice if we could turn the heli off when not using!
Pretty nifty, would be much better if you could turn the sound off when it is parked.
