attachelement

[GerardWay]

i am not sure how to use attachelement and where to use it i want to attach objects to different vehicles can anyone help me plz?

[bandi94]

addEventHandler("onVehicleEnter", getRootElement(), 
 function(thePlayer, seat, jacked) 
  currentElement = createObject(3790, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0)--- the object what to attach 3790 is the object id  
  attachElements(currentElement, source, 1.08, 0.98, 0.28, 0.0, 0.0, 267.994) --- attach to the vehicle currentElement is the object, source is the car and the numbers are the  distance form the car x,y,z and rotation x,y,z  
end) 

server side

Better way! :

function attach (Player, Command, ID, rotX, rotY, rotZ) 
  local car = getPedOccupiedVehicle(Player) 
  local posX, posY, posZ = getElementPosition(car) 
  local object = createObject (ID, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) 
    attachElements (object, car, posX, posY, posZ, rotX, rotY, rotZ) 
else 
outputChatBox ("* Error!", Player, 255, 0, 0) 
end 
  
addCommandHandler("attach", attach) 
addCommandHandler("removeattach", function(Player, command) destroyElement(getElementsAttachedTo(getPedOccupiedVehicle(Player))) end 

You should enter the ID of the object you want to attach to your car, then enter rotation X, Y and Z

Example : /attach 12450 0 0 90

To remove attached elements, type /removeattach

Hope it works for you!

I put some effort on that!

attachElements (object, car, posX, posY, posZ, rotX, rotY, rotZ) 

xPosOffset: The x offset, if you want the elements to be a certain distance from one another (default 0).

yPosOffset: The y offset (default 0).

zPosOffset: The z offset (default 0).

xRotOffset: The x rotation offset (default 0).

yRotOffset: The y rotation offset (default 0).

zRotOffset: The z rotation offset (default 0).

and

else 
outputChatBox ("* Error!", Player, 255, 0, 0) 
end 

else @ a functions?

Where is the effort really i can't see any effort in a 11 line code.

I use this for attaching:

function attachRotationAdjusted ( from, to ) 
    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 ) 
    local DEG2RAD = (math.pi * 2) / 360 
    rx = rx * DEG2RAD 
    ry = ry * DEG2RAD 
    rz = rz * DEG2RAD 
    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 

use it like: attachRotationAdjusted(object, vehicle)

Example:

addCommandHandler("attach", 
function(player) 
local x, y, z = getElementPosition(player) 
local veh = createVehicle(411, x, y+3, z) 
local obj = createObject(2985, x, y+3, z+1) 
attachRotationAdjusted(obj, veh) 

This will create an infernus and attach a minigun base object to the top of it.
