adding parachutes to objects
« on: 12 Aug 2005, 06:58:17 »
I've got 2 questions about parachutes.

question1: How do I add a parachute to an object?

question 2: How do I release the parachute, without the object being stuck in it?

NOTE: do NOT answer question 1 with an example of soldiers since I know how to get a soldier into a parachute, but how do I get e.g..... a TANK in it?

If you de-pbo this you will see how to have Chinooks carry tanks and then drop them using 4 parachutes each, other Chinooks will drop ammo crates and Mg jeeps etc.

I am a bit embarrassed at the quality of the scripting I used to do it - it was a long time ago, but you will get the idea.  Basically you create a parachute and continuously setPos the object below it until it is close to the ground.
