if getElementType ( hitElement ) == "player" it says ba argument

Probably 'hitElement' contains nothing (false, nil or whatever).

if hitElement then 
  if getElementType ( hitElement ) == "player" then 
    --blah blah 
  end 
end

function example(hitElement) 
 if hitElement then 
  if getElementType(hitElement) == "player" then 
   -- Stuff here 
   end 
 end 
end 

Should work just fine.

read 1 post above.

and btw you can do this:

  
if hitElement and getElementType(hitElement) == "player" then 
  ... 
end
