✈️ HEX Advanced Airdrop
Turn ordinary loot drops into full-scale server events with HEX Advanced Airdrop.
HEX Advanced Airdrop is an immersive ESX airdrop system featuring synchronized aircraft flyovers, physical falling supply crates, configurable loot, timed crate locks, police alerts, visual effects, automatic events, and a complete admin management interface.
Instead of simply spawning a box on the ground, a real aircraft flies across the map, reaches the configured drop zone, releases multiple physical crates, and continues along its flight path while players race toward the supplies.
Perfect for RP servers, survival servers, gang servers, PvP communities, economy servers, and large FiveM communities looking to create high-value server-wide events.
✈️ Synchronized Aircraft Delivery
Every airdrop begins with an actual aircraft approaching the drop zone.
The aircraft follows a synchronized route through the selected location while its position is calculated from authoritative server timestamps.
Players can watch the aircraft approach, follow its live map blip, and prepare for the incoming supplies.
Features include:
• Physical aircraft flyover
• Pilot inside the aircraft
• Configurable aircraft model
• Configurable pilot model
• Configurable flight altitude
• Configurable aircraft speed
• Configurable spawn distance
• Configurable route heading
• Live moving aircraft blip
• Synchronized flight timing
The aircraft continues beyond the drop zone after releasing its cargo, creating a much more immersive delivery sequence.
📦 Multi-Crate Airdrops
HEX Advanced Airdrop supports multiple physical crates in a single event.
Each configured loot entry can become its own individual supply crate.
For example:
1 Aircraft
↓
📦 Weapon Crate
📦 Medical Crate
📦 Illegal Item Crate
📦 Valuable Item Crate
Crates can be scattered around the main drop location instead of appearing directly on top of each other.
Server owners can configure:
• Crate models
• Crate spacing
• Scatter width
• Maximum stash weight
• Inventory slots
• Individual item quantities
This allows you to build both small supply drops and large contested loot events.
🪂 Animated Crate Descent
Supply crates don't simply appear on the ground.
After the aircraft reaches the drop zone, the crates visually descend from the sky before reaching their final positions.
The descent is synchronized across connected players using the server's drop timestamps.
Features include:
✔ Visible falling crates
✔ Configurable fall duration
✔ Optional parachute system
✔ Synchronized landing time
✔ Moving crate blips during descent
✔ Multiple crates descending from one aircraft
Once the crates land, the event moves into its locked or available stage.
🔒 Timed Crate Lock
Create tension around the drop zone with a configurable unlock timer.
After landing, crates can remain locked for a set amount of time before players are allowed to search them.
This gives players time to:
🔫 Fight for control of the area
👮 Respond as law enforcement
🚗 Travel to the drop zone
🛡 Secure the surrounding area
👥 Organize their team
The remaining lock time is displayed directly through the custom airdrop HUD.
🎒 Full ox_inventory Integration
Every airdrop crate is backed by a real ox_inventory stash.
Loot is registered and handled server-side instead of simply being given through an insecure client event.
Players physically approach the crate and search it before the inventory opens.
Features include:
• Server-registered stash inventories
• Configurable stash slots
• Configurable maximum weight
• Item metadata support
• Server-controlled loot creation
• Physical crate interaction
• Search animation
• Search progress interface
• Secure inventory opening
This makes the system ideal for servers already using the ox ecosystem.
🔍 Immersive Crate Searching
Opening an airdrop isn't instant.
When a player interacts with a crate, HEX Advanced Airdrop starts a search sequence before allowing access to the loot.
The player turns toward the crate and performs the interaction while a custom progress interface appears.
The search duration can be configured by the server owner.
This gives crate looting a more polished and immersive feel than instantly opening an inventory.
🛡 Server-Side Loot Security
Important airdrop actions are validated on the server.
Before allowing a player to access a crate, the system verifies conditions such as:
✔ The airdrop still exists
✔ The crate is valid
✔ The player is physically near the crate
✔ The crate unlock timer has finished
✔ The crate hasn't already been claimed when using winner mode
✔ The search interaction was completed correctly
The actual stash is then opened through ox_inventory from the server.
This helps prevent players from simply triggering client events remotely to access airdrop loot.
🏆 Shared & Winner Modes
Different servers need different styles of airdrop gameplay.
HEX Advanced Airdrop supports different loot competition modes, including shared access and winner-takes-all style drops.
📦 Shared
Players can compete for and interact with the available supply crates normally.
🏆 Winner Takes All
Create a much more competitive event where claiming the drop matters and the system tracks whether the reward has already been taken.
This gives server owners more flexibility when creating different event types.
🚨 Police Requirement System
Want to prevent high-value drops from starting when there isn't enough law enforcement online?
HEX Advanced Airdrop includes configurable minimum police requirements.
Server owners can define which jobs count as law enforcement, such as:
• Police
• Sheriff
• Additional custom law enforcement jobs
You can configure:
✔ Minimum police required
✔ Minimum players required
✔ Police requirement for manual drops
✔ Police requirement for automatic drops
This helps keep airdrops balanced and prevents major events from starting when server activity is too low.
👮 Police Alerts
When an airdrop is inbound, configured law enforcement jobs can receive their own special alert.
Police receive information about the unauthorized supply drop along with a temporary map area indicating where they should respond.
This creates natural conflict between:
👮 Law enforcement
🔫 Criminal organizations
👥 Civilian groups
💰 Loot hunters
Turning every high-value drop into an opportunity for spontaneous RP.
🗺 Live Airdrop Blips
Players can follow the event directly through the map.
HEX Advanced Airdrop includes separate configurable blips for:
✈️ The incoming aircraft
📦 Individual supply crates
The aircraft blip moves alongside the synchronized aircraft and rotates according to its flight direction.
Crate blips also follow the crates during their descent before settling at the final landing locations.
Blip sprites, colors, scales, and labels can all be customized.
💥 Airdrop Effects
Make important drops stand out with configurable visual effects.
Available effect presets include:
• Smoke
• Red Smoke
• Fire
• Flare
• Lightning
• Confetti
• Money
• Sparks
• Legendary
• None
Different effects can be selected when creating an airdrop, making it easy to visually distinguish normal supply drops from rare or special events.
💎 Rarity System
Drops can also be assigned different rarity styles through the administration system.
This makes it possible to create different classes of events such as:
⚪ Common Drops
🔵 Rare Drops
🟣 Epic Drops
🟡 Legendary Drops
Combine rarity with custom loot, effects, timers, and announcements to create unique event tiers for your server.
⏰ Automatic Airdrop System
HEX Advanced Airdrop can run completely automatically.
Server owners can configure the system to launch a new airdrop after a selected server uptime interval.
No administrator needs to be online constantly creating events.
Configure:
• Enable / disable automatic drops
• Drop interval
• Automatic loot
• Available drop locations
• Minimum police requirements
• Minimum player requirements
Perfect for keeping the server active throughout the day.
📍 Smart Automatic Locations
Automatic drops can use multiple configured locations with different selection modes.
Available modes include:
🔄 Cycle
The system rotates through every configured location in order.
🎲 Random
One configured location is randomly selected for each event.
🌎 All
Launch drops across all configured locations.
This gives server owners control over how predictable or chaotic automatic events should be.
🖥 Advanced Admin Panel
HEX Advanced Airdrop includes a complete in-game administration interface.
Authorized staff can open the panel using:
/airdropadmin
From the interface, administrators can manage both new and currently active drops.
Features include:
✔ Create custom airdrops
✔ View active drops
✔ Use your current coordinates
✔ Enter custom coordinates
✔ Build custom loot
✔ Configure item quantities
✔ Select drop mode
✔ Choose effects
✔ Select rarity
✔ Set custom lock timers
✔ Set custom announcements
✔ Configure crate cleanup time
✔ Edit active drop loot
✔ Remove active drops
✔ View drop history
✔ Repeat historical drops
The interface is designed to adapt to different game resolutions and includes independently scrollable content for larger configurations.
✏️ Live Drop Editing
Made a mistake or want to change an event while it's already active?
Administrators can edit the loot of a live airdrop through the management system.
The resource rebuilds the relevant crate inventories so the updated event can continue without requiring the entire server to restart.
This gives staff significantly more control over live events.
📜 Airdrop History
HEX Advanced Airdrop keeps historical drop records in the database.
Staff can review previous events through the admin system and even repeat a historical airdrop.
This is useful for:
• Reusing successful events
• Reviewing staff-created drops
• Repeating popular loot configurations
• Event administration
• Tracking previous airdrops
Historical records remain persistent even after server restarts.
📢 Custom Announcements
Every drop can announce its arrival to players.
Default announcements can be configured globally, while administrators can also create custom announcements for individual events.
Example:
“A military supply aircraft has entered Los Santos airspace. High-value cargo is inbound.”
Police can receive their own separate announcement at the same time.
🌐 Multi-Language Support
HEX Advanced Airdrop includes localization support with included language files for:
🇬🇧 English
🇫🇷 French
The localization structure can be expanded for additional languages.
📊 Discord Logging
An optional Discord webhook system is included for administrative logging.
Important airdrop activity can be sent directly to your configured Discord channel.
Logging can include events such as:
• Airdrop creation
• Drop information
• Crate claims
• Player information
• Event activity
Simply configure your webhook to enable logging.
🧹 Automatic Cleanup
Airdrops won't remain around the map forever.
Each event includes a configurable cleanup timer that begins after the crates land.
Once the timer expires, the system removes:
• Crate inventories
• Physical crates
• Parachutes
• Crate blips
• Aircraft leftovers
• Visual effects
• Event state
A client-side fail-safe also helps remove stale visuals if a cleanup event is missed.
This keeps long-running servers clean even when multiple drops occur throughout the day.
🔄 Player Synchronization
HEX Advanced Airdrop is built around an authoritative server state.
The server controls important timestamps and event states while clients reconstruct the visual presentation from that synchronized information.
This means players joining while an airdrop is already happening can receive the current event state instead of needing to have been online when it started.
The system synchronizes:
✔ Active drops
✔ Aircraft timing
✔ Drop timing
✔ Landing timing
✔ Crate states
✔ Unlock states
✔ Cleanup timing
🔧 Extensive Configuration
Server owners can customize almost every important part of the airdrop experience.
Configuration options include:
• Language
• Admin ACE permission
