Help w/ E2 parenting to a certain part of a player needed

[Ibram Gaunt]

Hello... This might be a bit stupid question, especially because I'm not a beginner when it comes to E2 but... how do I parent to the shootPos() of a player? Obviously since shootPos() returns a vector and not an entity, stuff can't be parented directly to it. Is there any entity, attachement, bone, whatever, at the exact same location that I can parent to? I don't want to use the runOnTick(1) setPos(Player:shootpos()) method, because that makes stuff lag behind when the player is moving. I guess that calculating in the player's speed and using setpos would also be a way to do it, but I'd rather solve the problem with parenting, if possible.

If it's a hologram you're parenting, you can do holoParentAttachment(n, e, "anim_attachment_head") after positioning it at the player's shootpos.

If it's a prop, just parent a hologram to the player's head and then parent the prop to the hologram.

I tried it, it sort of works, but it's far from perfect, I got the same result with parenting to the "forward" attachment earlier. Is there a better way?

Is it because it moves around with the head bone itself? If so, you could try positioning and parenting it to the player's weapon using E:weapon(), then adding Z offset so it's in line with their head. The downside of that is whatever you're using will become unparented if the player dies or loses their weapons.
