Halloween

He does not run. He does not talk. He does not stop.
Somewhere on your map, Michael Myers is walking towards one of your
players. Only that player hears the music. Only that player sees the
warning on the screen. Doors will not save them. Bases will not save
them. Towers will not save them. And when they finally put him on the
floor for the third time... they BECOME him.
HALLOWEEN turns any Rust server into a horror movie, all on its own.
No commands needed. No admin work. Install it and the hunt begins.
WHAT IS IN THE BOX
Michael Myers, an intelligent hunter NPC that stalks one player at a time, anywhere on the map.
A music system: the Halloween theme follows the killer, and only his victim can hear it.
A scheduled event cycle with chat announcements for the whole server.
The transformation: a player who beats him becomes Michael Myers, with his outfit, his knife, his immunity and five special powers on a selection wheel.
Rewards for every kill made as Michael Myers.
One configuration file with more than 100 settings, every one of them explained in plain words.
100% automatic. Players need no commands, there are no permissions to set up and no other plugins are required.
One optional admin command, /mm, for the server owners: become Michael Myers yourself at any moment, and type it again to stop.
PVE MODE:
Made for PvE servers. One switch in the configuration and Michael Myers
becomes a PvE killer: the player who turns into him cannot hurt other
players at all. His knife, his bees, his radiation and his slow are
harmless to people. Instead he hunts the server's NPCs: the wheel's
teleport drops him next to a random scientist, every power works on the
NPC he is fixed on, and every NPC he kills earns the same reward as a
player kill and heals him. NPCs shoot back at a fraction of the game's
damage, and they can never kill him outright: when his health runs out
he goes down, gets back up after ten seconds with full health, and only
the third knockdown ends him. He starts with full health, and radiation
and cold cannot touch him. The NPC keeps hunting players exactly as
before - the scare stays, the griefing goes.
TRANSFORMATION SWITCH
Decide whether your players can become Michael Myers at all. Turn it
off and beating the NPC three times simply shakes him off: he goes after
somebody else, nobody transforms, and the event runs as pure NPC horror.
The owners' /mm command keeps working either way.
NO SAFE ZONES FOR MICHAEL MYERS
The player Michael Myers is pushed back out at the edge of every safe
zone, in PvP and PvE alike. Outpost and Bandit Camp stay untouchable.
THE NPC: AN INTELLIGENT HUNTER
This is not a zombie that stands around waiting to be shot. Michael
Myers moves the way a player moves:
OPENS DOORS. He follows what the player did: a door opened or closed in front of him gets opened, crossed, and closed again behind him, so nobody's base is left open.
CLIMBS LADDERS.Up to reach somebody on a roof, down to follow them off it.
WALKS ON BASES.Floors, stairs and ramps built by players are ground to him, using Rust's own building navigation.
MOVES INSIDE MONUMENTS.He finds his way between crates, machines and walls instead of getting stuck on them.
CROUCHESunder low obstacles and inside zipline towers.
RIDES ZIPLINES like a player: walks to the launch point and takes it.
MATCHES YOUR PACE.Walk, and he walks. Run, and he runs.
SENSES YOU FROM FAR AWAY, through walls and behind his back. A hill will not hide you.
RESPECTS SAFE ZONES.He will not enter one. He waits outside, and the moment you step out, he is there.
SENDS THE BEES.Locked yourself in? Climbed where he cannot reach? A bee grenade lands at your feet, and the swarm counts as his kill.
NEVER DIES.Bullets, fire, falls, explosions: nothing kills him. Only headshots put him on the floor, and he gets back up with full health.
FREES HIMSELF.If he ever gets stuck, he finds another way; he never teleports through walls to cheat.
IGNORES TURRETS.Monument turrets, safe-zone turrets and player-built turrets leave him alone (configurable).
CANNOT BE LOOTED.Nobody takes his mask.
His look is yours to choose: any clothing, any skins, any held weapon.
He ships as the classic Michael Myers: blue jumpsuit, boots, the mask, and a butcher knife.
THE MUSIC
The Halloween theme plays from a hidden speaker that travels with the NPC. Only the hunted player hears it, and only while he is within range (100 metres by default).
Everybody else hears nothing until it is their turn. You can use your own songs: add a URL and its length, and the plugin chains them one after another.
THE EVENT CYCLE
- The server starts. Nothing happens... yet. The plugin draws a random time between 1 and 3 hours (configurable).
- The time comes. Everybody sees it in red in the chat: "MICHAEL MYERS IS HERE". The NPC appears 60 to 100 metres from a random player and starts walking.
- He does not let go. He hunts that player until he kills them. After a kill, he leaves the victim alone for a minute and picks somebody else.
- The hunted player sees the warning across the screen: "FLEE, RUN, BUT MICHAEL MYERS WILL NOT STOP UNTIL HE KILLS YOU", with three icons above the belt that show how close they are to beating him.
- Put him on the floor three times (30 headshots each) and the tables turn: the player becomes Michael Myers.
- The event ends when the player Michael Myers is put down three times, or after one hour if nobody manages to become him. "MICHAEL MYERS IS GONE, FOR NOW" - and a new countdown begins.
Beat him three times and a red countdown fills the screen. Then: "NOW YOU ARE MICHAEL MYERS".
The player's whole inventory is stored safely, slot by slot, and returned exactly as it was when the transformation ends. It survives server restarts. Nothing is ever lost.
They wear his outfit and carry his knife. The knife never wears out, cannot be dropped and comes back if thrown.
They cannot be killed. Only headshots from other players count: 30 headshots put them down, and three knockdowns end it.
The music now follows them, and the same three icons above the belt show the other players how close they are.
THE POWER WHEEL. Hold R and a wheel appears; move the mouse and release to choose. It works exactly like the game's own radial menu:
TELEPORT - appear right next to a random player, anywhere on the map.
BEES - a swarm on the player you are fixed on.
RADIATION - irradiate the player you are fixed on (clothing still protects them, as in the game).
SLOW - the player you are fixed on walks at 40% speed.
X - stop being Michael Myers whenever you want.
Every power has its own cooldown, shown on the wheel in seconds,
and every power can be switched off in the configuration.
REWARDS. Every kill made as Michael Myers earns a Supply Signal
(configurable item and amount), handed over the moment the player
turns back.
100% AUTOMATIC
Nothing has to be typed for the event to run. No console commands, no permissions, no other plugins. Drop the file in, start the server, and Michael Myers takes care of the rest. It works on any map, any size, any seed: the plugin measures the map itself.
ADMIN COMMAND
/mm (type it in the chat)
Only for the owners of the server: the players added with "ownerid" (auth level 2), saved in server/<your identity>/cfg/users.cfg. An owner who was just added has to reconnect once for the game to apply it.
Moderators and players cannot use it.
Type /mm and the red countdown starts. When it ends you are Michael Myers: the outfit, the knife, the immunity and the power wheel, exactly like a player who beat him.
Type /mm again whenever you want to stop. Your inventory comes back to the same slots.
If another player is already Michael Myers, the command says so and does nothing.
While you are Michael Myers the NPC is gone, as with any other Michael Myers. Three knockdowns end it and close the event, as always.
