Drawing a 2D ontop of a car (3D positioning)

[.:HyPeX:.]

Hello, so far i tried some nasty things but with no succeed...

My first guess was something like this:

local _,_,rot = getElementRotation(veh2) 
local size = getElementRadius ( veh2 ) 
local x,y,z = getElementPosition(veh2) 
local nx,ny = getPointFromDistanceRotation(x,y,size*0.7,rot) 
local cx,cy,cz = getPositionFromElementOffset(veh2, nx,ny,z+size) 

This wasnt even close to work at all actually...

My second guess i thought it was closer (But actually just trying to get something to work at all), but it is somehow not working...

  
local x,y,z = getElementPosition(veh1) 
dxDrawRectangle3D( x, y,z+10,10, 10,tocolor(255,255,255,255)) 
  

Any help regarding to this would be appreciated.

My idea was to make the box appear just on top of the car as a podium, wich i couldnt achieve at all right now...

Try to use getPositionFromElementOffset which can be found in getElementMatrix. These use vector space coordinates, so 0, 0, 0 would be the center of the car.

And then use that in cojunction with getScreenFromWorldPosition.
