Hi everyone, I was not aware that this may not be an english friendly site. I hope it is. I am new to flashpoint and I am in need of some help. I have been playing and the A.I paratroopers are just falling to the ground. How do you control them? Is there a way to just start on the ground instead? I can open my chute but, I cant seem to land. Again if this is a finish site only then thanks anyway. Your site is great and it has already been a great help.
refracter. :PP

RTFM ;)
Actually this is clan server site and not a FDF mod site. You can find lots of help from fdfmod main site and forums:

http://koti.mbnet.fi/fdfmod

For general mission editing http://www.ofpec.com is a real goldmine. I strongly recommend you to read all tutorials there.

BTW the problem you are referring to is quite basic. You had readme with FDFmod. Well, it says there that:

"FDF - Advanced Parachutes - Enables advanced parachutes. Only units which have the FDF_ParachuteRound or FDF_ParachuteSquare items in their inventory will get a parachute after ejecting from an air unit. The square parachute is controllable, and pilots have the round parachute by default."

So you have to add gamelogic FDF advanced parachutes in editor to get it working correctly.

Oh and by this you can add FDF parachute to infantry. Put this to unit init line:
this addweapon "FDF_ParachuteSquare"

You can find most up to date readme from: http://koti.mbnet.fi/fdfmod/readme/missionediting.html

You asked about how to get those guys on ground. Well you can set any object altitude by adding this to init line:
this setpos [(getpos this select 0),(getpos this select 1),X]

X== meters above (or below) the ground.

this setpos [(getpos this select 0),(getpos this select 1),0.1]
=>means object will be 10cm from ground. If that's bunker or such it is floating in air but moving units like infantry
will fall down.
