[Help] Apply Impulse to a vehicle

[player_258]

Im trying to make a script that randomly "pushes" a car in a random direction.

The problem is, i don't know how to get the vehicle that the player is driving.

btw, this is supposed to work in a server running "race" Gamemode.

server.lua

  
addEvent("forceButtonInfo",true) 
  
function forceButtonServer(playerName) --Connected with a gui button in client.lua 
    local targetPlayer = getPlayerFromName ( playerName ) 
        if ( targetPlayer ) then 
            outputChatBox("Player Found!") --This actually appears in the chatbox so the function is working 
            setElementVelocity ( targetPlayer,math.random(-100,100), math.random(-100,100),math.random(-100,100) ) --This doesnt work 
        else 
            outputChatBox("Player not Found") 
        end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "forceButtonInfo", getRootElement(), forceButtonServer ) 
  

Sorry if theres any typo, im not a native english speaker.

You can get a player's vehicle so whith getPedOccupiedVehicle. And if you try to set a ped's velocity which is standing on the ground X and Y won't be applied to the player, just Z.
