Attaching a Suitcase

[Cyandie]

Hey there I was wondering how would it be able to attach a suitcase to a 'thePlayer' or 'source' s Arm? ( If so could you give a example code it would be great if you could ).

Tank Hat From Wiki

function tankHat ( source, commandName ) 
      local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( source ) --Get the players position 
      local tank = createVehicle ( 432, x, y, z + 5 ) --Create a tank 
      attachElements ( tank, source, 0, 0, 5 ) --Attach the tank to the player. 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "hat", tankHat )

Here is my script i doesnt work too well, i cant get the rotation to set and it doesnt lock the the hand bone so when you walk it floats next to you but its still a start

function suitcase(source, commandName) 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( source ) 
    local attachedElements = getAttachedElements 
    local case = createObject(1210, x + 0.2, y, z , 0, 0, 0) 
    if exports.global:hasItem(source, 157) then 
    attachElements ( case, source, 0.2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) 
    exports.global:sendLocalMeAction(source, "out a briefcase and start's to carry it.") 
   end 
end 
addCommandHandler("suitcase", suitcase)

addCommandHandler("suitcase", 
    function(player, cmd) 
        local x, y, z = getElementPosition(player) 
        local case = createObject(1210, x, y, z, 0, 0, 0) 
        attachElements(case, player, 0.2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) 
    end 
)

Oh I thought it was your script earlier there, nevermind about that.

The thing is attachElements always attaches an element to another element at specified offset position and rotation. Once you attach it, it will stay at that position all the time like micheal1230 said.

...

Here is my script i doesnt work too well, i cant get the rotation to set and it doesnt lock the the hand bone so when you walk it floats next to you but its still a start

...

This is the correct behaviour of attachElements function. If you want the object to be attached to a bone you need to set elements position to the bone position and rotation on every frame (onClientRender or I'd advice to use onClientPreRender since this event is triggered before all positions are updated so it doesn't look like a lag). You can try to do it yourself if you're not afraid of challenges or you can download a resource which does that. I don't know its name but I'm pretty sure you will find it on community site (just search for "bone"). Or search forum, I'm sure this question has been asked before.

Good luck.

Thanks alot in advance

Did you get the resource working? or did you script frames ? if you didnt script frames could you maybe tell me how to get the resource to work?

[Cyandie]

Of course I did.
