¶ COMMANDS
| COMMAND | INFO |
|---|---|
| /heli | Calls for a Helicopter (Must be near a configured helipad |
¶ HOW TO PLAY
Get near a helipad that is configured in the helipads.json and do /heli. A menu will open with all the destinations around the state that are in the helipads.json. Choose a destination. When the heli arrives at your location a prompt will say [F] GET IN to the player who called for the helicopter and anyone near the helipad.
When you arrive, your character and all other passengers will automatically get out of the vehicle and you will be charged the total ride cost. (If using money, which can be set in the configuration)
You CAN leave the vehicle early (pressing F) before arriving at the destination but you will fall to your death (or parachute down) and still be charged for the ride.
One thing to consider:
The pilots are AI pilots and they fly like they are. They are not great pilots and sometimes get into a situation where they are trying to get around something or just up against a building or something and have a hard time getting to where they are trying to get. And sometimes they crash. That just adds to the fun. RP Opportunity, right?
