BS Patrol Helicopter

🚁 BS Patrol Helicopter - Apache AH-64D Looking to add a real endgame threat to your DayZ server? BS Patrol Event introduces a fully dynamic Apache AH-64D that patrols the map, engages players with advanced combat tactics, and yields highly contested crash sites with realistic physics, AI defenders, and custom loot. ✨ Key Features Advanced Combat AI: This isn't just a helicopter flying in circles. When attacked, it evaluates the threat level and switches between 4 dynamic tactical states: Orbit, Pull Back, U-Turn, and Attack Run. Realistic Crash Physics: No more magical mid-air explosions. When its health reaches zero, the Apache suffers mechanical failure, goes into a violent spin, and freefalls. Depending on its speed and angle, it will bounce or skid across the terrain before the final explosion. Lethal Weapon Systems: Equipped with a predictive-aiming turret, rocket pods (with double-shot chances when the heli is heavily damaged), and flare countermeasures. Blind Suppression Fire: If players shoot the helicopter from the woods and it loses Line of Sight, it will initiate a blind rocket barrage on the general area the damage came from. Dynamic Crash Sites: Upon crashing, it snaps nearby trees, damages players caught in the blast radius, and spawns burning loot crates that players must wait to cool down before opening. AI Defenders: Configure vanilla zombies or Expansion AI bots to guard the wreckage. Map Markers & Multilingual: Fully integrated with Expansion and LBMaster map markers. Built-in stringtables for multiple languages. 📖 Mod Guide 📖 https://github.com/cjcarw/BS-Patrol-Helicopter/wiki ⚙️ JSON Configuration Guide Upon first launch, a BS_HeliConfig.json file will be generated in your profiles/BS_PatrolEvent/ folder. The mod is 100% customizable. Here is what each block does: 1. EventSettings (General Event Rules) EnableEvent: Toggles the entire event on/off. MinPlayersToStart: Minimum online players required for the heli to spawn. SpawnTime / RespawnTime: Time (in minutes) for the initial spawn and subsequent respawns after a crash or despawn. CrateBurningTime: How long (in seconds) the loot crates stay on fire and locked. WreckDespawnTime: Time (in minutes) before the crash site cleans itself up (0 = persists until restart). 2. HelicopterSettings (Heli Behavior & Routing) HelicopterClassName: The vehicle class (default: BS_AH64D_Apache). HelicopterHealth: Custom max health. Set to 0 to use the mod's default config health. AggroWhilePatrolling: If true, the heli will actively engage players it spots during its patrol, even if they haven't shot first. PatrolAggroRange / PatrolAggroPursue: Detection radius in meters. If "Pursue" is true, it will abandon its patrol route to hunt the player down. SpawnPosition & PatrolPositions: The exact X/Y/Z coordinates for the initial spawn and the waypoints it will travel between. 3. Notifications (Server Alerts) EnableSpawnNotification / EnableCrashNotification / EnableDespawnNotification: Toggle global server UI alerts for each event phase. Icons & TitleKeys: Customize the UI icon and string references for local translations. 4. CrashDefenders (Wreckage Guards) EnableDefenders: Toggles NPCs guarding the crash site. DespawnRadius / DespawnCheckInterval: Cleans up the AI to save server performance if no players are within this radius for the set interval. Defenders: An array where you configure the enemy classes, amounts, night-time extra spawns, and Expansion AI specifics (Faction, Loadout, Unlimite
