==Syntax==
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> bool isElementMoving ( element theElement ) </syntaxhighlight>

===Returns===
Returns true if the element is moving, false otherwise.

===Code===
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
function isElementMoving (theElement )
if isElement ( theElement ) then -- First check if the given argument is an element
return Vector3( getElementVelocity( theElement ) ).length ~= 0
end
return false
end
</syntaxhighlight>

===Example===
<section name="Client" class="client" show="true">
This script tells the moving state to the client on the bottom left of their screen.
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize () -- Get the screen resolution (width and height)

function idleCheck ()
-- Write our state string to the lower left corner of the screen
-- What I've used here is called 'control flow'(and, or). Its just a simplified If statement, but its marginally faster.
dxDrawText ( "You are " .. (isElementMoving(getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer) or localPlayer) and "moving") or ("idling").. "!", 40, screenHeight - 40, screenWidth, screenHeight, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), 1, "default" )
end

-- Keep the text visible with onClientRender.
