Package always on back

[DarkLink]

Hi there guys, I read something by 50p on another post on how to do this.. and from what I understood on that day, I would need to use onClientPreRender, and setElementPosition and setElementRotation on the handler function of the event...

So I made this:

  
  
local object 
function pickweed() 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(getLocalPlayer()) 
    local xr,yr,zr = getElementRotation(getLocalPlayer()) 
    object = createObject (1578, x,y-0.0999755859,z+0.300000191) 
    setElementRotation(object, xr, yr+82, zr+270) 
     
    addEventHandler ( "onClientPreRender", getRootElement(), updateObjectCoords) 
end 
addCommandHandler ("pick", pickweed ) 
  
function updateObjectCoords() 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(getLocalPlayer()) 
    local xr,yr,zr = getElementRotation(getLocalPlayer()) 
    setElementPosition(object, x,y-0.0999755859,z+0.300000191) 
    setElementRotation(object, xr, yr+82, zr+270) 
     
end 
  

And I guess its fine, but the camera changes gets ZOOMED alot... I dont know why

I tryed to change camera with "V" key and nothing ...

Thanks alot in advance guys !

I think that's because it has collision which camera cannot go though. Try disabling the collision of object:

setElementCollisionsEnabled

function pickweed() 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(localPlayer) 
    local xr,yr,zr = getElementRotation(localPlayer) 
    object = createObject (1578, x,y-0.0999755859,z+0.300000191) 
    setElementRotation(object, xr, yr+82, zr+270) 
    addEventHandler("onClientPreRender",root,updateObjectCoords) 
end 
addCommandHandler ("pick", pickweed ) 
  
function updateObjectCoords() 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(localPlayer) 
    local xr,yr,zr = getElementRotation(localPlayer) 
    setElementPosition(object, x,y-0.0999755859,z+0.300000191) 
    setElementRotation(object, xr, yr+82, zr+270) 
    setElementCollisionsEnabled(object, false) 
end

Problem solved !

function pickweed() 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(localPlayer) 
    local xr,yr,zr = getElementRotation(localPlayer) 
    object = createObject (1578, x,y-0.0999755859,z+0.300000191) 
    setElementRotation(object, xr, yr+82, zr+270) 
    addEventHandler("onClientPreRender",root,updateObjectCoords) 
end 
addCommandHandler ("pick", pickweed ) 
  
function updateObjectCoords() 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(localPlayer) 
    local xr,yr,zr = getElementRotation(localPlayer) 
    setElementPosition(object, x,y-0.0999755859,z+0.300000191) 
    setElementRotation(object, xr, yr+82, zr+270) 
    setElementCollisionsEnabled(object, false) 
end 
  

You don't have to do it on every frame. Just disable collision after creating the object.

You want attach an object on the back of player? if yes just use the function attachElements()

Okay thanks alot mate, got it fixed

Or even better, attach it using bone attachments resource from here or here and it will move and rotate with the body part which it is attached to.
