we have one plug in that lets people call a "personal heli", It locks and broadcasts the kill to the chat . started showing negative damage. With the server patrol,it used to lock and broadcast damage. It has stopped broadcasting the attackers and just says heli: . I also noticed it was destroying parts of the helicopter on the console. any idea what is happening?

no idea without seeing the other plugin. just disable it in loot defender

i unloaded my other plugin to try to troubleshoot. Players shot at heli and report still was empty.  Did another test and players were able to loot the boxes who arent on the team, as well.

as I stated I have no idea without seeing this other plugin

post your config. i killed over 200 helis during testing and every single one of them locked fine

this shouldn't be false. anyone on a team/friend/clan should share the kill. it shouldn't be optional imo so i will be removing this option

Ok thanks, I'll set that to true.  I appreciate the help, nivex!
