[C#] Placing a Marker in front of your character? (Solved)

[EnforcerZhukov]

I'm trying to spawn a Marker in front of the player, but I can't figure out how to deal with the Heading.
This is the marker I was able to spawn:

I have the following code to spawn it:

        Ped player = Game.Player.Character;
        posicion = player.Position;
        posicion.X = posicion.X + 1.5f;
        posicion.Y = posicion.Y + 1.5f;            
        posicion.Z = posicion.Z - player.HeightAboveGround;
        direccion = new GTA.Math.Vector3(f0, f0, f0);
        rotacion = new GTA.Math.Vector3(f0, f0, f0);
        escala = new GTA.Math.Vector3(f1, f1, f1);
        GTA.World.DrawMarker(MarkerType.VerticalCylinder, posicion, direccion, rotacion, escala, Color.Green);

AFAIK it has something to do with the player heading or the forward, so the marker turns around automatically and always being in front of the player.

Thanks in advance!

@EnforcerZhukov You can use Game.Player.Character.GetOffsetInWorldCoords(new Vector3(X, Y, Z)) where Y is how far in front/behind you want the marker to appear.

Those numbers are basically X (Left and Right), Y (Front and Back) and Z (Up and Down)

So for example:

Game.Player.Character.GetOffsetInWorldCoords(new Vector3(0f, 10f, 5f))

Would get a position 10 forward of the player and 5 up.

Thanks m8, it works perfectly now!

This is the final code I used, just in case somebody comes here having the same question:

        Ped player = Game.Player.Character;
        posicion = player.GetOffsetInWorldCoords(new GTA.Math.Vector3(0f, 3f, 0f));
        posicion.Z = player.Position.Z - player.HeightAboveGround;
        direccion = new GTA.Math.Vector3(0f, 0f, 0f);
        rotacion = new GTA.Math.Vector3(0f, 0f, 0f);
        escala = new GTA.Math.Vector3(1f, 1f, 1f);
        GTA.World.DrawMarker(MarkerType.VerticalCylinder, posicion, direccion, rotacion, escala, Color.Green);
