Attach parachute to player

[2kristof2]

Hey, I have no idea how to attach a parachute to local player. I used simple attachElements but It looks horrible. Can somebody tell me how to get a better effect? (like in gta parachute). I couldn't find the solution in parachute resource.

U can't i think because the parachute is attached to an animation in MTA Version

You can ! Wumbaloo you are kinda new to MTA, I don't want to be rude but if you are not sure, just don't say it. (It sounds rude I know, but i don't know how to better write it)

You need to use matrix calculations. But it requires some advanced math calculations.

I don't know the logics and calculations myself but I can tell you that you have to use that along with the bones positions of the player model:

getPedBonePosition

You can try to do it yourself (for the sake of learning) but @CrystalMV made a resource that provides you new functions that does the maths for you:

Bone attachments:

Documentation: http://crystalmv.net84.net/pages/script ... attach.php

You should be able to attach your parachute properly with that.

Best regards,

Thanks

I tried to use getPedBonePosition yesterday but without any result. :c

I also checked CrystalMV's script and it seems to be very interesting but also complicated for me. I copied functions from attach_func.lua and added few lines to my parachute script:

local Me = getLocalPlayer() 
local x,y,z = getElementPosition( Me ) 
local rx,ry,rz = getElementRotation( Me ) 
parachute = createObject(371, x,y,z, rx, ry, rz) 
exports.bone_attach:attachElementToBone(parachute,Me, 3, 0, 0.25, 0.17,-90,2,0) 

It doesn't work for me but I'm going to try it once again.

I would be so glad to see any advice what should I do or use

It works just fine for me (just need some adjustments though):

You need to:

1 - Download the bone_attach.zip and place it in your resources folder

2 - Start the bone_attach resource or you won't be able to use the exported functions.

3 - Use the code you just pasted in the previous post.

You can add an tag in your meta to start the bone_attach resource automatically with your resource.

The problem is I want to use this function only for 1 map which must be client sided. I tried to copy attach_func.lua, bone_attach.lua and bone_attach_c.lua to my map folder and added these lines to meta:

Unfortunately it doesn't work properly.

It worked when I changed bone id but only when I use bone_attach resource, how to make it only for 1 map client-sided?

Edit: I think I solved the problem If I find new issues I'll bump this topic. Thanks Citizen

PS if someone have an idea which bone would be the best to attach a parachute please write.
