Problems with paratroopers ...

[Fenrisswolf 1]

Hey m8s,

i am calling in paratroopers with this script, the heli is coming, the soldiers are starting jumping out BUT they have no parachutes ... all die!

If i play this Mission in singleplayer it is working fine, in multiplayer not. I am using the ACE Mod btw ...

How can i fix this problem or how to assign the soldiers a parachute???

     _group = createGroup (_side);

follow twirlys paradrop Test_Para_Drop.utes scripts with demo example in this topic here:

if you just want to look at the code itself read my post #9 in the below link,

it's the same as in the demo above but with exception of the changed vehicle name "truck" rather then "plane"

the syntax should still work in ARMA: ARMED ASSAULT but may need to change .sqf to .sqs ??

omg did I just necro reply? *face desk*
