Paratroopers

About Paratroopers

Paratroopers can be deployed to either a random location or to a static pre-defined location or to a players location via chat and console commands. Paratroopers Event can also be called to any Vector3 position using an external call from another plugin. Options to deploy a Supply Drop or a Hackable Crate with a Bradley APC to also defend. Newest update has an option to allow a Patrol Helicopter to Spawn in and Defend the Loot with the Paratroopers.

Installation

NOTE: The Kits Plugin found at https://umod.org/plugins/rust-kits is OPTIONAL. Please go to the Kits page and see how to setup a kit for your Paratroopers to use. If you just add your kits names without actually setting a kit using the Kit process itself, your paratroopers WILL USE THE DEFAULT SCIENTIST SUITS.

Instructions, Simple install plugin, go to the config file in your conf folder, edit and save, reload plugin. Done.

For Developers

To call this from a different plugin, use the CallParatroopers() method.

1. Pass in a Vector3 position to send the Paratrooper Event to,
2. Set the number of paratroopers to deploy
3. Set a name of a kit - NOTE: Set to null to use random kits.
4. Set health to a number higher then 0 if you want to change the health amount.
5. Set to use random Kits true or false - NOTE: If you are not providing a kitname, set this part to true.

Some Example calls from another plugin:

//API CALL
/*
* Vector3 jumperPosition - location to deploy paratroopers
* JumpCount - how many paratroopers to deploy
* jumperKit - If you want to call your own kit null will give a preset NPC loadlout
* botHealth - Health to spawn paratroopers with
* randomKit - bool for using a random kit set to true no kit is defined use preset set to false if using your own kit
* drop - default is set to false, true will allow for a Supply Drop/Hackable Crate and Bradley
*/
CallParatroopers(Vector3 jumperPosition, int jumperCount, string jumperKit, int botHealth, bool randomKit, bool drop =  false);

//Setup using a kit, for 10 paratroopers with 1200 health
Paratroopers?.Call($"CallParatroopers", coordinates, 10, "kit1name", 1200, false, false);

//Setup using the default kits setup in the config, for 10 paratroopers using the default health in config
Paratroopers?.Call($"CallParatroopers", coordinates, 10, null, 0, true, false);

Troubleshooting

Question: I have set the Paratroopers to use random loot but I am getting errors or not the right items
Answer: You have to set the Min & Max items to spawn between at least 2 min and a min-Max setting of at least 5. You must also have at least 5 items for it to randomly choose from, if not it will spawn in default Rust Loot.

Question: My Paratroopers are spawning naked
Answer: You have kits that do not exist, you can use the default Scientist outfits by making sure kits look like this if you do not have any kits - "NPC Paratrooper Kit to be used (chosen at random)": [ ]
