I feel so bad about having you try so many things for me! LOL! Hope its OK. I just want to learn and gain skills

I have tested the script above, and I don't get any errors with it, but they still spawn ontop of eachother

with the script above they will attach to the first ped

here is how you really attach them right

function getPlayerBackPos(player) -- use this to spawn the ped behind player when its perfect use attachRotationAdjusted 
    local rotz = getPedRotation(player) 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition(player) 
    x = x + ( math.cos ( math.rad ( rotz-90 ) ) * 2)-- keep lowering "2" untill you find it perfect for you 
    y = y + ( math.sin ( math.rad ( rotz-90 ) ) * 2)-- keep lowering "2" untill you find it perfect for you 
    return x, y, z 
end 
-- and when they spawn perfect use this function 
  
function attachRotationAdjusted ( from, to ) 
    -- Note: Objects being attached to ('to') should have at least two of their rotations set to zero 
    --       Objects being attached ('from') should have at least one of their rotations set to zero 
    -- Otherwise it will look all funny 
  
    local frPosX, frPosY, frPosZ = getElementPosition( from ) 
    local frRotX, frRotY, frRotZ = getElementRotation( from ) 
    local toPosX, toPosY, toPosZ = getElementPosition( to ) 
    local toRotX, toRotY, toRotZ = getElementRotation( to ) 
    local offsetPosX = frPosX - toPosX 
    local offsetPosY = frPosY - toPosY 
    local offsetPosZ = frPosZ - toPosZ 
    local offsetRotX = frRotX - toRotX 
    local offsetRotY = frRotY - toRotY 
    local offsetRotZ = frRotZ - toRotZ 
  
    offsetPosX, offsetPosY, offsetPosZ = applyInverseRotation ( offsetPosX, offsetPosY, offsetPosZ, toRotX, toRotY, toRotZ ) 
  
    attachElements( from, to, offsetPosX, offsetPosY, offsetPosZ, offsetRotX, offsetRotY, offsetRotZ ) 
end 
  
  
function applyInverseRotation ( x,y,z, rx,ry,rz ) 
    -- Degress to radians 
    local DEG2RAD = (math.pi * 2) / 360 
    rx = rx * DEG2RAD 
    ry = ry * DEG2RAD 
    rz = rz * DEG2RAD 
  
    -- unrotate each axis 
    local tempY = y 
    y =  math.cos ( rx ) * tempY + math.sin ( rx ) * z 
    z = -math.sin ( rx ) * tempY + math.cos ( rx ) * z 
  
    local tempX = x 
    x =  math.cos ( ry ) * tempX - math.sin ( ry ) * z 
    z =  math.sin ( ry ) * tempX + math.cos ( ry ) * z 
  
    tempX = x 
    x =  math.cos ( rz ) * tempX + math.sin ( rz ) * y 
    y = -math.sin ( rz ) * tempX + math.cos ( rz ) * y 
  
    return x, y, z 
end

i think this will work i tested it before just

keep lowering the 2 in getPlayerBackPosition function untill its perfect for you and use the attachRotationAdjusted function

unknooooown · June 16, 2011

Thank you. I will have a look at the script above later tonight.

At first glance it doesn't make any sense to me what so ever, but I will do my best to figure out how to add it to my script.

Thanks.

JR10 · June 16, 2011

The script are just functions that will help you

getPlayerBackPos(player) - will calculate the players behind x, y, z you can use it to create the ped behind another one

attachRotationAdjusted(object, to) - will attach objects the way they are so you don't have to adjust offsets

here:

    x = x + ( math.cos ( math.rad ( rotz-90 ) ) * 2)-- keep lowering "2" untill you find it perfect for you 
    y = y + ( math.sin ( math.rad ( rotz-90 ) ) * 2)-- keep lowering "2" untill you

in getPlayerBackPos function you can lower the "2" to get a lower space behind him like 1.1 or 1.05 or 1.01 for really close or even lower you try and decide

unknooooown · June 16, 2011

@JR10 - Hehe. That part I understand ^^

I just dont see how I can impliment it into my exsisting script. I mean, where should I add it and where/what should I call it for? I am very very very confused about all this.

@JR10 - I am soooo confused!

When I look at the new added part of the script, I don't see it linked to my other functions in any way at all, other than it being in the same script.

When I run it I get Warnings on line 82 & 83, and an error on line 84.

I understand what the new part of the script does, I just dont have any idea how to make it work with the exsisting script.

JR10 · June 16, 2011

The whole problem is with the ped table

because the function works i have tested it before here where it is:

local x, y, z = getPlayerBackPos(peds[#peds]) 
 local rotz = getPedRotation(peds[#peds]) 
 peds[newPed] = createPed ( 0, x, y, z, rotz ) 
attachRotationAdjusted( peds[newPed], peds[lastPed])

the table thing is just a mess

unknooooown · June 16, 2011

Think this is too complicated for me at this point.

Think I have to make some less advanced scripts before I understand any of this.

When I hit the first marker a new ped is created, but not attached to the player.

When I hit the second marker, another ped is created behind the first ped, but still not connected to the the player.

I get these errors:

Now the new peds are lined up on a row just the way I want (With more space than needed, but I know how to change that), but they are still not attached to the player.

After this i honestly don't know, i spent my day trying to figure out this and maybe it's a stupid mistake we can't see right now.

Sorry.

unknooooown · June 16, 2011

Hmm. Think I give the script a break for now and return to it at some other time, so see if I can figure out whats wrong.

Thank you so much for helping me all day with the script. I really appreciate it a lot!

I hope it didnt ruin your entire day! LOL

JR10 · June 16, 2011

No problem.

I'm still pissed off that i couldn't fix it.

I will give it a look tommorow though.

It has to be possible to make the script work. I have always heard that nothing is impossible when it comes to scripting

Almost nothing is impossible when it comes to scripting

Because you can't make cj come out of the screen and say hi Jacob can you?

but again yes your script should work and tonight or tommorow i will test it myself.

Your problem: You did: attachElements ( newPed1, thePlayer, 0, -0.2, 0) but it was lastPed not newPed1, I tested ant it works.

Whew! i did it!,

but,

there is 1 problem that the peds are not rotated as the player so the payer might be lookin > and the peds looking ^

This will work i tested it.

you should use table.insert to add the peds to a table

And set a timer that will set the peds rotation to the player rotation shouldnt be hard.
