I am very curious how to make a para shoot in flowlab that will slow you down when falling.

Parachutes in real life are created by air friction. Obviously that’s not how flowlab works, since air doesn’t exist for 99.9% of flowlab games, so we’ll have to find other ways.
method #1
Have the object emit a continuous but small impulse or motor up, which would slow the object or player down. More versatile but prone to update and game setting change bugs.
method #2
Have a parachute animation and manually have it position or move down. Much more janky and better for cutscenes or minigames, but less prone to bugs in the future.
