Remove Parachutes

[kahna 13]

Alright, something screwy is going on with the parachutes and it's crashing our server intermittently. I've pulled them off of VAS, but how do I take them out of the choppers? I've tried removing backpacks to no avail.

Maybe post a rpt file mate from your server.

I think parachutes are related to backpacks.

From what I can tell, parachutes are only available if you are wearing the backpack: B_Parachute.

I could be wrong though, I didn't test it that much.

This post is about removing parachutes from the Helicopters guys. I don't need to run a report to see that the dedicated and local servers have 2-4 hours of uptime running Insurgency and our Training Base and immediately start crashing moments after we start HALO jumping and we can reproduce the crashes endlessly. I also know what the parachute is called seeing as I had to put its class name into VAS to disable it.

I simply want them removed as best I can. I disabled them in VAS, now I just need to find the code for pulling them from the Chopper cargo slots. If anyone knows a way to kill them completely, i.e. not even being able to pull them out of a saved config in VAS, I'd appreciate the help!

cant simply remove them with:

clearMagazineCargoGlobal vehicle;
clearWeaponCargoGlobal vehicle;

?

Worked perfectly, thank you so much! I've been erroneously trying to use the remove commands.

cant simply remove them with:

clearMagazineCargoGlobal vehicle;

clearItemCargoGlobal vehicle;

clearBackpackCargoGlobal vehicle;

as well (for removing other stuff)

Is that some special scripting, or stuff that goes in the INIT box? Because when I add to INIT I get an error that says "Invalid Number In Expression".

Ok guys, I'm encountering this problem too.

Did anyone find a solution ?

These parachutes are wacky. How do you let crew parachute? :)

This will remove the parachutes (and other backpacks if any) from an helo's inventory:

clearBackpackCargoGlobal this;
