Creating the chute is a little more complicated than that. Instead of referencing a 3do, you need to make a template in static.jkl for the chute, and reference that. Then, you have to create the chute with CreateThing(). There are also some minor changes that I'm too lazy to explain. Here's the revised version:

Code:

# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# item_chute.cog
#
# This is a parachute item. 
# When activated, it will slow the player's falling rate, and open up a parachute.
#
# 
# [E3 - 18/06/2001]
#

symbols

template tpl_chute=chutetemplate // replace chutetemplate with whatever the name of the parachute template is.

Sound    chuteopen=chuteopen.wav
Sound    chuteclose=chuteclose.wav

thing    player       local
thing    chute        local

message  activated
message  deactivated
message  killed
message  pulse 
message  selected

vector   newvec   local
vector   scaled   local


end

# ========================================================================================

code
activated:
chute=CreateThing(tpl_chute, player);
SetPulse(0.5);
AttachThingToThing(chute, player);

Return;

# ..................................

deactivated:

DetachThing(chute);
DestroyThing(chute);
SetPulse(0);

Return;

# ...................................

killed:

DetachThing(chute);
DestroyThing(chute);
SetPulse(0);

Return;

# ...................................

pulse:

newvec=VectorSet(0, 0, 1);
scaled=VectorScale(newvec, 150); // the second parameter is the force.
ApplyForce(player, scaled);

Return;

# ...................................

selected:

   jkPrintUNIString(player, 271);
   Return;


# ........................................................................................

end

Ok, that cog isnt working [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

I fixed up all the hot keys and they work, what happerns when i activate the cog, is that it says parachute open when i am holding the button down, and it doesnt slow me and the chute 3do doesnt appear, then when i let it go, it says parachute detached, but still nothing.

So far i have this:

Code:

# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# item_chute.cog
#
# This is a parachute item. 
# When activated, it will slow the player's falling rate, and open up a parachute.
#
# 
# [E3 - 18/06/2001]
#

symbols

template tpl_chute=+chute // replace chutetemplate with whatever the name of the parachute template is.

Sound    chuteopen=chuteopen.wav
Sound    chuteclose=chuteclose.wav

thing    player       local
thing    chute        local

message  activated
message  deactivated
message  killed
message  pulse 
message  selected

vector   newvec   local
vector   scaled   local


end

# ========================================================================================

code
activated:
chute=CreateThing(tpl_chute, player);
SetPulse(0.5);
AttachThingToThing(chute, player);
Print("Parachute Open");

Return;

# ..................................

deactivated:

DetachThing(chute);
DestroyThing(chute);
SetPulse(0);
Print("Parachute Detached");

Return;

# ...................................

killed:

DetachThing(chute);
DestroyThing(chute);
SetPulse(0);

Return;

# ...................................

pulse:

newvec=VectorSet(0, 0, 1);
scaled=VectorScale(newvec, 150); // the second parameter is the force.
ApplyForce(player, scaled);

Return;

# ...................................

selected:

   jkPrintUNIString(player, 271);
   Return;


# ........................................................................................

Are you sure AttachThingToThing is a valid verb? It might be but I don't recall seeing it.

Here you go , I had to fix quite a few errors and mishapes , but it's done. If you find the falling being to wonky just ask and i'll smooth it out. BTW you may not know it but you have to hold down the hotkey to have it conitonly working. If you let go , it will stop and you will fall. Have fun.

Code:

# Jedi Knight Cog Script
                  #
                  # item_chute.cog
                  #
                  # This is a parachute item. 
                  # When activated, it will slow the player's falling rate, and open up a parachute.
