This example destroys a haystack when a player targets it. It only works with elements created by MTA.

addEventHandler ("onPlayerTarget", root, 
    function(targetElem)
        if (isElement(targetElem)) and (getElementType(targetElem)=="object") and (getElementModel(targetElem)==3374) then
            destroyElement (targetElem)
        end
    end
)

    if id == 519 or id == 577 then -- if theVehicle is either Shamal or AT-400
        local vehicleName = getVehicleName ( theVehicle ) -- get the name of theVehicle
        outputChatBox ( "Someone stole a " .. vehicleName .. "!" ) -- announce that someone stole the plane
