Example 1: This example defines a command handler for the command fireelement. This will fire up a player or their vehicle if the state is true. Otherwise the fire will be gone. 

local stringToBoolean = {
    ["true"] = true,
    ["false"] = false
}

addCommandHandler("fireelement",
    function(sourcePlayer, commandName, fireState)
        -- if the player didn't complete the command.
        if not (fireState) then
            local text = string.format("[Usage]: #FFFFFF/%s [%s]", commandName, "State")

            return outputChatBox(text, sourcePlayer, 255, 100, 100, true)
        end

        -- the state will automatically be a string so we change it to boolean.
        local fireState = stringToBoolean[fireState]

        -- if the state isn't boolean then we return it.
        if type(fireState) ~= "boolean" then
            return outputChatBox("[Error]: #FFFFFFThe state has to be true or false.", sourcePlayer, 255, 100, 100, true)
        end

        local playerVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(sourcePlayer)

        if playerVehicle then -- if the player is in a vehicle
            setElementOnFire(playerVehicle, fireState)
        else -- if the player is not in a vehicle
            setElementOnFire(sourcePlayer, fireState)
        end
    end, false, false
)
