Attaching minigun to a car.

I made this little code, but the minigun's fire is a bit weird. Its not shooting straight... Here's the pic of it:

The code is the following:

addEventHandler('onClientResourceStart', getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), function() 
    local tp = getLocalPlayer() 
    local veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle(tp) 
    local vx, vy, vz = getElementPosition(veh) 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition(tp) 
    local minigun1 = createWeapon('minigun', vx, vy, vz) 
    local minigun2 = createWeapon('minigun', vx, vy, vz) 
    attachElements(minigun1, veh, 0.8, 1.3, 0.7, 20, 30, 90) 
    attachElements(minigun2, veh, -0.57, 1.3, 0.7, 20, 30, 90) 
     
    function fire() 
        if getKeyState("num_6") == true then 
            fireWeapon(minigun1) 
        elseif getKeyState("num_4") == true then 
            fireWeapon(minigun2) 
        end 
    end 
    addEventHandler('onClientRender', getRootElement(), fire) 
     
end)

The minigun created by createWeapon has a rotation problem, if you change it to be correctly in place, it'll fire in the wrong position.

What you could do is, create two weapons, one will be just visual, and the other will be the actual firing weapon.

P.S: You don't need to use fireWeapon every render, you can use setWeaponState.

Ohh, okay, thank you. Can I set one of them invisible ( actually the one that fires )? Is there any function for that? And I used onClientRender to check if the key is pressed down this was the simpliest solution I thought of

Yeah, you can change the alpha to 0 using:

setElementAlpha
