so a friend and me was talking about the new features in 0.75 and then he ask if they have now fastropes on heli! i told him that this is hardcode and we talked a while! so my friend told me this:
I thought it might be possible to "copy the parachute code" and do a second chute, that only works close to heli, does not damage when u drop less then 30 secs (so like the BF2 chute) and is part of every soldiers equipment.
only problem might be those, who got a normal chute...

i dont know if it work but if it works then answer and pls ONLY answers from coders or people which knowing about the hardcode!

I'm 80% sure it won't work, and if it will it'll look like ****. And I kinda know some stuff about coding.

Tell him

mkey i told it to him it was only an idea but thx for the answers

If it was possible, the maybe switching the code to kill you if you drop more than say 2 seconds to keep people from paradropping .......

But then again, I would have to guess that they tried this but who knows ......

I bet it could work... but it's still not fastroping. What you're describing is more or less paradropping from a helicopter with some additional restrictions. Unless I actually see the rope, with the troops sliding down it any other work around can't possibly be called fastroping.

i guess we were a little overdue for a fastrope suggestion...

Locking, for obvious reasons (seriously people, if it's something you can think of...it has been tried)
