Parachutes not deploying after repacked

[Benie]

I'll keep this brief. My unmanned Rover/Lander, I send it up to my space station, get one of my Kerbals to EVA and repack the chutes, then send the lander down again.

The chutes won't deploy again. They are green in color as in they were deployed already, and get in the same stage as my rockets.

I know you can assign an action key, but will it pop the chutes again after packing to help my decent? Some things cannot be triggered again, or deactivated once activated (such as coms).

Dic you try clicking them and using the gui to deploy them? Also stupid question, but are you 100% sure that you're trying to land somewhere that has an atmosphere?

[Benie]

I can still click on them as it's falling towards the ground, and I know when it's time to deploy them. I've landed on Duna multiple times (mostly crashing, but I'm training).

It has 6 parachutes. So I need to have all 6 deployed at the same time. It works once with staging, but the problem is it only works once.

That's weird. I'll test this tomorrow :l

This is a known problem. Parachutes that have been deployed once will not deploy again via staging. You should be able to deploy them manually, and they might still work through action groups.

Yeah they work fine with an action group.

Ok, good. That's all I wanted to know; a way to re-deploy once deployed before.
