getPedBonePositionReturns the world position of a chosen skeleton bone of a ped, such as the head or a hand. On the client the position is exact and follows the animation (the bone is read from the game). The server does not know the ped's pose, so it returns an approximation: a fixed bone offset of a standing ped, rotated to match its heading. Bone numbers are the ones from getBoneIDs (e.g. 8 head, 25 right hand, 35 left hand); on the client a game bone index also works.
