How do I check if a vehicle is an emergency vehicle.

[benwilkins]

I have an emergency lights for the front headlights, but at the moment, it can be activated in any vehicle.

[Castillo]

1. Make a table with the ID's you want only.

2. When going to activate the lights, check if the vehicle id it's on that table.

3. You are done, and should work fine.

Example:

allowedIDS = {520 = true, 438 = true}

and so on.

then to check just do:

model = getElementModel(your element) then 
if allowedIDS[model] then

Care to take a qucik look?

Didnt actually make the script, my friend did it, but hes been away for a good few weeks. I have also tried, checking if the vehicle has sirens, and if so then allow the script to work.

Heres the script

function setBinds() 
end 
function setBindsTwo() 
    local players = getElementsByType("player") 
    for k, v in ipairs(players) do 
        bindKey(v, "p", "down", delayedEMToggle) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), setBinds) 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), setBindsTwo) 
  
function toggleVehicleLights(ply, key, state) 
    local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(ply) 
    if vehicle then 
        if getVehicleOverrideLights(vehicle) ~= 2 then 
            setVehicleOverrideLights(vehicle, 2) 
        else 
            setVehicleOverrideLights(vehicle, 1) 
        end 
    end 
end 
function delayedEMToggle(ply, key, state)  
setTimer(toggleEmergencyLights, 200, 1, ply, key, state)  
end  
local colorTimers = {}

local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(ply)  
if not vehicle then  
return  
end  
if  colorTimers[tostring(vehicle)] == nil and stroboTimers[tostring(vehicle)] == nil then  
-- start timers to flash lights with colors

It doesnt work:

Line 23: Expected } near =

Tried debuging myself but no look.

Well, that's just a syntax mistake:

allowedIDS = {[520] = true, [438] = true}
