How to get a model rotated

[RobbieG-NL]

Hello,

Today I finally made this show my model in MTA (viewtopic.php?f=91&t=50434&p=493519). Unfortunately I can't get the seperate parts to be rotated in the correct way. I can only rotate the first part (line 2, by changing the 0 into another number for degrees). What I want to do is give the 4 seperate parts their own rotation. I'm pretty sure line 3 has something to do with it, but since I am a total idiot/n00b when it comes to coding, I'm not sure at all. Been trying for some hours now, in numerous ways, but so far, without any success. What am I missing here?

local modelsToReplace = {1915} 
local castleBasePosition, castleZRotation = {20, -1995, 5}, 0 --Located just west of Area 69. 
local castleObjects = {--{modelID, xOffset, yOffset, zOffset} 
    {1915, -129.182, 0, 0, 0, 0, 270}, 
    {1915, -129.182, -129.182, 0, 0, 0, 180}, 
    {1915, 0, -129.182, 0, 0, 0, 90}, 
    {1915, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, 
} 
  
local function resourceStart() 
    local castle = createElement("castle", "castlea") 
    setElementPosition(castle, castleBasePosition[1], castleBasePosition[2], castleBasePosition[3]) 
    setElementRotation(castle, 0, 0, castleZRotation) 
     
    for i,v in ipairs(castleObjects) do 
        local x, y, z = (castleBasePosition[1] + v[2]), (castleBasePosition[2] + v[3]), (castleBasePosition[3] + v[4]) 
        local newObject = createObject(v[1], x, y, z, 0, 0, castleZRotation) 
        setElementParent(newObject, castle) 
    end 
     
    for i,v in ipairs(modelsToReplace) do 
        local texture = engineLoadTXD("castle.txd") 
        engineImportTXD(texture, v) 
        local colission = engineLoadCOL("castle.col") 
        local model = engineLoadDFF("castle.dff", 1915) 
        engineReplaceCOL(colission, v) 
        engineReplaceModel(model, v) 
        engineSetModelLODDistance(v, 500) 
    end 
     
    local castleBlip = createBlip(castleBasePosition[1], castleBasePosition[2], castleBasePosition[3], 19, 2, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0, 500) 
    setElementParent(castleBlip, castle) 
     
    --This is to reload the collision data when the local player gets near the castle 
    local streamingColShape = createColCircle(castleBasePosition[1], castleBasePosition[2], 250) 
    setElementParent(streamingColShape, castle) 
    addEventHandler("onClientColShapeHit", streamingColShape, streamInCastle) 
    --addEventHandler("onClientColShapeLeave", streamingColShape, streamOutCastle) 
     
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, resourceStart) 
  
--Streams the castle IN 
function streamInCastle(hitElement, dimensionMatch) 
    if hitElement ~= localPlayer or not dimensionMatch then 
        return 
    end 
     
    for i,v in ipairs(modelsToReplace) do 
        local texture = engineLoadTXD("castle.txd") 
        engineImportTXD(texture, v) 
        local colission = engineLoadCOL("castle.col") 
        local model = engineLoadDFF("castle.dff", 0) 
        engineReplaceCOL(colission, v) 
        engineReplaceModel(model, v) 
        engineSetModelLODDistance(v, 500) 
    end 
end 

BTW, debugscript is giving me no errors or anything.

Try that.

Hahaha, nice. I've had something else working in the meantime, but that required me to copy/paste most of the script 4 times. This is a much cleaner way to do it. Thanks a million.

Got another question though: can I add interior objects in this same lua script? If so, how? Or would it be better to do that in a new file? Again, if so, how?

[Castillo]

What do you mean by interior objects?

[RobbieG-NL]

Lmao, never mind that. I figured it out.

By interior objects I meant the standard GTA interiors that are used in houses, for example: ID 14502

Turns out I can now simple add lines under the coordinates for ID's 1915. Thanks a lot. If you ever need a model of anything, just let me know and I'll do what I can for you. I can make them small in kb's or very detailed with more kb's. Any way you like it.

Thanks a lot for all your time, effort and patience.

[Castillo]

You're welcome.
