I want to do a job with the Trashmaster and i need the rear position of the car. There should be a marker and u have to throw trash in the vehicle there. I cant find a function that i could use for that. I thought about getting the vehicle rotation and then calculate the position (where the trash should be thrown in). Maybe you guys could help me here with the calculation for that or smth like that. Thank you.

Hello Someone asks me, how to create a car at right side next to player. So i just wrote this little tutorial about. I hope you enjoy this little thing, which was did in two hours, and explained with a horrible english ;D Spend time: 2 hours testing the spawn of vehicles and coding + doc 3 hours making this tutorial with translation 0.5 hours thinking about, why i am doing this ... (i didn't found an answer -.-) First we have to know some things: How is the World working How is the Position working How is the Rotation working How can i spawn a car (Code snippet) How is the World working? => It is a north axis oriented map. If you open the full map ingame, top is north, bottom is south. It is every time a constant and will not change How is the Position working? => It is a Vector based information. It has three types. X => left - | + right Y => top - | + bottom Z => down - | + up The "+" and "-" are the operators here in our coordination system, which we have to use later. How is the Rotation working? => It is a Vector based information. Same here we have three types, but the number is always positive. So we can just use the Z variable. X => back | front (Not tested) Y => left | right (Not tested) Z => ground Then we will get four options: N => 0° E => 270° S => 180° W => 90° We have to use the radius to know how the player is rotated away from north. Just think about your shool days. back then you had geometry and raius was a topic of it. Ok, we got our information. Let us code that stuff Small version Doc version
