Parachute to Safety

Description
While I know that there is an amx_parachute, I decided to make this plugin anyway. What this does is, upon falling at a certain speed, a player's gravity is automatically switched to whatever the cvar is set to. A parachute also appears on the player's back, and is removed after the jump.

Version
1.2

CVARS/Commands
mp_parachute (at the moment the only values which can be set to are decimals, I'll fix that in my next update but I'm kind of tired now :))
0.25 is equal to 200 gravity, 1.0 is 800 gravity (normal), etc.

Acknowledgments
Thanks to Hawk552 for his entity tutorial and nightscreem for some coding.
Thanks also to XxAvalanchexX, Zenith77, and Des12 for their help on entities.
Thanks to JTP10181 for some coding help with his amx_parachute plugin.

Changelog
-1.0 Initial Release
-1.1 Fixed some bugs, thanks to some help from Hawk552.
-1.2 Parachute fixes, thanks to JTP. I also made it so that bots do not deploy parachutes, as there were some Ed_Alloc issues with them.

To Do:
Allow integers for CVAR.

NOTE
This probably wouldn't be such a good idea for maps like awp_l337sk337.
Parachutes are only visible when looking at other players, not yourself (unless you are viewing yourself in third-person :))

Thanks for reminding me :)

Re: Parachute to Safety

I dont see a difference in between the amx_parachute and this one. atleast the description doesnt explain enough to be different. better one please? :)

Re: Parachute to Safety

Its an autoparachute when you are falling.

Re: Parachute to Safety

so its basically turning mp_falldamage to 0 except with some gravity affects. not bad actaully.

Re: Parachute to Safety

Updated: version 1.1, thanks to some help from Hawk552.

Re: Parachute to Safety

hmm I like the general idea, but I havent tested this cause my server is down till tomarrow..

anyway, what I would like to know is..

can you make this, if it isnt already made this way, put an angle on your fall based on how fast you were moving and which angle you were moving in..

so lets say this:

Code:
