Some rescues cannot end with an ambulance at the curb: the hiker on the cliff face, the sailor off the coast, the officer on a rooftop with no stairwell. A helicopter winch turns those scenarios from "teleport and pretend" into actual flown missions — hover, lower the line, secure the target and lift them home while the whole server watches.
How the winch works
- Deploy the winch line from a hovering helicopter with smooth, controlled lowering and raising.
- Attach players to the line for rescues — conscious or downed — and reel them up to the cabin.
- Cargo operations too: hook and lift objects for construction scenes, salvage jobs and event setpieces.
- Rope movement is synced for everyone nearby, so the spectacle looks right from every angle.
Missions it unlocks
- Coast guard roleplay: open-water rescues finally play out over the water instead of beside it.
- Mountain operations on Chiliad's trails give EMS and search teams real terrain work.
- Police air units extract officers and suspects from rooftops and sieges.
- Event hosts stage evacuations, stunts and cinematic lifts that end up in every server trailer.
Practical to run
- Built for ESX servers with straightforward installation and keybind-based operation.
- Pilot-and-operator flow encourages two-crew flying, which is exactly the teamwork rescue RP wants.
- Configurable line length, speeds and permissions keep the tool with the units that should have it.
- Actively maintained by its developer, with showcased updates improving the system over time.
The missing aviation layer
Helicopters in most cities are taxis with rotors. A winch gives them a verb — rescue — and gives your emergency services their most cinematic tool. Fly it alongside Wasabi Ambulance Job for full medevac roleplay, and find more specialty tools in our admin & utility scripts.
Setup is quick and the learning curve is part of the fun: crews will spend their first evening practicing hovers and line work, and by the weekend your city has a rescue unit that other servers simply cannot match. Few scripts create a whole new discipline of play for this little money.
