Repair System
Requirements
All repairs require:
HelicopterRepairKit held in the player’s hands- Engine must be off
- Helicopter must be grounded
What Gets Repaired
The HelicopterRepairKit repairs all 6 damage zones: Body, Engine, Chassis, Fuel, Main Rotor, Tail Rotor.
Progressive Repair
Zone repair is progressive — each hold action repairs one damage level. If a zone has taken heavy damage, multiple hold actions may be required to fully restore it.
Each repair also restores a fraction of global HP (CZH_repairGlobalHpPct).
Repair Settings
All repair settings live in mod_config.json and apply globally.
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|
CZH_repairKitUses | Number of repairs a kit can perform before going ruined | 5 |
CZH_rotorRepairTime | Hold time in seconds to repair a rotor | 45 |
CZH_zoneRepairTime | Hold time in seconds to repair body/engine/chassis/fuel zone | 30 |
CZH_repairGlobalHpPct | Global HP fraction added per repair (0.10 = +10% per action) | 0.10 |
Battery System
Requirements
A HelicopterBattery must be in the HelicopterBattery inventory slot with charge greater than 0 before the engine can be started.
Battery Behaviour
| Event | Effect |
|---|
| Engine start | Drains CZH_batteryStartDrain units |
| Engine stop | Drains CZH_batteryStartDrain units |
| Engine running | Recharges CZH_batteryChargeRate units per second |
| Lights on | Drains CZH_batteryLightDrain units per second |
Battery Settings
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|
CZH_batteryStartDrain | Battery drained per engine start/stop. 0 = no drain. | 10.0 |
CZH_batteryChargeRate | Battery recharged per second while engine is running. 0 = no recharge. | 5.0 |
CZH_batteryLightDrain | Battery drained per second while lights are on. 0 = no drain. | 2.0 |
To disable the battery requirement entirely, set CZH_batteryStartDrain = 0. The helicopter will start without needing a battery in the slot.
