Want to spice up the Ferry Terminal location on your map? Look no further! Captors have taken hostages and are going to execute them if they cannot enslave them. Liberate the hostages while waves of backup arrive Johnny Blaze style on their motorcycles. They will be relentless and merciless. It's recommended that you bring a friend or two for this one! Description The event will begin with a notification that captors have taken hostages and will be trying to take them away to enslave them from the Ferry Terminal monument. First you will want to dispatch as many of the enemies on site as possible without alerting them of your intent or presence. Once you are ready though, alarms will be sounded and they will attempt to call for backup. Once the backup begins coming on motorcycle they will continue to send units to keep you from liberating the hostages, or execute them as opposed to letting you get them to freedom! Each hostage will have a small radius and a configurable countdown will begin as you work on releasing them from their shackles. Once freed you will still need to escort them to a ferry nearby, and they will thank you by opening a hackable crate for you. There are indicators that help highlight important event items such as the hostages. The configuration file gives plenty of options to customize the event, from NPCs, timers, rewards, and plenty of other options like integration with plugins you already own, in game UI, and more!

Description Every server has them: players who sit in base all day. They do not want to roam, take risks, or “run into an event, kill everything, loot, repeat”. HostageTaking was built exactly for those players. Instead of a pure gunfight event, this is a brain-driven rescue scenario: a hostage is held with a ticking C4 device players must search the area to uncover the 4-digit defusal code only then can they attempt the defusal via an in-game UI keypad This reliably pulls passive/base players out and gives them a meaningful server event without forcing a full PvE slaughter-fest. Core Gameplay Loop Admin starts the event (chat or console command). A countdown begins (broadcast announcements at milestones). The hostage spawns at a monument location and is equipped like a prisoner, with C4 on the belt + beeping effect. Around the monument, the plugin selects 4 random code spots (from a predefined list). Players must roam and get close to code spots to discover digits (each digit reveals part of the code). Once players believe they have enough info, they interact with the hostage and open the Defusal UI (keypad). Limited attempts: wrong tries reduce attempts careless interaction (closing UI mid-attempt) can also reduce attempts Outcome: Success: bomb defused, hostage rescued, reward crate spawns Failure: hostage dies / attempts run out → C4 explodes and the event ends Features Dynamic hostage rescue event with “C4 defusal” mechanics 4-digit code generated per event Code digits are discoverable via proximity-based “code spot” locations In-game UI warning dialog (encourages searching first) keypad defusal UI attempt counter and correct-digit feedback Max duration auto-stop (prevents never-ending events) Optional cooldown between events Admin visibility option (show the secret code to admins with permission) Debug mode can spawn flares at code spots (for testing) EN + DE messages included Dependency / Requirements This plugin requires the MonumentFinder plugin to locate the configured monument. If MonumentFinder is not loaded, HostageTaking will not run. Commands Chat Commands (admin permission required) /flashhostagetaking — Start the event /stophostagetaking — Stop the event /statushostagetaking — Show current event status + code (admin-only) Console Commands (admin permission required) flashhostagetaking — Start the event stophostagetaking — Stop the event statushostagetaking — Status output Permissions hostagetaking.admin — Required to start/stop/status the event and (optionally) view the generated code. Configuration All config values are validated and clamped to safe ranges on load. Default config options: Event Start Time (seconds): 300 Max Event Duration (minutes): 60 Event Cooldown (minutes): 0 (no cooldown) Max Code Attempts: 3 Show Code To Admins: true (shows “Event code: ####” to admins) Debug Mode (Show Flares At Code Spots): false Notes (important) Code spot offsets are hardcoded (not configurable via config). Rewards On successful defusal, a reward crate is spawned: Hackable Locked Crate (Chinook crate prefab) Practical Server Use (Why this exists) This event is designed to: create roaming incentives without pure PvE “wipe NPC camp” gameplay give “base players” a strong reason to leave safety encourage communication and exploration create PvP tension organically (players moving between code spots and the hostage) In short: less “aim and loot”, more “think, search, risk, and decide”. load, run, enjoy
