Parachute eject (http://www.ofpec.com/ed_depot/index.php?action=details&id=298&game=OFP)

For flares, use the fire (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/index.php?action=list&game=All&letter=f#132) command.

The script link "Parachute eject" supplied by Mr Peanut is a script for parachuting.......... there are loads of scripts in the editors depot to help with many question you may have. this is one of the first scripts I ever used on OFP and is tried and tested throughout the years....

Hi urias03~
In the example mission it has for you, you should be able to see how it's done..

Are you asking what are you supposed to do with the "Paradrop.Cain" file?

or how to make it work in the mission editor? 

You add the "paradrop.cain" file to....

Goto mycomputer > C: Drive > program files > codemasters > opeationflashpoint > users > username ....

Place the "paradrop.cain" in your "username" folder..

i hope that's your question.... :dunno:   :)

i don't have "paradrop.cain" i've downloaded the parachute eject that's the one that says "drops para per second untill everyone out"
and i have only "mission.sqm" and "paradrop.sqs"

Hi, try this download file...

those two files you have should be in a folder called "paradrop.Cain"....

See the attatchment on this post here below..it's the paradop.cain..the contents of this folder should include the mission.sqm and the paradrop.sqs which yes you should put in your username missions folder....

Ok, lets see if we can get this sorted......


1./  You have a mission you are making in the Mission Editor.

2./  You are using the I44 Mod.

3./  Mr Peanut kindly gave you a link to a script that might do the job for you, this script is contained in a file called
      Paradrop.Cain.zip.
      This zip file once unpacked will produce a folder called Paradrop.Cain which will contain two other files:

         mission.sqm
         Paradrop.sqs

      If you wish to preview the example mission just pop the whole folder 'Paradrop.Cain' into your Users folder in OFP.
      If you wish to use the Paradrop.sqs (the script) in your mission, then find the folder in your Users folder that
      contains your mission and place a copy of the Paradrop.sqs in it.

4./  There are no instructions in the zip file to tell you how to use it, but if you load the script file into Notepad you
      can read the instructions incorporated into the script itself, you may also examine the example mission in the
      Editor to see how it was made.
