Advanced Air Strike Configuration

Assigning Permissions

To use the Advanced Air Strike plugin in the first place, you need to permit players to do so. You can do so by using the following command:

oxide.grant [user or group] [group name or player Steam ID] [permission]

Below is a list of permissions available in the plugin:

• f15estrike.strike - Allows the use of strike designators.
• f15estrike.nuke - Allows the use of nuke designators.
• f15estrike.strike.give - Allows players to use the “/strike give” command.
• f15estrike.nuke.give - Allows players to use the “/nuke give” command.
• f15estrike.admin - Grants full admin access and admin panel access. You can modify the configuration options below in-game using this panel.

For example:

oxide.grant group admin f15estrike.admin

If you want to remove a permission, just replace “grant” with “revoke”.

Modifying the Config File

The next thing you need to set up is the configuration file. Advanced Air Strike splits its configuration into the following categories:

• Commands - Allows you to edit or disable the Strike and Nuke commands.
• Blocked use zones - Allows you to limit target points outside of points of interest.
• Global warnings - Allows you to modify or disable broadcasting when a strike is happening.
• Purchases - Allows you to enable compatibility with Economics and Server Rewards, and edit scrap or currency costs.
• Strike - Edit the speed, rate, damage, spread, and other settings of the air strike.
• Nuke - Edit the speed, rate, spread, and other settings of the nuke.
• Misc - Some settings don’t fall under categories, including designator display name, plane altitude, chat prefixes, etc.

Using Advanced Air Strike In-Game

Chat Commands

Advanced Air Strike has a list of commands that allow you to actually use its features. Admins can also use commands for debugging and settings. Below is a list of chat commands:

• /f15 - Opens the in-game F15 store. You can access the admin panel here too.

2. Purchase either the Strike or Nuke designator.
3. Select the designator in your hotbar.
4. Aim and left-click to designate a target.
