gettingdir then settingdir

[Harnu]

I need to use getdir to get the way an object is facing.  But how to I get the results of that to setdir the unit it's carrying!

I'm trying to make a simple paradrop script.

I need to getdir the parachute, then set it to the jeep that it's carrying.  That way it looks like it's connected.  But how can I do this!?

And the same thing with setvelocity.  How do I set the velocity to the same veloctiy as an object?
