The getElementPosition function allows you to retrieve the position coordinates of an element. This can be any real world element, including:

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

This example attaches a samsite on the player's vehicle. 

-- create the elegy;
myElegy = createVehicle ( 562, 1591.596680, -2495.323242, 18.098244 ) 
-- get the vehicle's position;
local x,y,z = getElementPosition( myElegy )
-- create the samsite;
samsite = createObject ( 3267, x, y, z + 3 )
