Parachute delay?

1,234 IMULAerospaceIndustries  2.1 years ago

So I’m trying to make an ejection seat, and I’ve got everything working properly. There’s a simple throttle positioned in between the leg bits of the fancy seat, pushing it down ejects you, the seat and camera get launched, but the parachute deploys instantly. Is there a way to set a deployment delay so it opens only after a certain time has passed?

    Extra fun fact:
    If you make the number 1/x, x will be the number of seconds for the delay

    I haven't tested this, but I'm fairly certain floor(smooth(Activate#, 1)) would work.
    Of course, you should change Activate# to your actual ejection input.
    You can also change the number to adjust the delay. Making the number smaller increases the delay.
