Key presses to trigger something

[[FOTL]Aphex]

Hi, how can I make a script that will allow players to change vehicles by pressing a key?

I have a script that will change you to a random vehicle when you hit a checkpoint, but I dont know how to convert it to work with key presses instead!

function randomCar(checkpoint, time) 
local veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle(source) 
    if 1 <= checkpoint and checkpoint <= 8 then 
        local x,y,z = getElementPosition(veh) 
        setElementModel (veh, carids[math.random(#carids)]) 
        setElementPosition (veh, x, y, z+2) 
    end 
end 
addEvent('onPlayerReachCheckpoint') 
addEventHandler('onPlayerReachCheckpoint', getRootElement(), randomCar) 

I've been looking at this example from the wiki for keypresses

function playerPressedKey(button, press) 
    if (press) then -- Only output when they press it down 
        outputChatBox("You pressed the "..button.." key!") 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientKey", root, playerPressedKey)

addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin",root, 
function () 
    bindKey(source,"F1","down",randomCar) 
end) 
  
addEventHandler("onResourceStart",resourceRoot, 
function () 
    for index, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        bindKey(player,"F1","down",randomCar) 
    end 
end) 
  
function randomCar(player) 
    local veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle(player) 
    if (veh) then 
        local x,y,z = getElementPosition(veh) 
        setElementModel (veh, carids[math.random(#carids)]) 
        setElementPosition (veh, x, y, z+2) 
    end 
end

addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin",root, 
function () 
    bindKey(source,"F1","down",randomCar) 
end) 
  
addEventHandler("onResourceStart",resourceRoot, 
function () 
    for index, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        bindKey(player,"F1","down",randomCar) 
    end 
end) 
  
function randomCar(player) 
    local veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle(player) 
    if (veh) then 
        local x,y,z = getElementPosition(veh) 
        setElementModel (veh, carids[math.random(#carids)]) 
        setElementPosition (veh, x, y, z+2) 
    end 
end 

It works!

Thanks immensely!
