Required Items

The following items are added by the CZ Autoz Helicopter mod and need to be added to your server’s loot economy for full functionality.

Helicopter Battery

Property	Value
Classname	`CZ_HelicopterBattery`
Inventory slot	`HelicopterBattery` (dedicated slot in helicopter inventory)
Required for	Starting the engine

Behaviour

Must be in the HelicopterBattery slot, not ruined, and with charge greater than 0 before the engine can be started
Drains by battery.startDrain units on each engine start and engine stop
Recharges at battery.chargeRate units per second while the engine is running
Drains at battery.lightDrain units per second while lights are on
Battery maximum charge is 500 units

The battery requirement cannot be turned off. Setting battery.startDrain = 0 only means the battery never drains on start or stop — it does not remove the requirement. The engine start check is unconditional: a CZ_HelicopterBattery must be fitted in the slot, it must not be ruined, and its charge must be above 0, or the Start Engine action will not appear. No config setting removes that.

Helicopter Repair Kit

Property	Value
Classname	`CZ_HelicopterRepairKit`
Must be held	In the player’s hands
Engine state	Must be off
Helicopter state	Must be grounded

What it Repairs

Repairs all 6 damage zones: Body, Engine, Chassis, Fuel, Main Rotor, Tail Rotor.

Repair Kit Durability

A single kit can perform repair.kitUses repairs (default: 5) before going ruined. Configure in mod_config.json.

Helicopter Fuel Drum

Property	Value
Classname	`CZ_HeliDrum`
Parent	`CanisterGasoline`
Capacity	100,000 ml
Default fill	50% of any helicopter tank per full drum (2 drums to fill from empty)

A large fuel drum designed for helicopter refuelling. Holds significantly more fuel than a standard jerry can. The fill percentage and drain speed are configurable in mod_config.json via refuel.drumPct and refuel.drumRate.

The older classname CZAutoz_HeliDrum still exists as a deprecated compatibility alias so existing types.xml and trader configs keep working. Migrate to CZ_HeliDrum — the alias will be hidden in a future release.

The default drain rate (refuel.drumRate = 5.0) is set so a full drum takes the same wall-clock time to empty as a full jerry can, despite holding 5× the fuel. Adjust refuel.drumRate if you want a different fill speed.

Adding Items to Your Server

Add classnames to your server’s types.xml to control spawn rates. Example entries:

<type name="CZ_HelicopterBattery">
    <nominal>5</nominal>
    <lifetime>14400</lifetime>
    <restock>1800</restock>
    <min>2</min>
    <quantmin>-1</quantmin>
    <quantmax>-1</quantmax>
    <cost>100</cost>
    <flags count_in_cargo="0" count_in_hoarder="0" count_in_map="1" count_in_player="0" crafted="0" deloot="0"/>
    <category name="tools"/>
</type>

<type name="CZ_HelicopterRepairKit">
    <nominal>5</nominal>
    <lifetime>14400</lifetime>
    <restock>1800</restock>
    <min>2</min>
    <quantmin>-1</quantmin>
    <quantmax>-1</quantmax>
    <cost>100</cost>
    <flags count_in_cargo="0" count_in_hoarder="0" count_in_map="1" count_in_player="0" crafted="0" deloot="0"/>
    <category name="tools"/>
</type>

<type name="CZ_HeliDrum">
    <nominal>4</nominal>
    <lifetime>14400</lifetime>
    <restock>1800</restock>
    <min>1</min>
    <quantmin>20</quantmin>
    <quantmax>70</quantmax>
    <cost>100</cost>
    <flags count_in_cargo="0" count_in_hoarder="0" count_in_map="1" count_in_player="0" crafted="0" deloot="0"/>
    <category name="tools"/>
</type>

Adjust nominal, min, and lifetime to suit your server’s economy. The values above are examples only.
