This function returns a table of the current vehicle handling data.

Syntax

mixed getVehicleHandling ( element theVehicle, [ string property ] )

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Method: vehicle:getHandling(...)
Variable: .handling


Required Arguments

  • theVehicle: the vehicle you wish to get the handling data of.

Optional Arguments

NOTE: When using optional arguments, you might need to supply all arguments before the one you wish to use. For more information on optional arguments, see optional arguments.

ADDED/UPDATED IN VERSION 1.6.0 r22649:
  • property the property you want to get.

Returns

Returns a table containing all the handling data, false otherwise. If a property is specified, it returns the value of the specific property. Here's a list of valid table properties and what they return:

Server & Client

This example creates a new function called getVehicleHandlingProperty, which simulates the previous syntax of this function. 

function getVehicleHandlingProperty ( element, property )
    if isElement ( element ) and getElementType ( element ) == "vehicle" and type ( property ) == "string" then -- Make sure there's a valid vehicle and a property string
        local handlingTable = getVehicleHandling ( element ) -- Get the handling as table and save as handlingTable
        local value = handlingTable[property] -- Get the value from the table
        
        if value then -- If there's a value (valid property)
            return value -- Return it
        end
    end
    
    return false -- Not an element, not a vehicle or no valid property string. Return failure
end
