Field guide / 02

Build a DayZ console airdrop, step by step.

Choose the scene, loot and location. Review the generated files, then confirm what the server loads after restart. Here is the workflow from draft to in-game check.

Console airdrop-style scenes use supported server configuration. This is not a promise of a flying-plane or parachute mod.

01

1. Select the correct server

Open Airdrops & Events in the dashboard and check the server name, platform and map before using Event Builder. A multi-server Discord can have several profiles; an event for Chernarus must not be prepared against Sakhal's mission files.

02

2. Choose the scene and loot

Select an available airdrop or crash-style preset, then review loot, guards and the run count. Use supported classnames and options from the builder. On consoles, a prepared crash or loot scene is different from a PC mod that animates an aircraft and parachute.

03

3. Confirm the location

Check the map and coordinate order shown by the builder. A CE event position uses X/Z, while an ObjectSpawner scene includes Y height too. Do not transfer a height from a different location or assume that zero means ground level. Follow the chosen placement method's requirements.

04

4. Review the protected upload

For a CE event, the definition in db/events.xml and its position in cfgeventspawns.xml must use the same event name. Loot, guards or other scene features can require additional records or files. Review validation and the selected mission; preserve unrelated content and wait until all required files have been uploaded and verified.

05

5. Restart, then confirm

A queued job is not ready just because it has an ID. Wait for its preparation result before the restart. Afterwards, read the relevant RPT diagnostics and check the location in game. Logs can show loaded definitions or faults, but do not always prove an individual item is present.

06

6. Check the event's end state

Review the configured run count and the event's status after each run. Use the event controls to disable or remove a scene when it is no longer wanted, and check the cleanup result. Removing a future spawn definition and despawning an already-persistent object are different things.

Questions Server Owners Ask

Can console servers run airdrop-style events?Yes. Event-style workflows can be prepared for DayZ console servers through CE XML and restart-based loading.
Should the bot overwrite whole XML files?No. The safer approach is to merge or remove only owned event records and guard against unrelated live file changes.
Why does the server need a restart?DayZ CE event changes usually need a restart before the server loads the new definitions.
