Ok, the title is a bit misleading, mainly because dropships move. What I mean by this is something like a plane that cannot stop moving much like the UAV out of this. (Credit to Abdhul Alhazred) But it drops troops like this: And they would have parachutes. These would probably be best if they were bought as grenades and some lua magic activated if the actor was travelling downwards at a specific speed. They would also work for jumping off cliffs. This obviously would only work in a wrapped map with a high enough ceiling but would allow you to deploy actors without risk of the dropship getting shot down before it can drop people off. I would help but my coding ability is limited and I suck at spriting, but I can try lol. |

Now that's a sprite. A parachute? Hmm... Well, you could make it a bomb, that gibs into a parachute, and with lua you could make it stick into the character and reduce it's falling speed or set it into an specific speed. The only thing I know about that is how to give the character the specific speed, but I don't know how to attach the parachute into him. |

Hey, Lizard, mind giving that thing some propellers? I'd love to try coding it up. |

Nah, a bit busy. Edit a DS engine instead, should do the trick. |

Thanks for all the help guys I'm sort of learning how to sprite at the moment but for a parachute there is one in the wermacht mod? When the plane gets shot down it gibs an actor with a parachute which would work the same way. Oh and that sprite looks like god, Lizard. Just what I was thinking of. |

The Theater of war mod has parachutes as crafts, I guess that's your best bet, because with those you're 100% sure they are not attached to the actor. Haven't looked at the wehrmacht mod yet, dunno how that works. |
