how to use entities to make a parachute mod

[ErrorNull]

Hello! I'm planning to make a parachute mod... player jumps off a cliff and with a parachute in the hotbar, player uses the item and an opened parachute appears above player and slows the fall to a gentle glide. So in essence, i believe the mod will need to spawn an entity and attach to player, then have to make the entity reduce the acceleration. I don't have much experience yet with entities, but I think this is how it should be done? Some rough pseudocode:

1. register parachute entity with minetest.register_entity()
2. player uses parachute
3. if (player's feet not in air) then parachute not used
4. else, deploy parachute with minetest.add_entity() one or two nodes above player
5. attach player to parachute entity
6. set parachute acceleration (or velocity?) down to slow player's fall
7. make parachute disappear when player's feet touch the ground

Can someone give me some guidance on what functions I need to use to do this (mostly lines 4, 5, 6, and 7) or a mod that you know that can reveal what entity functions i must use and how to use them? Thanks!

Perfect! thanks mahmutelmas.. since looks like parachute already exists i will then change my idea to something like winged boots or angel wings or something like that... to keep with fantasy story setting. i'll study the code from webdesigner97's parachute mod so i can learn using entities.
