Summary	0009500: attachElements doesn't work for camera in non-zero dimensions
Description	attachElements(getCamera(), someVehicle, x, y, z) returns "false" in any dimension except 0.
Steps To Reproduce	You can reproduce it using runcode: SERVERSIDE me=getPlayerFromName("your name") vehicle=getPedOccupiedVehicle(me) setElementDimension(me, 1) setElementDimension(vehicle, 1) CLIENTSIDE vehicle=getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer) success=attachElements(getCamera(), vehicle, 0, -10, 1) --> return false
Additional Information	attachElements is the only way to make properly-working custom cameras for vehicles. (setCameraMatrix and setElementMatrix will result in camera flickering). I personally need this to make cameras for the new vehicle physics I'm working on atm (cause standart camera behavior is bugged when I replace car physics).

StifflersMom 2016-12-20 23:13 updater ~~0025520	v1.5.3-release-10966 Executing client-side command: test=getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer) Command executed! Executing client-side command: attachElements(getCamera(),test,0,10,1) Command results: true [boolean] It works in dimension 0 as described by AfterAll14 If it works in dimension 0, it should work in every dimension :)

AfterAll14 2016-12-21 01:19 viewer ~~0025522	arranTuna, make sure you follow steps I described in "Steps to reproduce". You have to set dimensions server-side only, cause setting it client-side causes some bugs. I wasn't able to attach camera to localPlayer by doing it in correct order. As for you question - I just want to be able attach camera to vehicle (and any other element) in non-zero dimensions. Idk if this missing feature or a bug.
