About Kill Heli Vote

This plugin allows your players to kill all Patrol Helicopters that have spawned, by simply voting in chat!

Snaplatack Note

I originally made this plugin for my servers, but haven't seen anything similar that was already published. So I figured I would release it here 🙂

HunterZ Note

Version 2.x is my own rewrite of another rewrite started by Snaplatack, which adds new features and addresses some issues I encountered in my own use.
