I think you could make it even simpler than that. Just give a clone a gun (that looks like a parachute) with a mass of -50 or so, with HitsMOs and GetsHitByMOs set to 0, which gibs on impact with the ground. This would make the clone effectively very light so it should float gracefully down to earth... on the other hand it may just go splat, it depends on how well CC models gravity. Technically it should go splat, according to Gallileo.

BTW jetpacks CAN be gibbed off, I've done it myself, but for some reason this paralyses the actor from the waist down I.E. their legs remain but stop responding to commands.

Oh and CC doesn't seem to take weight into account for calculating gravity, everything falls at the same rate.

I've not noticed the paralysis effect myself.

I did it by messing with my guy from the hero pack, he had a massive jetpack so it was easy to hit. Paralysis effect is definately there.

I meant the method where you ram into a non-wrapped map edge.

That gets rid of the jetpack, but your character can still walk.

Yeah, its possible i made one from a rocket it worked perfectly i would post it but
that was like 10 moths ago when my PC crashed

damn well sounds like you did a nice job on it.

I'm glad the parachute is possible.

well if your wondering how i did it..... the rocket has 5 body's make the first 1 normal
and 2-3 folding up and 4-5 crumpled give the rocket Health: 3 or so. eliminate all smoke blah blah blah and when using it let it drop when befor it hits the ground eject
and it should die on body 5 learn to use it first cuz when first testing it it crashes on body 1..... ok there you go need any help ask me

what about a gun that shoots a connected bullet, then the bullet turns into a parachute sprite floating you down gently. then just drop gun.

the only problem is you might have to have 3 or more parachutes depending on your guys weight in game.

You can't connect bullets to the weapons that fire them.

well how about something like the plasma tunneler except it doesnt pull you up
