uMod - Heli not spawning loot boxes when killed - Heli Control

I know this has been asked several times but I experienced this and I've tried the following to debug it,

completely reinstalling and deleting every trace of the plugin, then reinstalling.
enabling/disabling other loot plugins (MagicLoot) - (AlphaLoot). neither work on either setting.
checked Permissions on oxide regarding HeliControl.nodrop, didn't fix anything
turning use custom loot table option in the config on or off, didn't fix anything.
by unloading the plugin the vanilla heli will drop loot, so it only happens when the plugin is installed and loaded.
completely uninstalled all loot plugins to see if there was a conflict, still didn't drop any.
Killing the heli by shooting it down and by /killheli, won't drop on either
there are no errors popping up in console other than:

Invalid Position: servergibs_patrolhelicopter[23539512] (-908.0, -500.0, -453.9) (destroying)

(14:26:29) | Invalid Position: servergibs_patrolhelicopter[23539504] (-915.0, -501.2, -457.6) (destroying)

(14:26:30) | Invalid Position: servergibs_patrolhelicopter[23539511] (-907.4, -504.3, -479.6) (destroying)

hope I provided what all I used to test it for you to debug this or help out in any way, thanks!

Hi.
Is there any chance you could try with *only* HeliControl loaded? I see you've said that you tried disabling a few other plugins, specifically loot ones, so I am curious if it will happen for you when HeliControl is the only plugin loaded. I know you've said that the issue only happens while HeliControl is loaded, but I am wondering if there is still some conflict deeper down. If everything you've said is accurate, there should be no reason for crates to not be dropping. It should not affect anything, but it would help to make sure you are on the latest version (1.3.4) that was released just a few days ago. :)

Also, you said you have tried it with a fully fresh copy, so I assume that means your config was deleted and regenerated as well. If this was somehow not the case, in your config, make sure the "Loot - Max Crates to drop" config option is something higher than 0.

We are getting the same problem happening after the wipe update, and it is still going on after todays update. The only loot plugins I use is AlphaLoot, and FancyDrop. Our HeliControl config looks the same as before, when it was working before the update.

Hi, I am getting this same issue. Not sure what is going wrong. I have better loot installed as well as fancy drop. The loot for a normal heli drops just not for a spawned heli. Is there a setting you have to enabled in order for crates to drop?

I've gone ahead and tested the plugin myself after the OP's report and this one. With a completely default config (you can check to make sure yours is by looking at the overview, it is updated now with the latest default configuration), I was not able to reproduce the issue you guys have described. I called the helicopter in using a HeliControl command (/callheli) and using the default Rust commands (heli.calltome and heli.call), in all situations crates dropped every time the helicopter was shot down.

Your issue may be slightly different than the original poster's, since it seems to have occurred directly after the update, you may be using one of the HeliControl commands to call the helicopter in and you're lacking the "helicontrol.dropcrates" permission. You can grant this to yourself or your group using the permission system with a console command like so: ``o.grant user UserNameOrID helicontrol.dropcrates`` (you might already know this, but figured I'd make it a bit easier for ya).

Hey TheRealLexii, I'd recommend you to read my above comments a bit. I think they should help you with your issue, because there is no setting you have to enable for crates to drop, that is the default setting in the config. The only time it wouldn't is if you are calling in a Helicopter with one of HeliControl's commands without the permission "helicontrol.dropcrates". All automatically spawned helicopters should drop crates as normal. :)

First, i apologize for using this older thread again, but maybe my amateurish description will help someone with the same problem.

I had the same problem, all permissions fit, tested / unloaded / checked all related plugins, but crates never spawned on one of my servers, unless i disabled HeliControl. I use AlphaLoot and have looked into the differences in the settings of my servers. After several tries around, i found the solution for _my_ server (which means that i can not guarantee that it will help you)

in oxide/config/ i changed AlphaLoot.json LootCategory Limits from

"LootMultiplier": 5
to
"LootMultiplier" 1
for all crates.

"itemAmountMinMax" was enabled all the time.

reloaded HeliControl & AlphaLoot, and all was fine.
As written, i do not even know if this can help others, but my problem is solved with it and crates spawn.

Is it only happening with helicopters you spawn in manually by command?
