Don't want to wast time piking the parachute on the missions?
Here's the solution:
When you're choosing the weap for your player or actor, you can't choose the parachute, but do it like this:
Spawn Pickup/Weapon/Parachute, then, delete the pickup, create the Player/Actor, and in the weapon selection, the parachute will be the first weapon you see, but if you change the weapon, you'll need to repeat the process, ho well, is this.
Hope this can help you in something, thx for reading

(Sorry for my bad english)

The actors don't open the parachute... :\

Really? Well, I don't know what's the problem, but it works with me

EDIT: Ok, correction, it doens't work very well, the player open the parachute but the game crashes (with me), but I have lot of crashs with my DYOM.
Try it by your own.

My mission is not on the contest because of this...

I have only ever used a parachute in one DYOM mission I created. The player picked up the parachute, got in a plane, flew in the air, and jumped out to land in a checkpoint. The parachute worked fine here.

It don't work fine when you teleport to the air, sometimes the parachute doesn't load...

[Chimpso]

Oh, Perhaps you should try this:

Make an object in the Air. Get the player to teleport on that and add a parachute spawn objective there.

Then get the game to hide the object after the parachute has been picked up.

I have never tried this. But It might work.

Ok, sorry, my fault, well, with me it open the parachute but then the game crash, whatever, do this.
Just do not spawn the player with the parachute, spawn the player with any weapon (better spawn without any weapon), and put a pickup/parachute exactly where the player spawn, and select "Spawn multiple times", so, when the player spawn, he will pick the parachute.

If the player spawns in the air, I don't know if it works, in that case, try what Chimpso said, but I don't know if the player spawns in the air, the parachute will be able to open.
In Fallen Angels, the first mission, when the plataform desapears, you have the parachute, and sometimes it doesn't open, maybe it is a bug of the game, well just try it.
