attachElements Problem

[Overkillz]

Hey dear community, today I started to read about attachElements, well, I would like to attach a Spoiler to my infernus, I've already got the .dff file but I couldn't do it.

function attachU ( source, commandName ) 
      local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( source ) 
      local aleron1 = engineLoadDFF ( "test.dff", 411 ) 
      local aleron = createElement ( aleron1, x, y, z + 3 ) 
      attachElements ( aleron, source, 0, 0, 5 ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "aleron", attachU ) 

DebugScript 3 drops me this message:

I hope you can help me, thanks for your time.

Regards.

You have to modify your script-tag in meta.xml by enabling the type attribute for client (type="client").

element createElement ( string elementType, [ string elementID = nil ] )

you need to use createObject if You Want To Attach like this ex :

function attachU ( plr, commandName ) 
      local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( plr ) 
      local aleron1 = engineLoadDFF ( "test.dff", 411 ) 
      local aleron = createObject ( 980, x, y, z + 3 ) 
      attachElements ( aleron, plr, 0, 0, 5 ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "aleron", attachU )

Your script is never going to work.

You need to replace an existing vehicle upgrade or attach an object with a replaced model and texture. It's not as simple as you thought it's going to be.

@#,+( _xiRoc[K]; > - it just add an object above my position. Im trying to attach my own element.

@myonlake - I didnt understand both answer, Im trying to implement the model "test.tff" which is a spoiler for a car. Well, are you telling me that i can't implement it ? Sorry, I didnt understand that part.

I could fix my problem, but now Im getting a problem with the gamera, when I turn the spoiler on, it moves my camera so close between my camera and vehicle.

Actully it's simple, adding the spoiler to the car dff file

then hiding/showing it using

setVehicleComponentVisible 

With this method you'll even be able to change the spoiler color ingame
