Calculating position

[DjSt3rios]

Hello. I need some help. I would like to calculate the position in front of the player's vehicle. I tried a few things but nothing seems to work. Do you have any idea how to do that?

Hello! (Looks like courteous people are a rare thing on this forum)

A much easier and more efficient way of doing this is with the element matrix:

  
local fMatrix = getElementMatrix( iVehicle ) 
  
-- Calculate a position that is 10 units (meters) in front of the vehicle's position. 
local X = fMatrix[4][1] + ( fMatrix[2][1] * 10 ) 
local Y = fMatrix[4][2] + ( fMatrix[2][2] * 10 ) 
local Z = fMatrix[4][3] + ( fMatrix[2][3] * 10 )
