The getElementPosition function allows you to retrieve the position coordinates of an element. This can be any real world element, including:
Syntax
float, float, float getElementPosition ( element theElement )
OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!
- Method: element:getPosition(...)
- Variable: .position
- Counterpart: setElementPosition
Required Arguments
- theElement: The element which you'd like to retrieve the location of
Returns
Returns three floats indicating the position of the element, x, y and z respectively.
Example
This example attaches a samsite on the player's vehicle.
-- Create the elegy local myElegy = createVehicle(562, 1591.596680, -2495.323242, 18.098244) -- Get the vehicle's position local x, y, z = getElementPosition(myElegy) -- Create the samsite local samsite = createObject(3267, x, y, z + 3) -- Attach the samsite to the elegy attachElementToElement(samsite, myElegy, 0, 0, 0)
