## Syntax

```lua
float, float, float|false getElementComponentPosition(vehicle|object element, string component [, string base = "root"])
```

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `element` | `vehicle\|object` | The vehicle or object. |
| `component` | `string` | The component's name, as `getElementComponents` lists it. |
| `base` | `string` | Relative to what: `"world"`, `"root"` (the element itself) or `"parent"` (the component's parent frame). Case does not matter. *(default: `"root"`)* |

## Returns

Three numbers `x, y, z`, or `false` if the component does not exist.

## Example

```lua
local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer)
if vehicle then
    local x, y, z = getElementComponentPosition(vehicle, "bonnet_dummy", "world")
    if x then
        outputDebugString(("Bonnet at %.1f, %.1f, %.1f"):format(x, y, z))
    end
end
```

### Coming from MTA

The same as MTA's `getVehicleComponentPosition`, but it also works on objects.
