How could I do this?

[pa3ck]

Hi there, I'm trying to script some jobs, the first one is the delivery guy. What I want to do is, that a CP will be created behind the car, at the boot. It would be easy if the rotation of the car would not change, but it obviously changes, what would be the best way to do this?

getElementMatrix 

- will have every time the same x,y,z offset position no mather of the rotation , and after use

attachElements

Thanks for your help, but I have a little problem with it. This is a pic of the problem: http://i.imgur.com/2UreMY8.jpg and my code is:

addCommandHandler("matrix", function() 
function getMatrixLeft(m) 
        return m[1][1], m[1][2], m[1][3] 
end 
function getMatrixForward(m) 
        return m[2][1], m[2][2], m[2][3] 
end 
function getMatrixUp(m) 
        return m[3][1], m[3][2], m[3][3] 
end 
function getMatrixPosition(m) 
        return m[4][1], m[4][2], m[4][3] 
end 
local veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer) 
local mat = getElementMatrix(veh)   
local ax, ay, az = getElementPosition(veh) 
  
  
vx,vy,vz = getMatrixForward(mat)  
  
cp = createMarker(ax, ay, az, "checkpoint", 1) 
attachElements(cp, veh, vx, vy - 6, vz) 
end) 

I dont know if I'm on the right track...

Any idea?

What is the problem?

The problem is, that the position of the marker changes, so the marker is not exactly at the boot, as it's on the ss.
