~~~TRY the demo inworld!~~~~
5 different texture patterns, swim mode, custom poses and sounds and three sizes. Try the latest in parachute tech! Includes option to add custom textures.
Quick Start:
1. "ADD" your parachute.
2. Fall from a high distance
3. Parachute opens at around 150m or so.
~~NOTES:
-The chute can be manually opened with the chat command 'pull'.
-The chute can be manually closed with the chat command 'close'.
-The skydiving pose and sound will play once a certain falling speed is achieved. This is just over -10.0 m/s (Z-)
-The chute is designed to sense the proximity to actual Linden ground. If you are in a falling state (not flying) it will automatically open at around 150m above the current ground level. If you intend to land on a platform or skybox, use the manual 'pull' command. If you don't, it will likely end in a noisy face plant!
-Avatar Fly mode will cause the chute to close.
- You do have the ability to steer your descent using forward/back/turn controls in 3rd person and in mouselook as well.
After landing, the chute will close and you can walk or run normally.
~~SWIM MODE:
-If you land in water, the parachute becomes a swimmer (of sorts.)
-Your avatar will float and do a dog-paddle swim in whatever direction you steer.
-Since the swim mode is still technically a "vehicle", I have made it possible to cancel out of swim mode by holding the "UP"(PgUp or E) key which will boost you above the water. If you hold it long enough, avatar-fly will trigger. This is useful in case there is no gradual ramp to walk out of the water.
~~TEXTURE EDIT MENU:
There are currently 6 texture choices and can be accessed by touching the parachute.
~~THREE SIZES:
The parachutes are all mod so can be resized, however, there are a few minor differences in the three versions in regard to which animations play with which offset in the case of a face plant or swimming. This is to provide the best possible fit to different avatar sizes. Of course, some avatars may still not line up exactly with the animation offsets. The three sizes should work well for normal humanoid male and female sizes as well as dinky/tiny size.
