setPos formula needed

[celery 8]

Can anyone supply me with a formula to setpos object1 two meters to the right of object2's position regardless of object2's azimuth? I'm having trouble finding out how to "anchor" the setpos coordinates to an object's vector.

i think you need modeltoworld

relpos = [0,2,0]

worldpos = object1 modeltoworld relpos

object2 setpos worldpos

object2 setdir getdir object1

not sure on [0,2,0] could be -2

have a mess with it

Thanks, you are precious!

no problem with azimuts ...

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

_dst=2;

_pos=getpos obj1;

_dir=(getdir obj1)-90;

_dpos=[(_pos select 0)+(sin _dir)*_dst,(_pos select 1)+(cos _dir)*_dst,0];

should work, but not tested...

sry to correct you but the right side should be [2,0,0]

Remember [+EAST/-WEST , +NORTH/-SOUTH , +UP/-DOWN] :P

thanks for correcting

Easiest way to remember that for me goes like this:

The origin ([0,0,0]) is sea level on the bottom left corner of the map. X is almost always left, right on a cartesian plane.

That may or may not help you.
