calo_mir 10 Posted August 19, 2009 I placed a 'parachute' unit in the editor, previewed and managed to land in a tree. Hung there helpless - no access to the action menu. Seems like the only option is to quit the mission. Is this intended behaviour? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nicolasroger 11 Posted August 20, 2009 I don't know, but something should be done about it. But normaly people try toavoid trees when parachuting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cole 0 Posted August 20, 2009 ... you got stuck with a parachute on a tree in arma2?! What the..? That never happened to me, I usually just "slide" with the parachtue down the tree and land. :eek: by the way, if you'd actually cut your chute high up in a tree and fall down, you'd probably be seriously injured (and thus the mission would be more or less over for you) anyways..

Crni-Vuk 10 Posted August 20, 2009 I had this issue once, though without any tree involved it happend on a small slope haning on the ground, with no ability to "jump" out of the parachute. Could do nothing else but respawn ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Potatomasher 0 Posted August 21, 2009 Sounds like something worth reporting at the Community Issue Tracker here:http://dev-heaven.net/projects/cis/issues Why ? It doesn't sound bug to me. If you glide to a tree IRL you probably hurt yourself and maybe get stuck in it. This is great if this really happens in game too. I haven't tried myself yet. I have always founded field for landing. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

walker 0 Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) Hi all The option to cut away is needed; BUT! I like the fact you can get hung up in a tree in ArmA just as you can in real life. It has happened to me twice while HALO jumping and landing in Forrest. Now I have learned to avoid forrests, something I believe real parchutists do too. I want it to remain. As to getting dragged on a slope that happens too in reality. Slopes of hills compress the air going up them, creating increased lift that is one of the reasons why hang gliders and provenders choose them to launch from. As I said it is a simple solve; of the option to cut away. Any injuries you get as a result are realistic.

Herbal Influence 10 Posted August 21, 2009 Yeah - again ... fascinating how realistic AA2-gameplay is ... things happen like in real life although no developer did ever think about it to happen ... GREAT ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bangtail 0 Posted August 21, 2009 Yeah - again ... fascinating how realistic AA2-gameplay is ... things happen like in real life although no developer did ever think about it to happen ... GREAT ! It also happens when you land on a steep incline. Cut away is required but if you fall from a tree say, it should damage you. Eth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atrocious 10 Posted August 21, 2009 As I said it is a simple solve; of the option to cut away. Any injuries you get as a result are realistic. I agree. An option to cut the chute would be great. Like in RL you had that option but it could end badly. Anyway, you might get help by a medic after you hit the ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tinker 10 Posted August 21, 2009 IRL you have all sorts of possiblilities, reaching a branch and climbing, using the shoot to lower yourself down, releasing and jumping etc..etc.. In game there is no option. Playing with no respawns this situation means you are out of the mission, simple as. Originally Posted by walkerAs I said it is a simple solve; of the option to cut away.

Big Dawg KS 6 Posted August 21, 2009 With ArmA's damage-from-falling in mind we will probably die from such a fall. :p We can fix it with scripts. ;) Seriously though you could easily implement a "Cut Parachute" feature with some simple scripting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boneboys 0 Posted August 22, 2009 Tree jumping was developed by the Brits in the late 50's, in Malaya. If the option to eject did not appear, then something needs to be fixed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
