Event on every pickup hit?

[laurens]

New question:

In a gamemode, like race, certain maps get played. I want to get a message in a difference resource (ie. "monitor") whenever a pickup gets hit. Is this possible?

I already tried this but it wouldn't respond when I hit a pickup:

function pickupHit ( player )
  outputChatBox ( "You have picked up a pickup.", player ) --Display this message in the chat box
end
addEventHandler ( "onPickupHit", getRootElement(), pickupHit )

Just to make things clear.

Let say you're playing the map Freeroam in the gamemode Race. There are a lot of pickups there. Now I have a difference resource running (which I call "monitor") and I want to get a notice whenever a pickup gets hit by a player. Is this actually possible?

Old question:

How do I get the element ID of the vehicle the player drives? Just a quick question.

Thanks! I was looking at vehicle/element/player-related functions

Bump for new question

Race pickups aren't "actual" pickups. Normal pickups can only be picked up on foot. Race uses its own system to get around that. Therefore, onPickupHit won't work.

For detecting race pickup pickups, use onPlayerPickUpRacePickup.
