This plugin is a mini-event where a bunch of NPCs are riding around in a helicopter and after a set amount of time need to land to refuel.
When the helicopter lands the NPCs get out of the helicopter, unload some loot boxes and stick around to protect it whilst it is refuelling.
Players can choose to attack the helicopter whilst it has landed to score some loot


Features:
- NPC's ride in the helicopter (max to 6)
- NPC's are customizable using Kits, or use default Scientist or Heavy Scientist NPCs
- Killing all the NPC's when the helicopter has landed will initiate a self destruct sequence for the helicopter
- Killing all the NPC's while the helicopter is flying will cause the helicopter to explode mid-air
- NPCs will return to the helicopter once it has refuelled to leave
- NPCs will stay in range of the helicopter to protect it from incoming threats
- Either give default loot when killing NPCs, or drop any, or all, of their current inventory

- Landing zones (LZ) are automatically generated at monuments depending on which monuments you have on your map, and which you have enabled in the config
- You can adjust monument LZ's using in-game chat commands
- You can create new LZ's using in-game chat commands
- The target LZ can either be randomly selected, or the helicopter can pick the closest LZ when it needs to refuel
- LZ's will become invalid if it is blocked by another vehicle, in which case the helicopter will choose an alternate LZ
- If players are near the LZ the helicopter will attempt to kill them prior to landing

- When the helicopter is landed it will deploy an amount of loot containers (set in config)
- These loot containers can either be default loot, or you can customize their contents in the config
- Loot containers are packed up when the helicopter is preparing to leave the LZ after refuelling

- Run events automatically

Great plugin for event PvE servers

Awesome concept, and a fun event, but it's really showing its age:
No options to edit NPC damage scale or aimcone scale, no loot % chance to drop (leaving loot tables "all or nothing"), and no more than 6 NPCs work for deploying from the heli despite more being configured. Thus, they end up being a little too easy to kill unless you just simply increase their health (which is configurable), and killing the Refuel Heli while flying ends up giving less of a reward that the regular Patrol Heli.

There's not a built-in way to have it replace the regular Patrol Heli, but this can be accomplished by other plugins. It would be nice to have this option, but not too big a deal, aside from when 2 helis (regular Patrol Heli and Refuel Heli) are on the map and players can't be sure which is which until it's close enough to notice that the Refuel Heli has NPCs aboard.

The plugin also has quite a large hook time and seems to be unoptimized. I assume it would need quite a bit of refactoring, and it seems to get updates mainly only to keep it functioning

The option to add custom LZs is quite nice, however, as is the option to show a map marker while it's at a refuel LZ. The customizable chat messages also add a fun element.

The way the heli is destroyed by the plugin when despawning off the map is picked up by DeathNotes as it being shot down, and the maintainer doesn't respond to requests about this issue. The lack of support response leaves me somewhat regretful about purchasing it.

In summary, there are newer event plugins out there that provide a lot more features and value at this price point, in my opinion, though it is still a unique and interesting event.

Plugin worked for me. Not sure what the other guy was complaining about. Probably has 1000s of plugins on his server and can't bother troubleshooting anything.

Only thing I wish it had was GUIAnnouncements so it doesn't spam the information in the chat, although that can be disabled.

Great plugin. Was broken for awhile and once it was fixed I was able to pull the trigger and buy it. Players love it and works like a charm.
