Question Parachutes

[Declan]

Dear Devs

Would it be possible to add parachutes for pilots or is there some sort of limitation on the physics engine?

[Isaac The Madd]

It is certainly possible, but why would we use them.

@Declan

 

Parachuting is definitely possible on the W3D engine. Both ECW and RA2:AR have it in some form. I assume your question is meant for RA:APB yes?

Works great in Renegade-x. Should be great in Reborn/aPB

For when it gets shot down.

Only in Red Alert, at least. Tiberian Sun doesn't have/need them.

Because the RA timeline units are all babies. TS units are all men who ride their broken plane into the ground while playing a sick guitar solo on a flaming guitar

Actually they can just fall from space and walk away ;p

I'd say add parachutes only on the condition that they had to be bought before hopping into the chopper. That way its their fault if they die by becoming dirt pizza.

Soviet Soldier Volkov does not need your parachute.

Soviet Soldier Volkov can fall great distance and still crush Allied dogs.

Be like Soviet Soldier Volkov.

This might actually be an interesting way to do this..

Parachutes are in original Renegade, they're just not coded in for regular multiplayer.

Umm... not exactly true. What you see in single player is just pre-scripted cinematics, not actual parachute logic. Some servers have modded in hacky "parachutes" but it's not something the engine natively supports.

i vote yes but will be some "abusers" using parachute to go to high places and.... you know snipers,or other some but its good idea

well to be fair, they could just land on those places and get out of the helicopter.
