Life Support stops players from dying. When a player with Life Support turned on takes a fatal hit, they are healed instead of going down. They keep their gear and the item in their hands, and skip the corpse run. You decide whether saves cost money, who gets them, how often, and where they work.

A small heart icon next to the hotbar shows each player at a glance whether Life Support will save them.

Updated for the current Rust. Works on both Oxide and Carbon.

Features

• Status icon. A heart icon to the left of the hotbar, styled like Rust's own status icons:

  • Green: on, and the next save will work.
  • Amber: on, but a save would fail right now (on cooldown, can't afford it, out of saves for the wipe, or in a blocked zone or base).
  • Gray: off.

  It updates the moment a player types /ls, and is hidden for players without permission.

• Free or paid saves. Charge in Economics, Server Rewards or Scrap, or make saves free.

• Backup currency. If a player can't pay with the main currency, Life Support can charge a second one instead, with its own cost multiplier.

• Permission tiers. Give each tier (default, VIP, admin or any group you add) its own cost, cooldown and number of saves per wipe.

• Cooldowns, save limits and rising costs. Limit how often players can be saved, cap saves per wipe, or make each save cost more than the last.

• A real recovery. Bleeding, poison, radiation, drowning, hunger and thirst are cleared on a save, so players aren't killed again a few seconds later and charged twice. You choose how much health they come back with.

• Keeps the held item. The weapon in a player's hands doesn't drop when they're saved.

• PvP option. Choose whether players killed by other players can be saved.

• F1 kill still works. Players stuck under a rock can still respawn.

• Base mode. Make Life Support work only inside a player's own base, or never inside it. Teammates', Friends' and Clans members' bases can count as their own.

• Zone support. Turn Life Support off in Raidable Bases and Dangerous Treasures event zones. With Zone Manager, either turn it off in the zones you list or allow it only in those zones.

• Protect sleeping players (optional).

• Turn on automatically (optional). Players with permission are protected without typing a command, and can still switch it off.

• In-game help./ls help shows each player the commands they can use. VIP perks are listed for everyone (grayed out for non-VIP players), and admin commands are shown only to admins. The VIP perks are read from your config, so they always match your settings.

• On-screen notices when a player is saved, or when a save fails and why.

• Wipe aware. Save counts reset each wipe, and you can turn Life Support off for everyone on wipe.

• Translations: English, Russian and Spanish (the new help screen is English for now).

• Developer hooks, including CanUseLifeSupport, so event and duel plugins can block saves.

Permissions

• lifesupport.default -- Can use Life Support at the default tier
• lifesupport.vip -- Can use Life Support at the VIP tier
• lifesupport.admin -- Can use Life Support at the admin tier
• lifesupport.blocked -- Can't use Life Support, even with another permission
• lifesupport.zones -- Can use /lsZones to manage the Zone Manager zone list

You can add, remove or rename tiers in the config. If a player has more than one tier, the cheapest one is used.

Commands

• /ls or /lifesupport -- Turn Life Support on or off
• /ls status -- Show whether it's on, the cost of your next save, your balance, saves used and any cooldown
• /ls help -- Show the commands you can use
• /lsZones add <zone ID...> -- Add Zone Manager zones to the list
• /lsZones remove <zone ID...> -- Remove zones from the list
• /lsZones list -- Show the list
• /lsZones clear -- Clear the list

Whether the zone list turns Life Support off or allows it only in those zones depends on the "Zone Manager mode" setting.

Notes

• With the currency set to None, every save is free and the costs are ignored.
• Each tier's cooldown and save limit override the main settings. Use -1 for a tier to follow the main setting.
• Updating from 1.x: your old config is upgraded automatically. If "Use Server Rewards" was on, the currency is set to ServerRewards.

Localization

English, Russian and Spanish are included. Edit the messages or add your own language in the lang folder.
