About Buoyant Helicopters
Allows helicopters to float in water.
Features
- Allows Minicopters, Scrap Transport Helicopters, and Attack Helicopters to float in water
- Optionally requires vehicle owner or pilot permission for vehicles to be buoyant
- Configurable number, position and rotation of optional decorative inner tubes
- Configurable number, position, size and force of buoyancy points
- Configurable underwater drag for when crashing through the water's surface
- API and hooks allow for more powerful integrations
How it works
By default, all Minicopters, Scrap Transport Helicopters, and Attack Helicopters will be buoyant, with decorative inner tubes. The inner tubes are indestructible and cannot be picked up.When flying at low to moderate velocity, you can simply land on water and dismount.
When flying at high velocity, you may crash through the water's surface, causing the engine to shut off. The vehicle will then slowly rise to the water's surface. You may run out of oxygen if you choose to stay in the vehicle while waiting for it to surface.
While piloting a helicopter on the water's surface, you cannot drive it like on ground, but you can turn it in place by holding the down key and pressing left or right.
While the decorative inner tubes are configured to be dynamic, they will appear shortly after touching water, and they will disappear a few seconds after leaving water.
Permissions
This plugin uses the permission system. To assign a permission, use oxide.grant <user or group> <name or steam id> <permission>. To remove a permission, use oxide.revoke <user or group> <name or steam id> <permission>.Optionally, you may require that either the vehicle owner or most recent pilot have permission, in order for the vehicle to be buoyant. To do so, set "Require permission": true for the corresponding vehicle type in the configuration.
