# Event Settings Some owners won’t want the Attack Heli or Chinook bothering them if they are trying to run a Building server, so we have provided options for controlling many of the events in the game. *** ## Quick reference

Option	Description
Enable Helicopter to Target Players	Toggles whether the Attack Heli can attack players.
Attack Heli Bullet Accuracy	Controls the aim-cone of the Attack Helicopter.
Attack Heli Damage Scale	Controls the scale of the damage done by the Attack Heli’s main guns.
Enable Bradley	Toggles the Bradley APC spawning function at the Launch Site.
Bradley APC Respawn Delay	Controls the amount of time taken for the Bradley APC to respawn after it has been destroyed.
Locked Crate Decay Time	Controls the amount of time taken for a Locked Crate to disappear if not interacted with. Time is measured in real-world seconds.
Locked Crate Time to Unlock	Controls the amount of time needed to hack a Locked Crate. Time is measured in real-world seconds.

## Enable Helicopter to Target Players Toggles whether the Attack Helicopter can attack players. #### **Input** Toggle-able, default ON. #### **Restart Required?** Yes *** ## Attack Heli Bullet Accuracy Controls the aim-cone of the Attack Helicopter. #### **Input** Any value from 1 → 360. 360 will enable omni-directional targetting of players by the Attack Helicopter. #### **Notes** The value you input into this field controls the “aim-cone” of the Attack Helicopter. If this is set to 180, the Attack Helicopter will only target players in the front half of its perspective. See the below diagram for a representation of how this works.

#### **Restart Required?** Yes *** ## Attack Heli Damage Scale Controls the scale of the damage done by the Attack Heli’s main guns. #### **Input** Any number, but this value is clamped to a maximum of 3.4×10³² (essentially infinite). #### **Notes** Can theoretically deal 0 damage, or crank it up to insta-kill. #### **Restart Required?** Yes *** ## Enable Bradley Toggles the Bradley APC spawning function at the Launch Site. #### **Input** Toggle-able, default ON. #### **Restart Required?** Yes *** ## Bradley APC Respawn Delay Controls the amount of time taken for the Bradley APC to respawn after it has been destroyed. #### **Input** Any number, but this value is clamped to a maximum of 3.4×10³² (essentially infinite). #### **Notes** This is measured in real-world minutes. #### **Restart Required?** Yes *** ## Locked Crate Decay Time to Unlock Controls the amount of time taken for a Locked Crate to disappear if not interacted with. #### **Input** Any number, but this value is clamped to a maximum of 3.4×10³² (essentially infinite). #### **Notes** Set this very high if you don’t want Locked Crates to decay if they aren’t being interacted with. Time is measured in real-world seconds. #### **Restart Required?** Yes *** ## Locked Crate Hack Time Controls the amount of time needed to hack a Locked Crate. #### **Input** Any number, but this value is clamped to a maximum of 3.4×10³² (essentially infinite). #### **Notes** Set this to 0 for instant hacking of Locked Crates. Time is measured in real-world seconds. #### **Restart Required?** Yes *** ## Event Settings The following commands are used to control server events. Available events are:

Event	Event Code	Description
Airdrop	`event_airdrop`	A plane flies over the map and drops a crate of supplies that players can loot. Players can see the crate on the map.
Chinook	`event_cargoheli`	A helicopter manned by scientists will patrol a monument and drop a Locked Crate there. Players can loot the crate, but it will take some time to unlock.
Cargo Ship	`event_cargoship`	A cargo ship passes by the island. If players can make their way to it (using boats or by swimming), they can find loot, but it is protected by hostile scientists.
Attack Helicopter	`event_helicopter`	A helicopter patrols a section of the map. It is hostile to players and will attack on sight. Well-equipped players can destroy it to find loot.

## Special Events #### **Input** Dropdown, with the following options: * Easter * Halloween * HalloweenPortal * Xmas * XmasPortal #### **Notes** For more information, please see the [Seasonal Events](https://rust-console-edition.gitbook.io/rust-console-edition-community-servers/feature-guides/seasonal-events) page. #### **Restart Required?** Yes --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
