Parachute query

[The Corinthian 0]

Hi

Im trying to make a scene in a mission where a player drives a motorbike off a cliff and then parachutes down safely. I have tried using a radio trigger to run a script which moves a parachute to the players position and then moves the player into the parachute as the driver but it isnt working.

My first attempt focussed on a modified version of the Real_HALO drop script so I could use the Deploy Chute option on the use menu but again this didnt work.

Im really new to scripting so I could do with a couple of pointers on the following please...

(a) If the player is already in a vehicle when the script is called do I first have to eject/unassign him from that vehicle before reassigning him to the recently moved parachute?

(b) How would I activate a script via the use menu instead of using a radio trigger?

© to make a player use a parachute do I just have to move him as driver into it?

Thanks

I don't think you have to move/unassign frist. Anyone else?

chute.sqs would be your script.

You don't need to unnasign him. But you must setpos or eject him out of the vehicle.
