help make object

[Monument]

hello

i want make when player press b

create object forward player and can all players see it

[Tekken]

Hi, for that you will need the following functions:

bindKey

createObject

attachElements (maybe?) 

and you have to do it in server side to assure others will see it!

Good luck, and if you need help we’re here!

If you use attachElements you use the y pos ex. y+2

There are a few threads on the forum with the same subject.
Don't be shy to use the search feature! 

Here is what I found which might be the answer for you (not written by me):

function getPositionInfrontOfElement ( element , meters ) 
    if not element or not isElement ( element ) then 
        return false 
    end 
    if not meters then 
        meters = 3 
    end 
    local posX , posY , posZ = getElementPosition ( element ) 
    local _ , _ , rotation = getElementRotation ( element ) 
    posX = posX - math.sin ( math.rad ( rotation ) ) * meters 
    posY = posY + math.cos ( math.rad ( rotation ) ) * meters 
    return posX , posY , posZ 
end

    return posX , posY , posZ 
end 

 

i have seen all topics but i don't know what argument to setElementPosition Use
in your Code use posX,posY,posZ Right ?

[Tekken]

function getPositionInfrontOfElement ( element , meters ) 
    if not element or not isElement ( element ) then 
        return false 
    end 
    if not meters then 
        meters = 3 
    end 
    local posX , posY , posZ = getElementPosition ( element ) 
    local _ , _ , rotation = getElementRotation ( element ) 
    posX = posX - math.sin ( math.rad ( rotation ) ) * meters 
    posY = posY + math.cos ( math.rad ( rotation ) ) * meters 
    return posX , posY , posZ 
end

Use it like that:

local fx, fy, fz = getPositionInfrontOfElement(player, 5);
-- get the x,y,z positions 5 meters in front of player!
createObject(OBJECTID, fx, fy, fz);

Remember getPositionInfrontOfElement is a useful function so you will have to paste the code above in order to work!
