Description

This plugin will continuously receive updates with more pranks.  All future pranks will follow the same structural pattern allowing individual disabling and configuring.

Note for those concerned with performance:

Each prank that you disable will automatically unsubscribe from those hooks.  Most pranks will still work via admin command when disabled.  Some, such as chat pranks, cannot be triggered via admin command and would need to be enabled and subscribe to that hook.  The more pranks you enable, the more hooks that are being subscribed to.  Most pranks use very light weight hooks.  Gun toss prank would be the heaviest hook.  Chat pranks possibly the second heavies.  

Pranks:

Most pranks have a 1-100% chance.  All pranks abide by the aprilfools.immune permission and will never trigger on a player with that perm.  Pranks also have a player specific cooldown value which will stop a player from being pranked again for that amount of seconds for that prank type.  You need to be sure to set this for each prank so you do not go overboard and annoy your players too much.

• Pants: The player’s pants get ripped off and put into their inventory while emitting a terrifying scream (the crazy loud old school player downed bear trap scream)
  • Triggered by  npc conversation (air wolf vendor, bandit camp vendors, etc.) / opening a door / both
  • If inventory is full the prank will abort
• Poop: The player has a poof of smoke come out of their rear end and a horse dung drops from that location to the ground
  • An optional message can be sent to the player in chat informing them of their little “accident”
  • Optional plugin timer that randomly picks a player from eligible players (cooldown check and immunity check) or via admin command which can also be automated by services such as Battlemetrics or other Rcon schedulers.
• Chat: Numerous chat pranks that use a 1-100% chance when a player types in chat their message is distorted with one of the built in distortions before being sent to global chat (abides by cooldown check and immunity check).
  • WARNING: This currently only supports BetterChat plugin.  Coming soon: support for servers not using BetterChat
  • Distortion types:
    • Leet: Their chat will be changed to l33t sp34k
    • Slur: The chat is distorted to make the player appear drunk and uneducated
    • Sarcasm: Converts their message to SpOnGeBoB sArCaSm
    • Upper: Changes their message to all caps
    • Backwards: Completely reverses their entire message
    • Shuffle: Takes every word and shuffles the letters in them
    • (more chat distortions coming soon)
• Supply Signal:  Will toss another prefab when a player throws a supply signal (default is to also lob a smoke grenade)
  • Can either replace the signal with the designated prefab (warning: this might be a bit too mean) or throw the prefab alongside the supply signal
  • Automatically supports servers that have instant spawning supply crates or traditional cargo plane type.
  • Abides by cooldown check and immunity check
• Gun Toss: When a player fires a bullet there is a 1-100% chance their gun goes flying out of their hands in front of them
  • White list of guns you wish to be eligible for this prank
  • Optional message sent to player when the toss happens to make sure they noticed
  • Gun is purposely tossed from about eye level in front of the player so they see it fly forward
  • Abides by cooldown check and immunity check
• Haunting:  When a player completes a tree chop down this prank will run any valid effect you configure (defaults to zombie heavy breathing sound) in a specified direction and distance from the player to freak them out.
  • Runs on a 1-100% chance
  • Can use any prefab.  I suggest trying different ones on yourself using the admin command.
  • Can configure the effect to happen in front of them (good for visuals) or behind them (good for sounds)
  • Can configure the distance in meters
  • Can configure the delay (good for sounds, so the sound of the tree falling does not drown out the haunting sound)
  • Abides by cooldown check and immunity check
• Private Messages: Sends random awkward PMs to a player mimicking the formatting of the PrivateMessages plugin (but is not required as a dependency)
  • Can be randomly triggered with built in plugin timer which randomly picks from eligible players based on their existing prank cooldown and immunity permission.
  • Can be triggered via admin command or using an Rcon scheduler such as Battlemetrics
  • Uses a 1-100% chance when run via plugin timer
  • Can use random Rust generated names as the sender (same way Rust names scientists)
  • Can use a random online player as the sender (careful, this could lead to some awkward moments)
  • Can use a random name specified in the plugin config
  • Can also use all or some of those name options, each can be turned on or off.  At least one must be on.
  • All of the awkward messages can be configured, a collection of defaults is provided
