</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">To make this addon usable, you must make your own mission (or edit a mission) and either make a txt-file named INIT.SQS, which should be placed in the missionfolder, or, in the editor, add a single line in the init-field of the soldier(s) which are supposed to use this addon.

If you put the line in the INIT.SQS file, all human players will be able to use the addon.

Copy the line below and insert:

[] exec "\21vbGlider\script\paradrop.sqs"<span id='postcolor'>

It might sometimes be useful to read the readme files

Its a script lol I can't get it to work either though i put it in the addon folder made a txt file named INIT.SQS and i put [] exec "\21vbGlider\script\paradrop.sqs" in the thing and when i try to get it work it doesn't can soemoen help me?

[Koolkid101 0]

It always says no script named found, did i put it in the wrong folder?

[Koolkid101 0]

only way i can get it to work is to put a flying empty glider, put that line in teh dudes init, and put him in driver of the glider, and then eject form the glider thingy and then open my new chute

now how can this be done for a newbie?

edit: i give up, i've looked everywhere. HOW DO YOU MAKE a player the driver of a empty vehical, and how do u set the vehical to start off higher?

Works like a charm for me.

You have to add the [] exec "\21vbGlider\script\paradrop.sqs" to his init field, make him fly up high in a chopper or whatever (any soldier) and click the small "eject" button.

There we go, and if you are high enough, an action will appear "deploy chute" and if you are too low ejecting, an auto chute will deploy

~chute = the name of the parachute. under th advance editor were there is an empty box that says "name" put the word "chute" and use that code for the soldiers init line

[blackdog~ 0]

you have to put it in a vehicle init field and the player can eject out of the frikin vehicle with the chute on

there is already a post on this addon

this is the only one that isnt locked  

btw you have to be higher up i dunno the minimum but i know 900m up u can eject from a vehical with it on (with the iit line filled out with the paradrop.sqs thingy in the players init feild

Instead of menu driven, I wish it had been tied to the keys. Toggle left...A, Toggle right...D and Brake....S. That would make it more accurate. Got close to landing on building tops, but just not yet.

[~Too Tall~ 0]

2 things.

1: ofp doesnt allow u to assign keys

2: DONT land on building tops...i did...and it warped me into the ground under the buildign..had a hell of a time getting out

[Dirt 0]

Thanks Too Tall for the heads up, I landed on the walkway beside the city hall and it did the same thing. I guess after being under that building we will have to call you Tunnel Rat...lol

This is a very cool addon! It would be nice if the altitude was in true time, and not every few seconds. I saw a example of this in a halo script. Is there any reason you did not make it that way?

whats sad is i was playing by myself, in a test map....so i coulda jsut restarted but noooo i felt eh need to spend 10 minutes getting out form under an 8 story building lol

[Jahve 0]

2 things...

1st of all: Too Tall, i thought you werent gonna come to the forums anymore

2nd of all: Its not a skydiver, but a skydiver parachute... There isnt any skydiver-guy with the addon...

Tip: use the V-80, hit on 4x accelerated speed, auto hover, sit back and press/hold accend-button (Default: Q).

When you see on the altimiter that it doesnt go any higher, put it down to 1x accelerated speed and eject. Now.. Don't Open Chute at all.. The Reserve chute opens when youre at about 20 m above ground by itself.. Now just to f*** it up completely, eject once more to fall into the ground and die a quick and painfull death :D

Ok, first: I really like this addon, finally a great glider for stealhy insertions.

But I really think the scripts in this addon need to be fixed for multiplayer games. At the moment the only way to get it working right is to use an official addon (for example UH60) and to start the script from the init.sqs - else not all players get the chute. If I start the script from the vehicle's init line (the only way to get it working with addons like the C130) then it won't work in MP...

It would be nice to see this fixed, as this is really a lovely addon.

[Dirt 0]

Joltan how did you get it to work in MP. I have tried everything and it seems to be a hit and miss thing.

Just a heads up, 21VB isn't a group, it's a all Danish clan . And I'm a member, just so you know it, so I got a good advice for this when trying it out. Played it a lot of times on our server with the guys.

So what you do is it that u make ur parachute guy, and then you make a chopper that follows a waypoint, and when it gets to this waypoint it activates a trigger which puts it up to 2000 meters with a "setpos", then it's really cool.

A good competion we've had is to skydive from Everon Airport, and then try to land in the fountain in Meaux, it ain't impossible, but it damn sure ain't easy
