Server

This example matches the model of the element to the player, when an element receives a new syncer.

function elementStartSync( newSyncer )
    local strElementType = getElementType( source )
    local playerVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle( newSyncer )
    if ( strElementType == 'vehicle' ) then
        if ( not playerVehicle ) then return false end
        
        setElementModel( source, getElementModel(playerVehicle) )
    elseif ( strElementType == 'ped' ) then
        setElementModel( source, getElementModel(newSyncer) )
    end
end
addEventHandler ('onElementStartSync', root, elementStartSync)

This example will prevent vehicles from entering an area covered by a colshape, by automatically destroying them upon enter.

local myColShape = createColCuboid(1000, -800, 900, 1000, 1000, 1000)


function checkSyncOfVehicles()
	if isElement(source) and getElementType (source) == "vehicle" and isElementWithinColShape(source, myColShape) then
		destroyElement (source)
	end
end
addEventHandler ("onElementStartSync", root, checkSyncOfVehicles)
