__NOTOC__
This function provides a hacky way to recreate the client-side behavior of [[isPedInVehicle]] server-sided for [[player]] elements ONLY. It checks if a specified [[player]] is actually in a [[vehicle]] and not just in the process of entering.

==Syntax==
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">bool isPlayerActuallyInVehicle ( player thePlayer )</syntaxhighlight>

===Required Arguments===
* '''thePlayer''': a [[player]] to check if they are inside a [[vehicle]] or not.

===Returns===
Returns ''true'' if the specified [[player]] has fully completed entering a [[vehicle]] and hasn't fully completed exiting it yet, ''false'' otherwise.

==Code==
<section name="Function source" class="server" show="true">
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
function isPlayerActuallyInVehicle(player)
assert(isElement(player) and (getElementType(player) == "player"), "Bad argument @ isPlayerActuallyInVehicle [player expected, got " .. type(player) .. " '" .. tostring(player) .. "']")
local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(player)
if vehicle then
local x,y = getElementPosition(player)
local vx,vy = getElementPosition(vehicle)
if x == vx and y == vy then
return true
end
end
return false
end
</syntaxhighlight>
</section>

==Example==
<section name="Server" class="server" show="true">
This example will output a chat message anywhere within 50ms of a player changing their in-vehicle-state according to [[isPlayerActuallyInVehicle]].
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
local allPlayers = {}
function resStart()
for i,v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do
allPlayers[v] = isPlayerActuallyInVehicle(v)
end
setTimer(checkInterval,50,0)
end
addEventHandler("onResourceStart",getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()),resStart)

function addPlayer()
allPlayers[source] = isPlayerActuallyInVehicle(source)
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin",getRootElement(),addPlayer)

function checkInterval()
for k,v in pairs(allPlayers) do
local result = isPlayerActuallyInVehicle(k)
if not v == result then
outputChatBox(getPlayerName(k).." changed their in vehicle state to "..tostring(result))
allPlayers[k] = result
end
end
end
