ACE AI Paradrop problem

[anessen]

Hey there

I'm trying to get 11 AI soldiers out the back of a C-130 flying at 2,000m.

They are all given ACE_ParachutePack in their Gear.

The plane runs into a trigger that executes:
{[trplane, _x] execVM "x\ace\addons\sys_eject\jumpout.sqf"} forEach units group player

The problem I am getting is that the AI seem to deploy the chute very late, then never actually get out of it on the ground (there isnt a player model under the chute either). All there seems to be is a load of parachutes bobbing along the ground and some soldiers reporting injured or dead...

Is there a better way of doing this?

first of try using search function on forums, second try your question in the ACE thread since this is general scripting section.

I did try searching, and I do know that thread exists. It just seemed absurd having a million and one different subtopics going on inside one thread. Sort of defeats the point, no?

No. The creators of ACE itself are watching that ace thread, meaning their thread, what better place to get answers about ACE??

You'll need a script telling them to pull the ripcord(I think), the ACE parachutes have a delay maybe that the problem.

I use to press [ ` 6 1 ] "all->actions->pullripcord"

Did you try this:

I'm pretty sure this was explained in one of the older ACE2 thread. If you do a search function for HALO in each of the threads it will probably pop up the answer.

I can't remember for sure but I'm almost positive I saw this in one of the threads. Just can't remember which one.
