This function sets the position of an element to the specified coordinates.

[[|link=|]] Warning: Do not use this function to spawn a player. It will cause problems with other functions like warpPedIntoVehicle. Use spawnPlayer instead.

Syntax

bool setElementPosition ( element theElement, float x, float y, float z [, bool warp = true ] )  

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Method: element:setPosition(...)
Variable: .position

  • x: The x coordinate of the destination.
