I bet you want to create a command:

function createVehicleForPlayer(playerSource, command, vehicleModel)
local playerName = getPlayerName ( playerSource )
-- Does he have access to Admin functions?
if isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. playerName, aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) ) then
local x,y,z = getElementPosition(playerSource) 
	y = y - 5 
local createdVehicle = createVehicle(tonumber(vehicleModel),x,y,z)
if (createdVehicle == false) then
outputChatBox("Failed to create vehicle.", playerSource)
else
outputChatBox( getVehicleNameFromModel(vehicleModel).. " has been created for you!", playerSource)
end
else
outputChatBox("Du bist nicht berechtigt!", playerSource)
end
end
addCommandHandler ( "spawnveh", createVehicleForPlayer )

Just use a command /spawnveh 451 , this will spawn Turismo near you, for example.

I have a question about this script, when i am not a admin but join in the server with the admin name without login can i use the command spawnveh too?

Or must i do a login check after i ckeck the playername?

It work's for the non-admin player's with admin names, so yes you doesn't have to be admin.

You can use HasObjectPermissionTo instead of using isObjectInACLGroup

yes it should be a command

the preoblem is another

there is an error with the line getplayername

see my first post

this is only example

everytime when i usw getplayername then there is an error

getPlayerName is a 1.0 function, in dp2.3 you have to use getClientName.
