Self deployable Parashute

[MattH]

Okay this is an idea that I had a little while ago...


Why not make it so you can deploy your parachute without spawning...

Say you fall off a cliff on a TW server and to slow down your fall you hit "P" to deploy the chute.

Just an idea that I though would be possible and kind of neat.

Maybe as a powerup bonus

[RaiRass_Rosato]

Actually, that seems like a pretty good idea, and would open up new oppurtunities for some unique realistic mode-centric maps.

[LtKillroy]

Been suggested before. Was deemed a good idea, but one with extremely limited use.

[Godefroy]

Should put it on the buy list in [eC]; great idea.

Any useful use in any CURRENT map? Also, use late backflip to avoid any damage when you jump off a cliff.

[MattH]

simple lets say you jump and a grenade blows up under you you could use it then
and there are other times when a parachute could be useful on realistic servers...

all I like is the kits being deployed with parachutes. That'd be a big lol

1) Late backflip technique. This is especially useful in realistic gameplay.

2) Discussed before. It is agreed that while this is a very good feature, its use would be too limited.

I'd F12 this, but it would be under a very low priority. I'm also unsure if this could be added as a script.

You can use it only if you have touched a polygon with your gostek's legs. You can't do it while falling from sky, mid air.

F12, sounds cool! Would be awesome although yeah still add it to the "List of Stuff that will be done in the next 10 years".

You can hold down [up] key after jumping left/right and then press [right/left] (without releasing [up]) and right mouse button. You can do a backflip at any moment after jumping, as long as you hold [up] key. That's late backflip.

But you can't do that if you don't hold up since you jump off a polygon, which you can't do if you simply spawn in the air.

That guy got the idea.

I think it'd make sense as a purchasable upgrade on the TW Public servers. It'd need to be cheap, though, since it's not really that great of a power-up and would actually undergo some frequent use. I get blasted into the sky so many times in the pubs, and this would be very useful for those situations. I do think that it holds a lot more usefulness than we're thinking of right now. Whole minigames could be designed around such a script!

This sounds interesting. However it would have limited use in my opinion. It would be great in realistic games because you could fall to your death.

Low priority though.

[AussieJay]

Combine parachutes with wind and it would be perfect

[DarkCrusade]

Please no wind that has an effect on bullets ... if THAT happens I REALLY quit Soldat for ever since one team gets an big advantage with that ...

I F12 the idea of parachutes, though, they are implemented too less into Soldat.

[MetsuriTossavainen]

Parachutes are nice things. F12.
