Features

• Allows RC drones to automatically hover in place when a player (who has permission) disconnects control at a computer station.
• Does not apply if the drone is on the ground when the player disconnects control.

Without this plugin, RC drones will fall to the ground when the controlling player disconnects from the computer station.

Permissions

• dronehover.use -- When a player has this permission, disconnecting from a drone at a computer station will cause that drone to hover in place.

Recommended compatible plugins

Drone balance:

• Drone Settings -- Allows changing speed, toughness and other properties of RC drones.
• Targetable Drones -- Allows RC drones to be targeted by Auto Turrets and SAM Sites.
• Limited Drone Range -- Limits how far RC drones can be controlled from computer stations.

Drone fixes and improvements:

• Better Drone Collision -- Overhauls RC drone collision damage so it's more intuitive.
• Auto Flip Drones -- Auto flips upside-down RC drones when a player takes control.
• Drone Hover (This plugin) -- Allows RC drones to hover in place while not being controlled.
