getVehicleEngineState error

[manuelhimmler]

Why I get an "attempt to call global 'getVehicleEngineState' (a nil value)" - error, when I use this script. I press m to start my engine but I only get an error:

function engine(theplayer,key,keystate,car) 
  
if getVehicleController(car)==theplayer then 
  
    setVehicleEngineState(car, not getVehicleEngineState(car)) 
     
end 
  
end 
  
function keybindson(theplayer) 
  
bindKey(theplayer,"l","down",lights,source) 
setVehicleOverrideLights(source,1) 
outputChatBox("Drücke L um das Licht einzuschalten!",playerid) 
  
bindKey(theplayer,"m","down",engine,source) 
setVehicleEngineState(source,false) 
outputChatBox("Drücke M um den Motor zu starten!",playerid) 
  
  
end 
  
addEventHandler("onVehicleEnter",getRootElement(),keybindson)

Apparently the function doesn't exist. Check for typos. Which version are you using? DP2.*? Nightly?

Thanks buffalo, but I've forgotten to search. I don't know why I can't use this function, it is on wiki.multitheftauto.com listed. Can anybody tell me what this "DP" means and where I can get a newer. I think I have 2.3 or 2.5, I don't know it yet.

DP mean Developer Preview, so it's not a full version yet, but just to show people what's coming.

Your version is probably 2.3, since 2.5 doesn't exist. This function is probably on the wiki because it'll be added in 1.0. Weird thing is that the function lists don't mention that...
