This function turns a vehicle's engine on or off. Note that the engine will always be turned on when someone enters the driver seat, unless you override that behaviour with scripts.

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Serverside example

This example will turn off a vehicle's engine when the driver gets out of the car. 

function turnEngineOff ( theVehicle, leftSeat, jackerPlayer )
    -- if it's the driver who got out, and he was not jacked,
    if leftSeat == 0 and not jackerPlayer then
        -- turn off the engine
        setVehicleEngineState ( theVehicle, false )
    end
end
-- add 'turnEngineOff' as a handler for "onPlayerExitVehicle"
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerVehicleExit", getRootElement ( ), turnEngineOff )
