SOLVED - Teleporting prop ahead of vehicle

I'm experimenting with some cannibalized code from this thread.

Everything seems to be working as I'd like and a prop is teleporting at the front end of the vehicle I'm driving when I enter a lua trigger. The only thing I'd like to modify is to have the prop to appear a small distance ahead of the vehicle. I suck at lua (and math) and I can't seem to figure out how to modify the code. Particularly, I'm not entirely sure what the "getDirectionVector" values are pointing to.

Here's the code so far:

Code:

local function teleportProp(data)

    local player = be:getObjectByID(data.subjectID)
    local prop =  be:getObjectByID(00000)
    local position = vec3(player:getPosition())
    local forward = vec3(player:getDirectionVector()):normalized()

    position.z = position.z + 3

    local coordinate = forward * 2 + position

    if data.event == 'enter' then
        prop:setPosition(coordinate)
    end

end

return teleportProp

 

Solved this myself. For anyone wondering you just change the multiplier in this line:

Code:

local coordinate = forward * 2 + position

For some reason, when using this with a lua trigger was giving me wacky results, so I dismissed that as an option.
