Im getting bad argument errors on lines 51-60

can anyone help.. i don't understand whats wrong..

and in case you need to know its a server side script

[Remp]

the variable theVehicle doesnt exist in setDataOnStart, use value (when you loop through a table using ipairs the second variable you define [value] will be the element from the table [in this case the vehicle element] and the first [key] will be the index)

function setDataOnStart ( ) 
    for key, value in ipairs(getElementsByType("vehicle")) do 
    local blockState = getElementData ( value, "engine.block" ) 
    if ( blockState ) == false or ( blockState ) == nil then 
        setElementData ( value, "engine.block", 100 ) 
    end 
    local battState = getElementData ( value, "engine.battery" )
