Getting location to spawn NPC

What would be the position to spawn a NPC behind a player? e.g = posistion above and behind a players head?

 

p.getLocation

Oh sorry, p.getLocation spawn same position as the player

No i mean like, what would the actual numbers of the posistion be.. eg. 3, 0, 3 that spawns it to the right of it

 

If I was you i'd test them out, I believe 1, 0, 1 is in front of the player, -1, 0, 1) is on the left of the player, 1, 0, -1 is the right of the player, and -1, 0, -1 is the back of the player, assuming that you're getting the player's location.

 

Ok so -1, 0, -1 is what im looking for but now what would i change it to to make it spawn like this:

Actually, ignore what I just said, I edited it out, hopefully I can understand you on this, but just change the parameters (-1, 0, -1) to your likings, probably something like (-1, 0, -5)

If you want to make it above the player, you'll have to get the player's location, and change the Y (as you can see it's currently 0) to something else, something to like 2.

 

So what your saying is that I should do.. -1, 2, -5 for it to be above and behind the player?

 

Probably -5 would be a little too far behind, but if that's what you're shooting for then it should be.
