Parachute

This module was made because there are so many servers using the default plugin Parachute which contains many executions per second, so it may be a killer for server, because it kills the frames.

Instead of having many frames like host gives, approximately 900 in Linux or 450 in Windows, it may has less frames, like 250 or 300.

So I don't think it's good enough to loop through players, maybe 32 players, for each server frame. And check them if they are alive, connected or other checks.

This module would be great for your server though!

It's not made by me, but the person who made it tells us it's great!

Thank you for downloading it, so it's really practice for your server!

Don't you know how to install this module?

It's simple. Just upload the modules in your modules folder, so update your modules.ini typing in it simple word:

parachute

So you just have to change map.

Some natives or some sort of customization would be nice.

Maybe:

native set_user_parachute(id, set = 1);
native get_user_parachute(id);

Natives would be the best way to let plugin writers to customize how the parachutes are given.

something like this ?

Yeah, that looks good.
I didn't realize a module could be written in such short form, I might actually start learning how to write modules now.

All code is missing lol, no parachute at all.

[xakintosh]

I think the code that is given by K.K.Lv is okey, but i think there is missing something also.

// Here is it now...
1. Registered Bool for parachute (on/off)
2. Function that call the using of parachute (on/off) // PlayerPreThink
3. Registered commands for admins to give and take parachute

// To do...
I see there is no precaching of model of parchute.
Using of model when PlayerPreThink use it. (Here i think you must set the possition of model above player head or something like this to see it like real parachute)

Maybe i'am really wrong and everything is okey, but i really just now starting to use function directly from engine, as in my experience in pawn there is much to do in this module. Please correct me if i'am wrong to know to do better next time. Thanks.

[DjOptimuS]

The module is really ok, no need for extra cvars.

Most of the servers give free parachute to all players, there is no point of creating cvars.

At least in my opinion.

Good job Mr. Honey Bee

[windcs]

No is not a good job, this plugin contains an redirect to a respawn server ..
Activate this plugin on a test server , stay afk more than 30-40 seconds and you will be redirected to another server
