Vehicle Decay Protection

Note: This plugin has four different features for protecting vehicles against decay. Only one of those features uses permissions: "no decay based on vehicle ownership". If you simply want to make vehicles not decay if they have been recently used, or if you want to scale decay for vehicles under a roof or near a tool cupboard, those features DO NOT use permissions, so skip ahead to the configuration section of the plugin.

Granting the following permissions to a player will cause their owned vehicles to not decay under any circumstances. You can grant permissions by vehicle type, or for all vehicles with a single permission.

Note: Vehicles are never assigned an owner by the vanilla game, with the exception of deployable vehicles like Kayaks, so you will need another plugin to assign ownership to most vehicles in order to benefit from the nodecay permissions.

Vehicle ownership is determined by the OwnerID property of the vehicle, which is usually a player's Steam ID, or 0 for no owner. Most plugins that spawn vehicles for a player will assign that player as the owner. For vehicles spawned by the vanilla game, it's recommended to use one of the following plugins to grant vehicle ownership.

Vehicle Vendor Options - Automatically assigns ownership of vehicles purchased at vanilla NPC vendors if the player has permission

Claim Vehicle - Allows players with permission to claim ownership of unowned vehicles using a command on cooldown

Vehicle Deployed Locks - Optionally assigns ownership to vehicles when a lock is deployed onto them

Alternatively, if the vehicle has a code lock or key lock attached to it via Vehicle Deployed Locks, this plugin will also check the nodecay permissions of the lock owner, if the lock is locked.

Tug Boats are a special case. As long as any authorized user has the nodecay permission, the tugboat will not decay.

Enable permission (true or false) -- Determines whether the permission feature is enabled. If you are not using permissions to prevent vehicle decay, set this to false to improve performance.

Each vehicle type has the following options:

Allow the plugin to influence decay (true or false) -- Determines whether the plugin will influence decay for this vehicle type. If you don't want to alter decay for a given vehicle type, you may set this to false to ensure that vanilla decay is used.

Determines how much to scale decay damage for vehicles that are inside (under a roof). Set to 0.0 to completely nullify decay damage to vehicles while they are inside. Setting to 1.0 will improve performance by avoiding even checking if the vehicle is inside.

Determines how much to scale decay damage for vehicles that are near any tool cupboard (regardless of whether the vehicle owner is authorized). Defaults to 1.0 which has no effect. Set to 0.0 to completely nullify decay damage near tool cupboards.

Protect from decay after recent use (minutes) -- Determines how many minutes to protect vehicles from decay after they have been used.Note: This option does not appear in the config for boats because there are already vanilla convars for that:motorrowboat.decaystartdelayminutes -- Applies to Row Boats, RHIBs, PT Boats, Kayaks, Duo Submarines, and Solo Submarines.tugboat.tugdecaystartdelayminutes -- Applies to Tug Boats.

Decay interval (seconds) -- Determines how often each vehicle can take decay damage. Raise this value to deal decay damage less frequently and to improve performance. The plugin will automatically compensate for slower schedules by dealing higher amounts of decay damage, so you don't have to worry about this affecting damage over time.

Applies to Row Boats, RHIBs, PT Boats, Kayaks, Duo Submarines, and Solo Submarines.tugboat.tugdecaystartdelayminutes -- Applies to Tug Boats.
