Ok i need some help with attachElements

Let's say i have two objects with coordinates at 1185.015625, 3690.5087890625, 6.9000000953674 and 1177.4794921875, 3687.2998046875, 40.140277862549 to attach them i have put: attachElements ( object1, object 2, 0, 0, 0 ) How can i Attach the two of them but have them stay at their coordinates?

When you attach elements they are attached to one object with specific offset. If you offset it at 0,0,0 then it will be at the place of the element that you attach the element to. So, you need to offset it by the coords difference that these 2 elements are located to each other. You can solve it like so:

local x,y,z = getElementPosition( object1 );
local xx,yy,zz = getElementPosition( object2 );
local offsetX, offsetY, offsetZ = x - xx, y - yy, z - zz;
attachElements( object1, object2, offsetX, offsetY, offsetZ ); -- you may have to swap over object1 with object2

It is better than before but it still moves abit away from it's coordinates. Any more help on how to fix this?

I suggest you try to lower the coordinates, and start fine-tuning the coordinates because some coordinates will be off when you attach them.(from my own experience)

What do you mean by "lowering coordinates"?

[AeroXbird]

try playing with the coordinates by increasing and decreasing the values (first to see what happends/what way it goes when doing that)

then when you know how to move it, try to get it in the correct place, and fine tune it to remove little ledges

ah ok was messing around with them before to try and fix them. I guess I'll try a bit more. Thanks all
