I want to know if I could make a parchute where you can jump out a ship, open it up, and float to safty (or be shot up like hell if there are enemies around the drop zone.)

is it possible?

Not really.

you might be able to make the jetpack weaker, and look like a parachute, and have it fall off easily once you land.

Except 1. you can't break off AEmitters, and, 2, even if you could you'd be jetpackless.

i had this idea when i first joined and i got the same answer.
would be coolish though

I noticed that on some maps, specifically cambiogris' "Pit". If you touch the side of the map your jet pack is permanently disabled. Weird little bug that.

What do you meen IF you could
Make a mape where it dosen't wrap x the smash your back into the wall and the jetpack will be gone, so im sure you can make it fall off

If it is a gun yes.

A weapon that has a muzzle flash thing, that looks like a parachute, and the weapon looks like a backpack. The weapon fires a emitter downwards, that makes you float downwards slowly.
Perfectly plausable.

Wow thats a good idea!!!

*rushes of to make a parachute!*

A ship that has the sprite of a green clone on a parachute, that has low mass, ultra weak thrusters, and when it hits the bottom it gibs a green clone, a couple of guns and a detached parachute sprite. Awesome, make this.

Last I checked gibbed clones were not controllable. It would gib and you would basically provide the enemy with target practice. That is a neat idea though.

You guys are making this way more complex than it needs to be.
Just a facing down digger with a cool muzzle flash.

Don't clones already jetpack down for a smooth landing?

Yes.
But parachutes are cool.


The problem with the muzzle flash version is that it can't be shot off. The sprite should be a parachute, and one bullet should gib it.
