Two items are required for full helicopter functionality. Both are custom items added by the CZ Autoz Helicopter mod and need to be added to your server’s loot economy.
HelicopterBattery
| Property | Value |
|---|
| Classname | HelicopterBattery |
| Inventory slot | HelicopterBattery (dedicated slot in helicopter inventory) |
| Required for | Starting the engine |
Behaviour
- Must be in the
HelicopterBattery slot with charge greater than 0 before the engine can be started
- Drains by
CZH_batteryStartDrain units on each engine start and engine stop
- Recharges at
CZH_batteryChargeRate units per second while the engine is running
- Drains at
CZH_batteryLightDrain units per second while lights are on
- Battery maximum charge is 500 units
To disable the battery requirement entirely, set CZH_batteryStartDrain = 0 in the helicopter’s JSON config. The engine will start without needing a charged battery in the slot.
HelicopterRepairKit
| Property | Value |
|---|
| Classname | 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 CZH_repairKitUses repairs (default: 5) before going ruined. Configure in mod_config.json.
Adding Items to Your Server
Add both classnames to your server’s types.xml to control spawn rates. Example entries:
<type name="HelicopterBattery">
<nominal>5</nominal>
<lifetime>3600</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="HelicopterRepairKit">
<nominal>5</nominal>
<lifetime>3600</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>
Adjust nominal, min, and lifetime to suit your server’s economy. The values above are examples only.
