theElement: The element you wish to set the collisions of
enabled: A boolean to indicate whether collisions are enabled (true) or disabled (false)

Returns

Returns true if the collisions were set succesfully, false otherwise.

This example enables collisions for all vehicles within a certain radius of a player:

function enableVehicleCollisionsNearPlayer(player, maxDistance)
	local playerX, playerY, playerZ = getElementPosition(player)
	local vehicles = getElementsByType("vehicle")
	for k,v in ipairs(vehicles) do
		local vehicleX, vehicleY, vehicleZ = getElementPosition(v)
		-- get the distance between the player and the vehicle:
		local distance = math.sqrt((vehicleX - playerX)^2 + (vehicleY - playerY)^2 + (vehicleZ - playerZ)^2)
		if (distance <= maxDistance) then
			-- enable collisions for the vehicle
			setElementCollisionsEnabled(v, true)
		end
	end
end
