Ty to varez i could make this

function findPlayerByName(playerPart) 
  local pl = getPlayerFromName(playerPart) 
  if isElement(pl) then 
    return pl 
  else 
    for i,v in ipairs (getElementsByType ("player")) do 
      if (string.find(getPlayerName(v),playerPart)) then 
        return v 
      end 
    end 
  end 
end 
  
function boomPlayer(playerSource, command, arg1, theVehicle) 
    local playerElement = findPlayerByName(arg1) 
    if playerElement then 
      local name = getPlayerName(playerElement) 
      local theVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle (playerSource) 
      local sourceName = getPlayerName(playerSource) 
      blowVehicle ( theVehicle ) 
      outputChatBox (""..getPlayerName(playerElement).."Has been destroyed by "..getPlayerName(playerSource).."!", getRootElement(), 0, 0, 5, true) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("boom", boomPlayer) 
  

but its not working at all, and no errors

hmm, you have theVehicle argument in your boomPlayer and trying to overwrite it on line 18 - i dont know what happens in that situation.

also for outputChatBox just use:

outputChatBox (getPlayerName(playerElement).."Has been destroyed by "..getPlayerName(playerSource).."!", getRootElement(), 0, 0, 5, true) 

no need for that ""..

i dont really see what im overwriting but its still not working, i read what you say and no errors nothing ;S

and its not outputting it to the chatbox

function findPlayerByName(playerPart) 
  local pl = getPlayerFromName(playerPart) 
  if isElement(pl) then 
    return pl 
  else 
    for i,v in ipairs (getElementsByType ("player")) do 
      if (string.find(getPlayerName(v),playerPart)) then 
        return v 
      end 
    end 
  end 
end 
  
function boomPlayer(playerSource, command, arg1, theVehicle) 
    local playerElement = findPlayerByName(arg1) 
    if playerElement then 
      local name = getPlayerName(playerElement) 
      local theVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle (playerSource) 
      local sourceName = getPlayerName(playerElement) 
      blowVehicle ( theVehicle ) 
      outputChatBox (getPlayerName(playerElement).." Has been destroyed by "..getPlayerName(playerSource).."!", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 0, true) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("boom", boomPlayer)

function boomPlayer(playerSource, command, arg1, [b]theVehicle[/b]) 
    local playerElement = findPlayerByName(arg1) 
    if playerElement then 
      local name = getPlayerName(playerElement) 
      local [b]theVehicle[/b] = getPedOccupiedVehicle (playerSource) 
      local sourceName = getPlayerName(playerElement) 
      blowVehicle ( theVehicle ) 
      outputChatBox (getPlayerName(playerElement).." Has been destroyed by "..getPlayerName(playerSource).."!", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 0, true) 
    end 
end 

just remove that argument on line 14 in your script
