How should I do this?

hi scripters of mta, I had an idea to make a platform cj would automatically "slide" on for my parkour server.

so here is what i did:

function standingcheck()
	
	local slide_platform = getElementModel (getPedContactElement ( localPlayer )) --get the model of the object cj is standing on
	
	if slide_platform == 8558 then --if its this object then
		
		local x,y,z = getElementRotation ( localPlayer ) 
		
		--do some math with z variable here :D
		
		setElementVelocity ( localPlayer, 0, 0, 0) --push cj the way hes facing somehow
	end
end

addEventHandler ( "onClientPreRender", root, standingcheck ) 

thank you in advance.

Found this thing long ago and been using it on my scripts ever since, so props to the original creator:

function getPositionInFront(element,meters) 
   local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( element ) 
   local a,b,r = getVehicleRotation ( element ) 
   x = x - math.sin ( math.rad(r) ) * meters 
   y = y + math.cos ( math.rad(r) ) * meters 
   return x,y,z 
end 

This gets the position in front of the player.

I think I have used setElementVelocity before and I'm pretty sure that function won't work if the player is standing over a surface, so you should find a workaround. But try it anyway, I might be wrong.
