How to find a car?

[fairyoggy]

As far as I understand, my function cannot find a car when i go out of it. How do I find him?

function removeHelmetOnExit ( vehicle, seat, jacked )
local myCar = getPedOccupiedVehicle(source)
local engine = getVehicleEngineState (myCar)
if engine then
setElementData(myCar,"engine",1)
elseif not engine then
setElementData(myCar,"engine",0)
end
end
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerVehicleExit", getRootElement(), removeHelmetOnExit )

1. local myCar = getPedOccupiedVehicle(source)

Source of this event is the player that left vehicle not the vehicle itself, also you can directly use the vehicle argument of your function

 

function removeHelmetOnExit ( vehicle, seat, jacked )
local engine = getVehicleEngineState (vehicle)
if engine then
setElementData(vehicle,"engine",1)
elseif not engine then
setElementData(vehicle,"engine",0)
end
end
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerVehicleExit", getRootElement(), removeHelmetOnExit )
