Cant rotate attached object

[Xwad]

Hi i made a script where i attach an m4 gun to a car. Its working ,the only problem is that i cant rotate the weapon when its attached to the vehicle:/ Maybe the setElementRotation is not good for that?

  
function attach(theElement) 
local x,y,z = getElementPosition ( vehicle ) 
local x,y,z = getElementPosition(localPlayer) 
local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle (localPlayer) 
local rotX, rotY, rotZ = getElementRotation(weapon)  
if vehicle then 
weapon = createWeapon("m4", x, y, z+10) 
setElementRotation(weapon,rotX,rotY+4,rotZ+43) 
setWeaponState(weapon, "ready") 
attachElements ( weapon, vehicle, -0.4, 0.5, 1.5 ) 
outputChatBox ( "Machinegun attached!" ) 
end 
end 
addEvent( "attach", true ) 
addEventHandler( "attach", localPlayer, attach )

No, you can not use setElementRotation on attached objects. See these 2 functions instead;

getElementAttachedOffsets 
setElementAttachedOffsets

i tried to rotate it but its not working:/ Whats the problem?

-- Offsets 
local x,y,z,rx,ry,rz= 0,0.2,1.5,0,0,90 
  
function createArmedBobcat(cmd, commandName) 
    local lx, ly, lz = getElementPosition(localPlayer) -- get the position of the player 
    lx = lx + 5 -- add 5 units to the x position 
  
  
    base = createWeapon("m4", x, y, z) 
    veh = createVehicle( 470, lx, ly, lz) -- create a bobcat 
    setElementCollisionsEnabled ( base, false ) -- the minigun_base damages the car 
    -- you could alternatively load an empty col file for the minigun object 
    attachElements ( base, veh,  x,y,z,rx,ry,rz) -- attach the base to the bobcat 
end 
  
function rotateIt(cmd, addZ) 
    if(addZ) then 
        local x, y, z, rx, ry, rz = getElementAttachedOffsets (base) -- get the offsets 
        rz = rz + addZ 
        setElementAttachedOffsets (base, x, y, z, rx+10, ry, rz+5) -- update offsets 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("car", createArmedBobcat) 
addCommandHandler("rotate", rotateIt)

can i also rotate player with setElementAttachedOffsets? becaouse i tryed it and its not working with player only with objects

  
function attach() 
        setPedAnimation ( source, "SILENCED", "SilenceCrouchfire", 1, false, false, false, true ) 
        attachElements ( source, weapon, 0, 0.06, 0, 10, 20, 30 )  
        toggleControl (source,"fire", false) 
        local x, y, z, xr, yr, yz = getElementAttachedOffsets(source) 
        setElementAttachedOffsets(source, 3, 4, 4, 25, 50, 30) <-- look here. The player rotation is not changing.. 
        end 
addEvent("attachPlayerToMinigun", true) 
addEventHandler("attachPlayerToMinigun",getRootElement(), attach)
