Attaching object to rhinos turret

[Xwad]

Hi i tryed to attach an object to the rhino vehicle but when the rhinos turret is rotating then the object is not moving. Is it possible to attach it to the rhinos turret? Thanks!

I was wondering the same thing

Only way I can think of atm is to get the rotation of the turret and make it constantly correct the objects location.

I made the script but its not working correctly:/ I set the rotation of the object but i also need to set the position. How can i do that? pls help

  
function object() 
local veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( localPlayer ) 
local x,y,z = getElementPosition(veh) 
local id = getElementModel ( veh ) 
if id == 432 then 
object = createObject ( 356, x,y,z) 
attachElements ( object, veh, 0, 0, 0, 0, 7, 96 ) 
addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), rotate_object) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientVehicleEnter", getRootElement(), object) 
  
  
  
function rotate_object() 
local veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( localPlayer ) 
local tx,ty = getVehicleTurretPosition ( veh ) 
ty = math.deg ( -ty ) 
tx = math.deg ( tx ) 
setElementAttachedOffsets ( object, 0.56, 1.15, 1.3, 0, ty+7, tx+96) 
end

now its wokring! i made it on a funny way:D I created another object to the middle and attached the other object to it.

[Captain Cody]

that certainly works

one more question: why is this code not working? the projectile is not shooting

function shootProjectile() 
    local veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer) 
    if(veh) and getVehicleModel(veh) == 601 then     
    local tx, ty = getVehicleTurretPosition ( veh) 
        createProjectile(veh, 19, tx,ty,2) 
    end 
end

Attaching an object to the center and then attach another object to rotate it correctly is honestly a genius way to get around the offset calculations lol

I do the same thing for a different usage

GetVehicleModel is deprecated, use getElementModel lol

I already did that. Now i have a new problem. Since 1.5.2 released your vreload script causes always game crashes so i decided to make a new script like yours. I created a script that makes possible to shoot projectiles with the swat tank. My problem is that the projectile is not shooting to the direction where the turret is looking at. I hope you can help me. Thanks

  
function shootProjectile()    local veh =getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer)    if(veh) and getVehicleModel(veh) == 601then       local tx, ty = getVehicleTurretPosition (veh)        createProjectile(veh, 19, tx,ty,2)    endend

just download newest vreload or manually remove setElementModel(projectile) out of the resource and it will not crash anymore

Yeah but i have more problems with you resource: the crosshair is Too much on the top. I want to make a script where the crosshair is lower if you know what i mean

- Change the cords for the crosshair issue solved..

Download the resource and you will see that its not so easy as you think, Its more complicated. If i change i crosshairs position that will not change the shooting direction..

now my only question is: I want to set the projectiles direction to the turrets direction. Whats the problem in my script?

function shootProjectile()    
local veh =getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer)    
 if(veh) and getVehicleModel(veh) == 601then        
local tx, ty = getVehicleTurretPosition (veh)         
createProjectile(veh, 19, tx,ty,2)    endend

i already tryed that bit its olt wporking:/

the crosshair is not precise? idk but you could try to reduce the z position of its dxDrawImage

one more question: Why is the rx rotating in the wrong direction? it should be rotate up when the tanks turret barrel is rotating up. Its rotating to the opposite direction:/ the rz is working correctly! heres the code. Thanks in advance!

client.lua

function rotate_object(veh) 
local veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( localPlayer ) 
  
local _,_,rz = getVehicleComponentRotation(veh, "misc_a") 
local rx,_,_ = getVehicleComponentRotation(veh, "misc_b") 
  
triggerServerEvent("rotate_object", localPlayer, veh,rx,rz, localPlayer) 
end  

server.lua

  
function rotate_object(veh,rx,rz) 
  
local object = getElementData ( veh, "object" ) 
local object2 = getElementData ( veh, "object2" ) 
  
local weapon = getElementData ( veh, "weapon" ) 
  
setElementAttachedOffsets ( object, 0, 0, 0, 0, 7, rz+95) 
setElementAttachedOffsets ( object2, 0.9, -0.6, 3, 0, rx+0, 0) 
setElementAttachedOffsets ( weapon, 0.9, -0.6, 3, rx+7, 0, 0) 
end 
addEvent("rotate_object", true) 
addEventHandler("rotate_object", root, rotate_object)

rx= -1*rx

Problem solved

Yeah i already did that, thanks.
