About createcol's rotation

[Dretax]

CreateCol's return is obviously a col object, and It's rotation can't be set.

I'm trying to align the collosion with the attach, but there might be another options with it?

Interesting.

I wanted to create a code that could open a vehicle door in a fast and logical way, however createcol is not detecting the vehicle? (Client)

function DoorOpener(button, press)
    if not press and button == "mouse2" then
        local px, py, pz = getElementPosition(getLocalPlayer())
		local shape = createColCircle ( px, py, 6)
        outputChatBox("Length " .. #getElementsWithinColShape(shape, "vehicle")) -- Gives 0 back

		for _,v in ipairs(getElementsWithinColShape(shape, "vehicle")) do
			outputChatBox("Car found")
			local getComponent = getVehicleComponents(v)
            for k in pairs (getComponent) do
				local x, y, z = getVehicleComponentPosition(v, k, "world")
                local dist = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D (x, y, z, px, py, pz)
	            outputChatBox("Dist: " .. dist)
	            if dist < 1.5 then
					setVehicleDoorOpenRatio (v, k, 1 - getVehicleDoorOpenRatio(v, k), 0)
	            end
            end
        end
    end
end
addEventHandler("onClientKey", getRootElement(), DoorOpener)

Col is definetely within the vehicle, tested with showcol.

The centre of the vehicle should be inside the col, otherwise it shouldn't be triggered.

Also you have to take in consideration, that when you use colshapes it can fail to detect elements when they are already inside. This is a big problem serverside, yet for clientside it should be fine.

 

If you can't get it to work use getElementsByType with streamedin argument ON + getDistanceBetweenPoints3D, to solve the issue.

Creating cols at say 0,0,-3 relative to your vehicle's position and moving them into position with moveElement won't help with the element hit problems?

None of them is the case. As I said, the col is within the vehicle. It just doesn't get detected. Lemme get a screenshot for you.

 

 

 

6m col, definetely within range.

outputChatBox("Length " .. #getElementsWithinColShape(shape, "vehicle")) -- Gives 0 back

Client side.

 

But fine, I will do the streamin thing you suggested, but that might be using a little more.

The moving won't help, since I directly have to check if the vehicle is there or not.

Submitted a bug report.
