So, I'm trying to make it look as a player object is holding a box, and can carry the box, then drop it off at said location.

How can I position the second object?

Here is what I have and it does not work, the object just rotates around the player object.

You have refer the picked up object position and angle to the player object ( I guess it's object number 200)

to offset ahead you need to use :


if you want it offset also sideways:

x# = object position x(yourPlayerObjectNumber)
z# = object position z(yourPlayerObjectNumber)
a# = object angle y(yourPlayerObjectNumber)

Ok, so this is what I have so far, it works but the box is behind the player and not in front, the smaller I make the step value the closer it is to the player, at 0 it is in the player and at - the player walks back wards, lol.

We are close to fixing this
