Bad argument @ "getPedOccupiedVehicle"

[NovaCrew]

So I have an error that says Bad argument @ "getPedOccupiedVehicle" [Expected ped at argument 1, got nil] and I have no idea how to fix it. If someone could help me I would really appreciate it.

local speed = 20
local buoyancy = 1.5
local drag = 1

function swimVehicle (vehicle, seat, jacked)
	local id = getPedOccupiedVehicle (vehicle)
	if id == 407 then
	  local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( vehicle ) 
      local level = getWaterLevel ( x, y, z )
	  if id == 407 and level and z < level then
		setElementData(vehicle, "buoyancy", 1.5)
		setElementData(vehicle, "vehicleDrag", 1)
		setElementData(vehicle, "centerOfMass", {0,0,-1})
		setVehicleHandling(vehicle, "engineAcceleration", 20)
        else
		setElementData(vehicle, "buoyancy", 0)
		setElementData(vehicle, "vehicleDrag", 0)
		setVehicleHandling(vehicle, "engineAcceleration", 0)
	    end  
	end	
end

 addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, swimVehicle)

getPedOccupiedVehicle() should be receiving LocalPlayer, and i will return the Element Vehicle. Then you can use GetElementID() to compare here.

Something like this i believe: 

local id = getElementID(getPedOccupiedVehicle(LocalPlayer))
if id == '407' then
  --YOUR CODE

 

 

If you have a doubt, just ask or if it helped, you can leave a thanks

hello there is error in your comment, I recommend you to use getElementModel instead of getElementID

Wow, indeed. I don't know why i did that way, Thank you

So the verification must compared to an int value

local id = getElementModel(getPedOccupiedVehicle(LocalPlayer))
if id == 407 then
  --YOUR CODE

yes, you can be more careful in such matters, recheck the information about what you did well before saying anything.

I always say, it may be better to test and submit the correct codes, because the codes we publish may contain erroneous or incomplete typos.

When I will share code samples in the forum community I will try the codes on my own test server and share the codes properly to MTA players, thank you for your help, have a nice day

And I can express my special thanks for helping the player.
