- Simple Parachute
Works Well! Fix for parachute top not showing up.
This parachute is amazing! I can't believe it's only L$1!
Everything works well except the big red top of the parachute does not show up when it's deployed. Here are the steps I took to fix it so that the top of the parachute appears along with the cords.
1. Right click the parachute pack and enter Edit mode.
2. Switch to Edit Linked Parts mode.
3. Select a linked part that already contains a script named "show-hide parachute", for example, the cords of the parachute.
4. Copy the "show-hide parachute" script to your inventory. (You will need this later in Step 7)
5. While still in Edit Linked Parts mode, continue cycling through the linked parts of the parachute until you have selected a tiny red semi-circle. It's very easy to miss and invisible by default! If your viewer does not allow you to cycle through linked parts, try to use a box-select cy clicking and dragging (if your viewer editor supports this feature) around the centre of the object at a height where the top of the cords end. It will be near-impossible to select this item manually by clicking with a mouse because it's so small.
6. Resize the red semi-circle dome until it's the proper size or to your liking so it looks like a parachute.
7. Drag the "show-hide parachute" script that you copied to your inventory from Step 4 and drop it into the Contents of the invisible red semi-circle dome. When you do this, the dome should become opaque but the rest of the parachute cords will still be invisible.
8. To fix the dome invisibility state so that it's invisible while the rest of the parachute is hidden, just use the parachute once. For example, fly up really high then disable flying. The parachute should deploy and the cords should become opaque. When you touch the ground the entire parachute will be hidden and it will be ready for future use fully functional!
Hopefully this helps someone who wants to use this great parachute with a small flaw that can be easily fixed.
Just Cords
There is no canopy with this chute, just the cords that would go from your harness to the canopy. Looks a bit stupid floating around on some strings
