When the vehicle stops touching any objects

[HunT]

Hi guys.  After a loooooong time I decided to do a rework on one of my map but I need a particular script. 

I have so forgotten anything related to scripting after 10 years and I don't know if there is any event or function related to this yet.

I need help creating a script when a certain vehicle stops touching an object after 5 seconds I have the ability to start a function. Such as destroying the vehicle after 5 seconds if it does not touch an object with its wheels.

If anyone helps me I will add credits for the script when I release the map.

Thanks for the support

A thousand thanks. I will try this script

I have not tested it, so please get back to me if there is anything missing or needs to be edited and I will help you

there are no such events as

onElementCollide

onElementLeaveCollide

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Client_Scripting_Events#Element_events

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Server_Scripting_Events#Element_events

I think the best thing you could do for this case is either a distance check, or creating collision shapes alongside the objects you need the check against. You maybe could achieve more precise results with a distance check logic, since you could get the position of a vehicle dummy or ped bone and many more, but you'd need to do it in a render event, or an event that is not as heavy as a render, but still constantly called, like onClientPedsProcessed.

The truth, I had abandoned this project and did not have the opportunity to try your script. 

 

But today out of curiosity I asked chatGPT to write me the script and this is the result 

 

local vehicleTimers = {} -- Memorizza i timer dei veicoli

-- Funzione per controllare se il veicolo è in aria
function checkVehicleAir(vehicle)
    if not isElement(vehicle) then return end
    if isVehicleOnGround(vehicle) then
        resetExplosionTimer(vehicle)
    else
        startExplosionTimer(vehicle)
    end
end

-- Avvia il timer di esplosione
function startExplosionTimer(vehicle)
    if vehicleTimers[vehicle] then return end -- Evita più timer sullo stesso veicolo
    
    vehicleTimers[vehicle] = setTimer(function()
        if isElement(vehicle) and not isVehicleOnGround(vehicle) then
            blowVehicle(vehicle) --  Esplode il veicolo!
            vehicleTimers[vehicle] = nil
        end
    end, 5000, 1) -- 5 secondi di tempo
end

-- Resetta il timer se il veicolo tocca il suolo
function resetExplosionTimer(vehicle)
    if vehicleTimers[vehicle] then
        killTimer(vehicleTimers[vehicle]) -- Ferma il timer
        vehicleTimers[vehicle] = nil
    end
end

-- Controlla lo stato dei veicoli in un loop
function monitorVehicles()
    for _, vehicle in ipairs(getElementsByType("vehicle")) do
        if getVehicleController(vehicle) then -- Controlla solo i veicoli con giocatori dentro
            checkVehicleAir(vehicle)
        end
    end
end
setTimer(monitorVehicles, 1000, 0) -- Controlla ogni secondo

-- Quando un veicolo esplode, rimuove il timer associato
addEventHandler("onVehicleExplode", root, function()
    vehicleTimers[source] = nil
end)

chatGPT can write all kinds of functions, it's amazing
