GetVehicleModelDummyPosition

This function gets position of the dummies contained in a vehicle model.

Syntax

bool getVehicleModelDummyPosition ( int modelID, vehicle-dummy dummy )

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Method: Vehicle.getVehicleModelDummyPosition(...)

Counterpart: setVehicleModelDummyPosition

Required Arguments

modelID: The model ID which you want to apply the change to
dummy: The dummy whose position you want to get

Allowed dummies

light_front_main: Primary front lights position.
light_rear_main: Primary rear lights position.
light_front_second: Secondary front lights position.
light_rear_second: Secondary rear lights position.
seat_front: Front seat position.
seat_rear: Rear seat position.
exhaust: Exhaust fumes start position.
engine: Engine smoke start position.
gas_cap: Vehicle gas cap position (shooting it will explode vehicle)
trailer_attach: Point at which trailers will be attached to vehicle.
hand_rest: (?)Hand rest position.
exhaust_second: Secondary exhaust position (for example in NRG-500)
wing_airtrail: Point from which air trail will show in airplanes, visible while in sharp turns.
veh_gun: Vehicle gun position (ex. Rustler)

Returns

Returns the position of given dummy if everything went fine, false otherwise.

Example

Given example will draw rectangle over every dummy in vehicle player is currently sitting it.
