How to attach a camera to an element?

[Cassandra]

Is there any way? Basically, I am creating a vehicle which will move from one point to another and will be invisible. I want the camera to be attached on that vehicle so if the vehicle moves, the camera moves along with it.

Maybe you can get the camera matrix of the vehicle and then set it to yours ..

or just very basic:

SetCameraTarget

Well, it says

Currently supported element type is:

Players

Does it still supports vehicles or objects?

I don't think so ..

Maybe in another version of MTA ..!

hmm, (I never used it before on vehicles and did not notice that)

setElementAlpha ( vehicle,0)

-- onClientRender.  
local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle (localPlayer) -- not needed, when you already have a vehicle 
if vehicle then 
 local Sx,Sy,Sz = getElementPosition (vehicle) 
 local _,_, pR         = getElementRotation (localPlayer) 
 pR =  ((pR+90) * 3.141592653 * 2)/360; --edit "90" to change the rotation. 
 local lookAtX, lookAtY, lookAtZ = Sx + math.cos(pR)*5, Sy + math.sin(pR)*5, Sz 
 setCameraMatrix (Sx,Sy,Sz+4, lookAtX, lookAtY, lookAtZ+4)-- +4 high camera 
end
