uMod - Drop locations and frequency not quite right - Chinook Drop Randomizer

I think it works.. Kinda.

I just noticing that some drops are just "Outside" the Monument when should be "Inside" to make things a bit more fun. Seen outside on Bandit Camp and Water Treatment >> Here anyone can get it from out side without stepping in the monument... it defeats the purpose and should be dropped inside the monument (see photo) It dropped on tree outside Bandit.. had to cut down tree to get it. LOL - please how to set drop range from monument more closer to center.

#2 Seems to work however seems to only spawn several times per every 24 hrs and not back to back every 4 hrs like some other servers did in the past prior to oil fields. i like your concept of bringing atleast 2 drops every daily (our time, not rust time) inland, since there are crates at oil also, the land one only seen maybe 2 times today 12/27/19 i checked in the server all day to verify the drops were coming.

Keep up the good #DEV work.

Control the spawning time of the Chinook with the TimedEvents plugin :)

@Arainrr >> What about this? What does editing monument size do: 115 to 10? will that bring in the drop to the center? currently seeing boxes drop 100-200 yards away from monument.

The size of the monument is only to prevent it from being dropped into the monument; there is no control over its drop into the monument

Cool it puts all the drops inland. Next step is knowing what these numbers are for ........"Monument size": 180.0
Does that number have to do with how far in the middle of the monument it falls? Because I notice they do fall in the places that I want them to go, but on the outskirts.

Thank you for your help!

"Monument size" is only to prevent hackable crate from falling within the scope of the Monument

So there's no way to make the locked crates actually drop in the monument areas?

Seems like a nice mod, but the dropping outside monuments is already raising some eyebrows on my server.

Thanks,

It seems impossible to control the flight path of the ch47
