How It Works:

First Alert:
“Warning! Balloon Bandits have been spotted stealing treasures! Stop them before they escape!” This message signals the start of the event, drawing players’ attention to intercept the fleeing robbers.

Central & Outer Balloons:
A central balloon appears with a hackable loot crate guarded by an NPC. Outer balloons form around it, following in formation. If the central NPC is killed, the outer balloons scatter, each taking its own independent flight path. Customize the balloon formations and loot crates via the config file.

NPCs and Custom Loot:
Each balloon is protected by NPC guards with adjustable loadouts. Defeat them to access the loot in each crate, with customizable items and amounts in the config.

Jets & Airstrike Finale:
Upon hacking the central crate, players receive a warning: “Jets incoming! T-minus 30 seconds.” Shortly after, jets spawn overhead, targeting the balloons with rockets, adding a thrilling finale.

Final Alert:
“{playerName} has secured the main treasure and called in air support! You have 5 minutes to collect remaining loot before it’s lost!”

Event Cleanup:
All NPCs, crates, and balloons are removed when the event ends or when all loot has been claimed.

Key Features:

AutoLaunch: Set intervals for automatic event triggers.

Dynamic Balloon Formation: Outer balloons follow the central balloon and scatter when the NPC is killed.

Customizable Loot & NPCs: Adjust items, health, and NPC equipment.

High-Risk Airstrike Finale: Jets and rockets add a thrilling climax.

Admin Commands: Quick control for starting and stopping the event.
