Select all units, press 6, and chooce appropiate action, like eject.
Not sure if thats what you mean..

Wouldn't select all when doing that though, as in OFP and ArmA you had a high chance of parachutes colliding. And when parachutes collide people die Dignity, people die. But I haven't tested that mechanic yet in ArmA 2 yet.

Wasn't that fixed in OFP:R?

I hardly every play other than in the editor and MP trying my missions.

May of...may of not, cannot recall. I know it was and still is an issue in ArmA, if two parachutes run into each other you get a crumple effect and possibly a light explosion followed by a quick trip to the ground. Using tilde - 6 - 1 combination most often produced the results, while jumping teams of 3 at a time reduced the chances of collisions significantly.

I haven't tried it but I don't think that would be a problem in ArmA II, it's easy enough to try, and I do recognize there was a similar problem in OFP:R when alot of units ejected and some "landed" on top of each other in midair and the chute disappeared, no explosions of any kind tho.

I just tried ejecting 13 units (including myself) and one was killed and a few injured but this could be due to the low 100 or so altitude the cargo plane was flying at.

I noticed the -"_x moveincargo plane" foreach units group this- didnt work, even -{_x moveincargo plane} foreach units group this-

Tested it, 24 units all ejected at the same time. By time we were on the ground there was only 12 left ( no explosions just crumpled chutes ). The combination of an enemy squad and a Tunguska proved short work of the remainder of us.

So yeah, tilde ->6 -> eject = bad joo joo

[Dignity]

Yep People die :( "1-is-down", "Shit-2-is-down"...... Lol that can get anoying after a while.

[JonasRC]

This is annoying, they all eject at the same time.
A solution would be to have about one second between every jump, in a script or something.
