[solved] problem with getPedOccupiedVehicleSeat

[dzek (varez)]

-- checks if player is still driving this vehicle
local vehPlayer = getPedOccupiedVehicle(getLocalPlayer())
if (vehPlayer==veh) then
local seat = getPedOccupiedVehicleSeat(getLocalPlayer())
outputChatBox("xd")
end

after doing getPedOccupiedVehicleSeat, or getPlayerOccupiedVehicleSeat my function stops working (no outputChatBox, or other).. whats wrong?

I can't help to wonder: Is this script client-side, or server-side? As getLocalPlayer is client-side only, and getPedOccupiedVehicleSeat, is server-side only.

You can do:

getVehicleController(vehPlayer)

OR

getVehicleOccupant(vehPlayer,0)

I don't exactly get why there's a getVehicleController if getVehicleOccupant can be used to do the same, but oh well. Choose whichever you want, basically they'll do the same.

Trailers don't have drivers so getVehicleOccupant will fail when you want to get "driver of the trailer". Though, getVehicleController will return the driver who tows the trailer (sitting as driver in the truck towing that trailer). Wiki says it all.
