I'm needing to get world coordinates converted to a vehicle offset. Any ideas of doing so?

[fastman92]

It's easy
assuming that
0@ - world pos X
1@ - world pos Y
2@ - world pos Z

3@ - stored vehicle pos X
4@ - stored vehicle pos Y
5@ - stored vehicle pos Z
code:

CODE

0063: 0@ -= 3@ // (float)
0063: 1@ -= 4@ // (float)
0063: 2@ -= 5@ // (float)

Calculate the difference between vectors.

Result (vehicle offset X, Y, Z) are here in 0@, 1@, 2@

Tried that. But I'm using this to apply a particle to a vehicle. And when doing this, the particle doesn't turn with the vehicle like it should.

That's because the fade speed of the corona. You will have to use New Opcodes to do it correctly. Make it flash while fading.

04D5 works just the same as 024F but I believe it draws coronas in the current frame, so you dont get the fadeout problem.

I am using newopcodes. I'm getting coords from a matrix and needing to convert those coords to a vehicle offset to create it attached to a vehicle.

What are the codes for that?
