NoDetect Plugin

NoDetect grants players immunity from detection, targeting, and aggression by various Rust NPCs and defense systems. Whether sneaking past turrets or roaming freely through hostile zones, players with the right permissions can move undetected across the map.

• Supports scientists, animals, turrets, traps, SAM sites, Bradley APC, patrol helicopters, sensors, and more
• Fully permission-based with per-entity and per-player control
• Optional command-toggled immunity for scientists and animals
• Harmony patch integration for Tin Can Alarm stealth
• BetterNPC support, AIBrains support, and vehicle passenger checks

Ideal for PvE, RP, PvP events, VIP roles, or stealth gameplay mechanics.
