Attaching Elements

[DrifTech]

I am developing a resource that will disable the horn and play a Server Defined sound (cooler horn) instead, i am able to play it but unable to get the sound to stay with the car.

Help anyone?

I know very little code

MTA can't attach sounds and some other elements so far if I remember correctly. Though client-side you can use onClientRender or onClientPreRender to move the sound towards the car every frame. And, with that, hear it near the car. Might require some thinking, but shouldn't be too hard.

Thanks, ill try it out now...

I have absolutely no idea how to make this work...

Can any of this forums scripter's give me a hand?

My goal is to attach a play3dSound to a vehicle so when it plays, which is only when a press a key, it follows car.

local attached = {}
 
function attachSoundTo(sound,element)
if isElement(sound) and isElement(element) then
       attached[sound]=element
return true
end
return false
end
 
function moveAttachedSoundsToElements()
for sound,element in pairs(attached) do
if isElement(sound) and isElement(element) then
setElementPosition(sound,getElementPosition(element))
else
           attached[sound]=nil
end
end
end
addEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(),moveAttachedSoundsToElements)

Just a quick script. Not sure if there are any errors in it or anything, probably isn't the best solution either, but it should give you an idea on how to do it.

Just use function attachSoundTo on your sound + vehicle and done.
