Allows for the configuration of additional Mini-Copter options, including the addition of storage containers to the Mini-Copter.

• Increase the Lift Fraction to increase the take off speed.
• Increase the Pitch/Roll/Yaw Torque Scale in order to make the Mini-Copter response to controls faster.
• Setting Fuel per Second to 0 will make the Mini-Copter use no fuel, but still requires 1 fuel to be placed into the fuel storage in order to run the Mini-Copter. This is a client side requirement.

Set Restore Defaults to true to restore the default movement and fuel consumption values on plugin unload. Storage Containers will remain unless Reload Storage is set to true. Warning: Unloading or reloading the plugin with Reload Storage set to true will destroy any player items contained in the Mini-Copter storage stashes.

Warning about high Lift Fraction values: Setting a high lift fraction can increase the risk of FlyHack kicks when a player has crashed the Mini-Copter. Seconds to pause flyhack when dismount from heli.: should solve the issue.

Developer Hooks

OnMiniCopterOptions

object OnMiniCopterOptions(Minicopter mini)

• Called when the plugin wants to modify a minicopter
• Returning false will prevent the minicopter from being modified
• Returning null will allow the minicopter to be modified, unless blocked by another plugin

OnMinicopterFuelPerSecChange

object OnMinicopterFuelPerSecChange(Plugin plugin, Minicopter copter, float[] fuelPerSec) 

• Called when the plugin wants to modify the fuelPerSec property of a specific minicopter
• Returning false will prevent the fuelPerSec property from being modified
• Returning null will allow the fuelPerSec property to be modified to the value in fuelPerSec[0] (which you can modify if you want), unless blocked by another plugin
• When used correctly, multiple plugins can stack buffs/debuffs

Example usage to reduce fuel consumption by 50%:

void OnMinicopterFuelPerSecChange(Plugin plugin, Minicopter copter, float[] fuelPerSec)
{
    // Note: Ideally you want to make this adjustment conditional according to which minicopter it is or who is mounted to it.
    fuelPerSec[0] /= 2;
}

OnMinicopterLiftFractionChange

object OnMinicopterLiftFractionChange(Plugin plugin, Minicopter copter, float[] liftFraction)

• Called when the plugin wants to modify the liftFraction property of a specific minicopter
• Returning false will prevent the liftFraction property from being modified
• Returning null will allow the liftFraction property to be modified to the value in liftFraction[0] (which you can modify if you want), unless blocked by another plugin
• When used correctly, multiple plugins can stack buffs/debuffs

Example usage to multiply lift fraction by 2:

void OnMinicopterLiftFractionChange(Plugin plugin, Minicopter copter, float[] liftFraction)
{
    // Note: Ideally you want to make this adjustment conditional according to which minicopter it is or who is mounted to it.
    liftFraction[0] *= 2;
}
