[HELP]Re-attaching to moving object

[Tombaa]

I have been trying to use this script:

viewtopic.php?f=91&t=32662&p=344109&hilit=Attach#p344109

But the problem is, that when I once get it to attach, and detach after that, it wont attach to it anymore, before I restart script.

  
function attach ( hitElement ) 
    if ( getElementType( hitElement ) == "vehicle" ) then 
        attachElements ( arrow1, cH, -1417 - hullx, 531 - hully, 18.5 - hullz ) 
        attachElements ( hitElement, arrow1 ) 
    do 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", theMarker, attach ) 
      
function detach ( thePlayer, commandName ) 
    local pVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle( thePlayer ) 
    detachElements ( pVehicle ) 
 end 
addCommandHandler ( "detach", detach ) 
  

That is the code, could anyone please tell me, if there is some kind of loop thing or something, which I can use there.

Thanks in advance

first, pelase use

 tags!

its much easier to help you then.

2)what is cH, show full script

[Tombaa]

The cH is a carrier, that I have attached the marker and the arrow to. The full script is nothing more than creating the carrier objects, and attaching them to each other.

[karlis]

not sure, but maybe it doesn't like that you try to attach already attached object.

[Tombaa]

I just noticed, that it actually works, when the carrier is still, but when you move the carrier to somewhere else, than detach and try to attach again, than it wont attach again. If its in the same place as stated in the script, it does work.

How to fix it so that it attached everywhere?

Also interrested in this.

You can't ask 1 of the SAES scripters, since you are known there

[karlis]

i think both elements should be streamed in before the attaching.

use

  
setElementStreamable(arrow1,flase) 
setElementStreamable(hitElement,flase)

Are you trying that on a local server?

[Tombaa]

So how do you know I play in the SAES server Bularax?

And I test them on a selfhosted LAN server.

That in other words.

[Tombaa]

Yes, that one.

i have managed to find out the real problem i have. it is that the marker doesnt really attach to the carrier, so it doesnt move when the carrier does...
