Parachuting can go $$$$ itself

[Dubieman]

Okay, I am angry now

I have this mission that starts with my group in parachutes, moveindriver para1, and everything works great, I had the landing area working nicely and when they hit the ground, the trigger starts up and such....

My problem is I added a cutscene/intro camera showing the basic story of the mission....
Then the parachutes started drifting far off target all the sudden, of course this screws up the triggers and activates other triggers before they should be...
If its any help, this is in a valley.
Please help cause I ant to post this once OFPEC is up.

maybe this will help, I had similar issues with a mission I was making about a year ago...

open the mission.sqm file, and find the randomseed=<some number here> - delete that line

save and re-open, it should work. If it replaces the randomseed just set it to zero i think...

this is secondhand advice going from memory a year ago... so I hope it works

randomSeed=6727171;

so your saying that if i go "randomSeed=0;" it'll work?

I guess I'll try it tomorow, time for bed now.

speak of parachuting (and abusing this topic 100%), has anyone with
BIS patch 1.96 installed had any trouble bailing out when alt. is 25m. ?!
coz it seems to me that there's NO parachute when I do so, I just fall to
the ground with no chute  

(on the other hand, bailing out from 25m's height   ;D ) I know that para's
usually need some 35-45 meters height but I was trying a "moveIn.." chute,
a bit like your stuff up there.

I'm not sure about this but could my bug be because of 1.95beta?

Maybe 1.96 has a similiar problem?

Not sure but I'll change that random seed thing today.
I hope it works.


By the way tomb, what's the scoop on 1.96? Like what's enhanced? :hmm:

Link to 1.96 in my sig:  there's a readme.   It mostly fixes a couple of errors introduced in 1.95.

You can have both 1.91 and 1.95/6 on your comp:  if you suspect a bug in the beta version, check it in 1.91.   (Shortcuts in your OFP directory.)  

If it is a bug, make a post somewhere over on the official forums so that BIS know.

Finally the random seed thingy worked greeat thanks
Kyle ;D

By the way I don't think 1.95 or 1.96 was to blame...

But if parachutes are that low to the ground, I don't think they work right anyways cause I've seen empty ones just disappear about 10 to 15 meteres up..
