parachuting spawns, giving items issues

[Nathan Bruns 0]

I searched the forum and found nothing. How do you script to spawn in 1500m up with a parachute and the selected load out? I've used 

this addBackpack "B_Parachute";
this setPos [getPos this select 0, getPos this select 1, 1500]; 

this script

and this script and i dont understand what im doing wrong. I still appear on the ground not in the air. With none of the items i put in the script. I also tried to use the name i give the unit with still no success.

If you want to spawn immediately in a parachute (and retain your backpack after landing), something simple in the player init should work. The script you linked is for paradropping from a helicopter and plane, so you need to be a passenger in such a vehicle (pretty well thought out script nonetheless!)

 

chute = "Steerable_Parachute_F" createVehicle [0,0,0];
chute setPos [getPos this select 0, getPos this select 1, 180];
this moveIndriver chute;

Here's an approach to spawn you in a certain height (1000m) with closed parachute:

_startLoadout = getUnitLoadout player;
player addBackpackGlobal "B_Parachute";
[player,1000] call BIS_fnc_halo;
waitUntil {(getPos player) select 2 <= 2 && vehicle player == player};
player setUnitLoadout _startLoadout;

This has to be executed in an environement which allows suspension, eg spawn or script.

That script looks MIGHTY familiar...

 

See this post from my own thread (where 99% of the above script is taken)

 

See this post for spawning in the air with your own backpack then adding parachute at certain height.
