[HELP] Taking camera position of other players

[Serius]

How can I get the camera position of the player I want I tried getCameraMartix but it just takes my camera

[Zango]

You need to sync the camera matrix between the player and the other players manually

triggerServerEvent -- Send the camera matrix from the player to the server
triggerClientEvent -- Send the camera matrix to the other players from the server

setElementData
getElementData

Did you know that getCameraMatrix is shared? So you could do it on the server side...

 

function getPlayerFromID(id)
    v = false
    for i, player in ipairs (getElementsByType("player")) do
        if getElementData(player, "ID") == id then
            v = player
            break
        end
    end
    return v
end

addCommandHandler("getcam", 
    function(player, _, id)
            if (tonumber(id)) then
            local playerID = getPlayerFromID(id)
            if (playerID) then
                local cameraMatrix = {getCameraMatrix(playerID)}
                outputChatBox("The player's camera matrix is: [1] x = "..(cameraMatrix[1])..", y = "..(cameraMatrix[2])..", z = "..(cameraMatrix[3]).." [2] x = "..(cameraMatrix[4])..", y = "..(cameraMatrix[5])..", z = "..(cameraMatrix[6]).." [3] x = "..(cameraMatrix[7])..", y = "..(cameraMatrix[8]), player)
            else
                outputChatBox("The player is not online", player)
            end
        else
            outputChatBox("You did not enter the id", player)
        end
    end
)

I think it's something like this! I hope this helps.

getCameraMatrix only works serverside if the camera is fixed with setCameraMatrix, it doesn't return GTA camera values.

Instead of element data, I recommend using triggerServerEvent to send the values to server, and triggerClientEvent to send to relevant (nearby) players.

getCameraMatrix só funciona no lado do servidor se a câmera for fixada com setCameraMatrix, não retorna os valores da câmera GTA.

Em vez de dados de elemento, eu recomendo usar triggerServerEvent para enviar os valores para o servidor e triggerClientEvent para enviar para jogadores relevantes (próximos).

Okay, sorry! New code:
 

-- Server-Side

addEvent("dataClient:CameraMatrix", true)
addEventHandler("dataClient:CameraMatrix", root,
    function(data)
        outputChatBox("The player camera matrix is: [1] x = "..(data[1])..", y = "..(data[2])..", z = "..(data[3]).." [2] x = "..(data[4])..", y = "..(data[5])..", z = "..(data[6]).." [3] x = "..(data[7])..", y = "..(data[8]), source)
    end
)

-- Client-Side

function getPlayerFromID(id)
    v = false
    for i, player in ipairs (getElementsByType("player")) do
        if getElementData(player, "ID") == id then
            v = player
            break
        end
    end
    return v
end

addCommandHandler("getcam", 
    function(_, id)
            if (tonumber(id)) then
            local playerID = getPlayerFromID(id)
            if (playerID) then
                local cameraMatrix = {getCameraMatrix(playerID)}
                triggerServerEvent("dataClient:CameraMatrix", localPlayer, cameraMatrix)
            else
                outputChatBox("The player is not online", localPlayer)
            end
        else
            outputChatBox("You did not enter the id", localPlayer)
        end
    end
)
