Parachutes

[FSPilot 0]

Here's what I'm looking to do.

I found this place in the map in Resistance with these REALLY steep cliffs. What I want to do is get on a motorcycle, drive off of it, then eject from the motorcycle and gently float down to the water.

...

Ok, I think it would be cool.

Can anyone help me out?

Try this:

Create a civilian guy and name him man(or something).

In the motorcycles initfied:

Man moveindriver this;this addaction ["Pull chute","Chute.sqs"]

Chute.sqs:

Chute="ParaChuteWest" camcreate [getpos Man select 0,getpos Man select 1,(getpos Man select 2)+10]

Man setpos getpos Man

Man moveindriver Chute

To be honest I dont think it looked very nice, there probably is a better way of doing this.

forgot to say:

You may wanna change the altitude the chute is created at.

Chute="ParaChuteWest" camcreate [getpos Man select 0,getpos Man select 1,(getpos Man select 2)+10]

but this might look better:

Chute="ParaChuteWest" camcreate [getpos Man select 0,getpos Man select 1,(getpos Man select 2)+20]

I dunno, I didnt try it that much, only a few times

I'll try, but I'm a tad (very) inexperienced (stupid) when it comes to map making.

Ok, I couldn't get it working.

It flashed this error message really quickly saying it couldnt fine chute.sqs.

How do i make chute.sqs and where do i put it?

I belive you make it in a notepad file and name it chute.sqs

Then place it with your map in the mission folder.

Nope, sorry, didn't work. Gave me the same error too.

Any other takers?

Is it possible that the name of the file is chute.sqs.txt?

My computer\control panel\folder options\

press the second thing from the left on the top.

There you have an option, hide fileextension, unmark that box.

Now you can change the chute.sqs.txt by simply removing the .txt part from the name.

Nope, it's a .sqs file.
