Syntax

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Method: vehicle:getName(...)
Variable: .name


Required Arguments

  • theVehicle: the vehicle you want to get the name of.

This example checks whether a player enters an AT-400 or a Shamal. If they do, it announces it to the chat specifying what vehicle was stolen. 

function planeEnter ( theVehicle, seat, jacked ) -- when someone enters a vehicle
    local id = getElementModel ( theVehicle ) -- get the model ID of the vehicle
    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 has stolen a " .. vehicleName .. "!" ) -- announce that someone has stolen the plane
