Client

This example checks if a random player is ducked or not, and if so displays a message in the chat box. 

local players = getElementsByType ( "player" )
local randomPlayer = players[math.random(#players)]
if isPedDucked ( randomPlayer ) then
	outputChatBox ( getPlayerName ( randomPlayer ) .. " is currently crouching." )
end

This example creates a function that lets you toggle the crouching state of a ped. 

function setPedDucked(ped, bool)
	local alreadyDucked = isPedDucked(ped)
	if (alreadyDucked and not bool) then
		if (ped == localPlayer) then
			setControlState("crouch", true)
			setTimer(setControlState, 50, 1, "crouch", false)
		else
			setPedControlState(ped, "crouch", true)
			setTimer(setPedControlState, 50, 1, ped, "crouch", false)
		end
		return true
	elseif (not alreadyDucked and bool) then
		if (ped == localPlayer) then
			setControlState("crouch", true)
			setTimer(setControlState, 50, 1, "crouch", false)
		else
			setPedControlState(ped, "crouch", true)
			setTimer(setPedControlState, 50, 1, ped, "crouch", false)
		end
		return true
	end
	return false
end
