	This function is deprecated. This means that its use is discouraged and that it might not exist in future versions, but there should be a more generic way to perform what it does.

-- we create our handler function, where sourcePlayer is the player who sent the command,
-- and checkedPlayerName is the player name specified.
function outputIsInVehicle ( sourcePlayer, commandName, checkedPlayerName )
	-- we get the player element from the nick specified
	local checkedPlayer = getPlayerFromNick ( checkedPlayerName )
	-- if it exists,
	if ( checkedPlayer ) then
		-- if it's in a vehicle,
		if isPlayerInVehicle ( checkedPlayer ) then
			-- tell the source player
			outputChatBox ( checkedPlayerName .. " is in a vehicle.", sourcePlayer )
		-- if it's not in a vehicle,
		else
			-- tell the source player
			outputChatBox ( checkedPlayerName .. " is not in a vehicle.", sourcePlayer )
		end
	-- if it doesn't exist,
	else
		-- tell the source player
		outputChatBox ( "Invalid player name.", sourcePlayer )
	end
end
