[jayant]

@sseebbyy - Used your code base with some changes and now I got working jetpack,but for some seconds. It was fun.

[Diego^]

Good job, @sseebbyy

[Sebastian]

Update

Changelog:

• made parachute be colorable (in 2 colors)
• changed animation ID when player "detaches" parachute - to avoid a bug
• made parachute spawn in random colors by start

First post was updated with new download link + some code edits.

Cool friend

To note: onPlayerGameKeysChange doesn't work with secondary keys.
Random function can be updated to a better one. Also, to make it truly random, add a srand( GetTickCount() ); to it.

Also, to make it truly random, add a srand( GetTickCount() ); to it.

That's some really old code written by Gudio, but it was doing it's job.
Never thought of a better one, because I didn't really need one.

But now may be the moment. How exactly should I use that srand( GetTickCount() ) ?

But now may be the moment. How exactly should I use that srand( GetTickCount() ) ?

The srand inserts a seed which is used by the rand function in its algorithm. In this case GetTickCount which is being changed every second. Making a seed with srand( GetTickCount() ) will set a unique seed everytime the script runs so it will generate a pure random number rather than a sequential default seed one.

Hope I you get it.

p.s: inb4 someone comes and says that's not what srand does in squirrel cuz I forgot

.

Oh, this is pretty cool. Thank you !


First post updated !

Now the parachute will get really random colors, thanks to @KAKAN 's suggestion.

• Added srand( GetTickCount() ); in the top of the script.

Bro I've tried this great

Suggestion to these changes

Code Select Expand

add local ParachuteWorldID = 0;  // the vehicle WorldID of the parachute

Change
if( player.Weapon == 100) Announce( "Open your parachute!", player, 1 );
to
if( player.Weapon == wepParaID) Announce( "Open your parachute!", player, 1 );

Change
if( ( newKey == KEY_ONFOOT_FIRE ) && ( !player.Vehicle ) && (player.Weapon == 100) && (g_PlayerFallAccum[player.ID] != 0) )
to
if( ( newKey == KEY_ONFOOT_FIRE ) && ( !player.Vehicle ) && (player.Weapon == wepParaID) && (g_PlayerFallAccum[player.ID] != 0) )


Change
plrParachute[player.ID] = CreateVehicle( 6400, 0, player.Pos, 0, 0, 0 );
to
plrParachute[player.ID] = CreateVehicle( vehParaID, 0, player.Pos, 0, 0, 0 );
I suggest those changes because I thought it did not work because I changed wepParaID = 100; To the correct id on my server and as there were functions like if (player.Weapon == 100) Announce ("Open your parachute!", Player, 1); I did not work but now

You're not doing anything, it's the same thing, for me it's always worked like this

exact. Besides, I better shut up ...

[Sebastian]

Good point.
I've updated the code. Thank you.

Report anything else wrong, if there is any.

Can you tell me where model taken from? I'm going to use it in my server so I need credits of model, thanks.
