GreenlightRedlight

GreenlightRedlight - Rust Minigame Plugin

Bring the classic Green Light, Red Light challenge to your Rust server. GreenlightRedlight creates a dedicated arena at the Airfield, uses dynamic red and green lights to control the game, and turns every round into a fast-paced test of timing, movement, and reaction speed.

How Does It Work?

The plugin prepares a large arena and provides players with a 2-minute countdown to join the event. Players can teleport directly to the arena using the /tparena command and wait behind the starting line.

Once the game begins, the lights switch between GREEN and RED at unpredictable intervals.

GREEN LIGHT - Move forward.
RED LIGHT - Stop immediately.

Moving during a red light causes the player to be pushed backward and triggers a warning effect.

Successfully reaching the finish line means the player has completed the race.

Players are ranked according to the order in which they reach the finish line.

The plugin uses real in-game lighting and sound effects to make every transition clear and immersive.

Automatic Arena

The plugin automatically searches for the Airfield on the map and builds a dedicated arena using high stone walls.

The default arena is 30 meters wide × 90 meters long, with configurable wall spacing.

A map marker is also created so players can easily locate the event.

Dynamic Red & Green Lights

The arena continuously switches between red and green lighting.

Each transition occurs at a random interval between 2.5 and 5 seconds, preventing players from simply memorizing the timing.

Players inside the arena receive both visual and audio feedback whenever the lights change.

Automatic Game Management

The game preparation time can be configured, with the default setting being 120 seconds.

Before each game, players receive countdown notifications at 60, 30, and 10 seconds, followed by the final countdown.

Each game can last for a maximum of 10 minutes.

If players fail to reach the finish line within the time limit, the game ends automatically and the arena is removed.

Scrap Rewards

After completing the race, players receive Scrap rewards based on their final placement:

Rewards are given immediately when a player crosses the finish line.

Admin Commands

Server administrators have direct control over the event:

/spawnarena - Creates the arena and prepares a new game
/startgame - Immediately starts the game
/tparena - Teleports you to the active arena
/despawnarena - Removes the current arena

The plugin also provides the following permission:

greenlightredlight.admin

This permission allows administrators to manage the arena and event.
