AddLinkPoint() going to the wrong place

I noticed that missiles weren't spawning from the correct position so I started digging into my code looking for the error and what I found puzzles me. (Including some debugging lines) the following is what I use to add the link point (and create the missile launcher). The %launchOffset is used to make the missile appear in front of the launcher instead of on top and the %location is an integer representing the vehicle side.

echo("*** Adding missile launcher");
    if (%location == 1) {
      %launchOffset = "0 -0.95";
      }
    else if (%location == 2) {
      %launchOffset = "0 0.95";
      }
    else if (%location == 3) {
      %launchOffset = "-0.95 0";
      }
    else if (%location == 4) {
      %launchOffset = "0.95 0";
      }
    else {
      %launchOffset = "0 0";
      echo("Unknown facing" SPC %location);
      }
    echo("Launch offset: " @ %launchOffset);
    echo("Launch position: " @ vectorAdd2D(%offset,%launchOffset));
    %this.weaponObject[%this.numberWeapons].weaponLinkPoint = %this.addLinkPoint(vectorAdd2D(%offset,%launchOffset));
    echo("Link point: " @ %this.getLinkPoint(%this.numberWeapons));
    %this.weaponObject[%this.numberWeapons] = missilelauncherObject::create("", %this, %weaponName, %location, %offset);

This produces the following in the console.log (%location is 1 in this case for the front of the vehicle):

Quote:
*** Adding missile launcher
Launch offset: 0 -0.95
Launch position: -0.200000 -1.550000
Link point: -1.500000 5.250000

The vehicle in question should be at 0,0 at this point. When the game is finished loading the vehicle is at 22.5,0 and if I do

==>$tlp = $player.addLinkPoint("-0.2 -1.55");
==>echo($player.getLinkPoint(1));

I get

Quote:
-23.250000 -11.625000

Which should be the correct offset. Any ideas as to why the first one is offset down instead of up?
