Hello,my name is Galea.

I would like to know how to spawn a car 5 units in front of the player,no matter the player rotZ

To be more clear i want to get the player rotZ and to spawn a car 5 units in front of him

I know how to make the script , i just need the math formula to calculate the vehicle position

Use getPositionFromElementOffset in this example https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GetElementMatrix

function getPositionFromElementOffset(element,offX,offY,offZ) 
    local m = getElementMatrix ( element )  -- Get the matrix 
    local x = offX * m[1][1] + offY * m[2][1] + offZ * m[3][1] + m[4][1]  -- Apply transform 
    local y = offX * m[1][2] + offY * m[2][2] + offZ * m[3][2] + m[4][2] 
    local z = offX * m[1][3] + offY * m[2][3] + offZ * m[3][3] + m[4][3] 
    return x, y, z                               -- Return the transformed point 
end
