Description

IQ Guardian Drone – is a new, technologically advanced plugin in the world of RUST.
It’s a plugin that introduces new mechanics and a new “teammate” for your players!
Take your servers one step closer to technology, which the Rust developers themselves are slowly but surely moving towards!

Suitable for both PvP and PvE servers, with the PvE mode easily toggled using a single configuration setting!
This plugin, themed around technology, features a large number of audio cues (17 voice lines) along with a modern, minimalist UI interface!

How to Install Images?

Be sure to watch it until the end, dynamic moments appear progressively, and this video is worth 2 minutes of your time.

List of features:
NEW # NPC/Turrets and SamSite attacks on drones:
Defender drones will now be targeted by NPCs, turrets, and SamSites!
To enable this, you need to install the free plugin – TargetableDrones.
Configuration is done inside TargetableDrones, where you can choose who will attack the drone.

Sound Effects:
Extensive work has been done on sound effects, with the plugin featuring 17 unique phrases for different situations. All sound effects have been professionally recorded by voice actors.
The drone has phrases for various actions and situations, including instructional, combat, and humorous phrases, adding more gameplay content.
The trader has greeting, farewell, purchase, and random action phrases.

Dynamic Route Building:
The drone is capable of autonomously building a route for movement, distinguishing between trees, rocks, structures, and monuments. This allows it to maneuver without getting stuck, enhancing its combat capabilities.

Player Protection in the House:
If a player is inside their house or any of their structures, the drone will guard them by flying at an altitude around the house, eliminating any approaching threats.

Turret:
The turret operates based on in-game mechanics and has a small but important configuration.
You can adjust the enemy detection radius, select the enemy trigger for the turret (players/NPCs/animals).
It is possible to change the number of ammo slots for the turret and add a blacklist of weapons for privileges.

Hub:
This is a point for the drone where it will wait for the player.
Players can send the drone to the hub during combat or while moving. Once it reaches the hub, the drone will land at the hub point and shut down, awaiting further commands.
If the player is killed or logs out of the server while having a hub, the drone will automatically return to it.
The flight to the hub can be canceled by pressing the control remote again.
The frequency on the hub should match the frequency on the drone.

Control Remote:
The control remote serves as the “detonator” with its SkinID (a regular detonator won’t work).
It is required to activate and control the drone.
The frequency on the control remote should match the frequency on the drone.

Drone Vendor:
There is an integrated building in the NPC city (using the CopyPaste plugin) – you can modify it (for proper operation of your building, consult with me, and I will guide you on what needs to be installed there).
All vendor goods can be customized or completely disabled.
The building’s position can be changed in the configuration file.

Drone Configuration:
Extensive drone configuration options are available. You can remove its strobe light, flashlight, and set the time for the flashlight to turn on.
You can configure the drone’s height, speed, flight offset, and there is support for the drone when the player is in a vehicle, which can also be configured separately.
The plugin comes with an optimal configuration already set up, so you don’t have to worry about the complexity of configuration and testing.

Plugin Monetization:
You can sell drones, remote controls, and hubs in your server’s store.
In addition to this, there is turret configuration based on privileges.

Permissions:

iqguardiandrone.dronedestroy - permission to use the drone destruction command
iqguardiandrone.hubdestroy - permission to use the hub destruction command

Other permissions are configured in the settings
Chat commands:

/hub - send the drone to the hub (there is also a button in the UI) 
/drone - an admin command that gives a drone, a control remote, and a hub
/hub.destroy - destroys the hub at a distance
/drone.destroy - destroys the drone at a distance

Console commands:

hub - send the drone to the hub (there is also a button in the UI) 
hub.destroy - destroys the hub at a distance
drone.destroy - destroys the drone at a distance
iqgd drone [Steam64ID] - give a player a drone 
iqgd hub [Steam64ID] - give a player a hub 
iqgd rfdetonator [Steam64ID] - give a player a drone control remote 

The square brackets are used for example – do not use them in commands

API:

private Boolean IsValidDrone(Drone drone) // Returns true/false values if this drone is someone's protector
Object canRemove(BasePlayer player, BaseEntity entity) // Returns a String with information if a player is trying to remove a drone/hub, otherwise returns null
