Hello!

I got a few questions:

1) Is there any way to change the current parachute accelerate? It's so pathetic, you can't even accelerate when you have it on. I'd like to make the acceleration more sensitive.
2) I remember (not sure) there was a thread where someone asked for a method to find map's highest point, but I failed to find it, I need to retrieve the highest available point in the map to spawn a player.

Thanks in advance!

2. this maybe ?

PHP Code:

stock get_max_z(index, Float:point[3])
{
    new Float:aimorigin[3], Float:origin[3], Float:vangles[3], Float:fov
    
    // you'll want to replace aimorigin with the victim's origin
    fm_get_aim_origin(index, aimorigin)
    
    pev(index, pev_origin, origin)
    pev(index, pev_view_ofs, vangles) // view offset for killer's eye's origin
    origin[0] += vangles[0]
    origin[1] += vangles[1]
    origin[2] += vangles[2]
    
    pev(index, pev_fov, fov)
    fov /= 1.5 // for some reason this works well, but theoretically it should be 2.0
    
    pev(index, pev_v_angle, vangles) 
    vangles[0] *= -1.0 // this is done because looking up angle < 0, level angle = 0, looking down angle > 0
    
    point[0] = aimorigin[0]
    point[1] = aimorigin[1]
    // magic calculations brought to you by my brain + some guesswork
    point[2] = aimorigin[2] + get_distance_f(aimorigin, origin) * floatsin(fov * M_PI / 360) / floatsin((180 - vangles[0] - fov) * M_PI / 360)
    
    // this is better than nudging the entity straight down
    // it will do a traceline between the killer's head and the desired
    // point, and it will stop when it hits a wall or ceiling or whatever
    new tr = create_tr2()
    engfunc(EngFunc_TraceLine, origin, point, DONT_IGNORE_MONSTERS, index, tr)
    get_tr2(tr, TR_vecEndPos, point)
    free_tr2(tr)
    
    
    // just in case we end up outside the map, move the point closer to the killer
    new pc = engfunc(EngFunc_PointContents, point)
    while(pc == CONTENTS_SOLID || pc == CONTENTS_SKY)
    {
        point[0] += (origin[0] - point[0]) * 0.05
        point[1] += (origin[1] - point[1]) * 0.05
        point[2] += (origin[2] - point[2]) * 0.05
        pc = engfunc(EngFunc_PointContents, point)
    }
}

Sure! You can edit your parachute plugin however you would like it to work.

Thanks, that's what I was searching for!

Any tip what I should change? The velocity? Thanks.

I have no idea and neither does anyone else since you haven't posted a link to the parachute plugin you use.

All parachutes use almost the same code. I'm using the parachute from H.RED.ZONE https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=175775

I think that it could be done by adding more velocity to x or y coordinates but I'm not sure which. I need the parachute to go faster just like in PlayerUnknown's BattleGrounds or Fortnite. I'm not talking about the fall speed, though.

I tried it 3 times, 2 times it spawned me in a low point inside a mountain (stuck), on the third try it spawned me correctly, I guess it needs some extra checks..

[Hey]

something like this:

PHP Code:

    if(get_user_button(id) & IN_USE)
    {
        new Float:velocity[3];
        entity_get_vector(id, EV_VEC_velocity, velocity);
        if(velocity[2] < 0.00)
        {
            set_user_gravity(id, 0.10);
            new var3;
            if (velocity[2] + 40.00 < fallspeed)
            {
                var3 = velocity[2] + 40.00;
            }
            else
            {
                var3 = fallspeed;
            }
            velocity[2] = var3;
            entity_set_vector(id, 2, velocity);
        }
        else
        {
            set_user_gravity(id, 1.00);
        }
    }

Gravity has nothing to do with this.
