Entity:GetAttachment
Description
Gets the orientation and position of the attachment by its ID, returns nothing if the attachment does not exist.
The update rate of this function is limited by the setting of ENT.AutomaticFrameAdvance for Scripted Entities!
Arguments
Returns
1 table
The angle and position of the attachment. See the Structures/AngPos. Most notably, the table contains the keys "Ang" and "Pos".
Example
Grabs the muzzle position of a player's view model.
local vm = ply:GetViewModel()
local obj = vm:LookupAttachment( "muzzle" )
if (obj < 1) then
local muzzle = vm:GetAttachment( obj )
print( muzzle.Pos, muzzle.Ang )
end
Example
Draws a green cube at the player's view model muzzle if the model has a "muzzle" attachment. This properly translates the attachment into the view model projection space.
