will do

Also if possible a maximum radius that boxes can spawn in for increased chances of reachability.

The plugin uses left4dhooks function to find a valid position to drop box.

PHP Code:

// Attempts to find a random valid position to spawn a Special Infected.
native bool L4D_GetRandomPZSpawnPosition(int client, int zombieClass, int attempts, float vecPos[3]); 


(Not recommended) So If you really want to adjust a maximum radius, use

PHP Code:

z_spawn_range                            : 1500     : , "sv", "cheat"  :

Since I haven't heard from an owner of a L2D server here that told us that he will leave a feedback about your nice plugin, therefore I'm forced to create an account for the sake of leaving a feedback, despite incapable of running a server myself. So let's cut to the chase; I liked the idea of supplies being dropped or randomly it makes my life easier despite the RNG drops, however I have a few issues that made the experience insufferable:

1.) The Supply Crates: There are times that the Supply Crates are airdropped on places where you cannot reach such as rooftops with no obvious access or out-of-bound areas such as roadblocks.

2.) You may also wanna exclude the items/weapons that we already have possessed as one of the possible rewards, unless we're out of ammo. In my opinion, it makes it a bit redundant.

Never heard about L2D server

For now, there is no accurate way to find a reachable position for survivor quickly.
You can say the helicopter pilot is lost

2.) You may also wanna exclude the items/weapons that we already have possessed as one of the possible rewards, unless we're out of ammo. In my opinion, it makes it a bit redundant.

Would probably do that.

1.) Sorry L4D2, typo.

2.) So it was intentionally being spawned far from survivors? Man this helicopter pilot really is doing terrible job

3.) Sure! Btw, anywhere else I can leave a feedback to your plugin btw? Like GitHub?

If i want to simulate the "drop", can i change the height of the spawned box and will it drop?

edit:
this work for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnXmpfuAwS0

PHP Code:

bool SpawnBox(float fPos[3], float fAng[3] = NULL_VECTOR)
{
    int iBox = CreateEntityByName("prop_physics");
    if (CheckIfEntityMax( iBox ) == false)
        return false;
    
    // move the box up 1000 unit
    fPos[2] = fPos[2] + 1000;
    
    TeleportEntity(iBox, fPos, fAng, NULL_VECTOR);
    
    int box_model = g_iBoxType;

Yes you can, but I remind you, if inside the house, box could stuck in ceilling
