[Davey]

    "Davey" type="script" name="Engine" /> 
    "meta.xml" type="client"/> 
      
    client="1.3.1" server="1.3.1" /> 
     
    false
  
    

is this good its the meta,

function turnEngineOff ( theVehicle, leftSeat, jackerPlayer ) 
     
    if leftSeat == 0 and not jackerPlayer then 
         
        setVehicleEngineState ( theVehicle, false ) 
    end 
end 
-- add 'turnEngineOff' as a handler for "onPlayerExitVehicle" 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerVehicleExit", getRootElement ( ), turnEngineOff ) 

and this is the lua, i think i forgotten the bind or command lua,

[Davey]

-- add 'turnEngineOff' as a handler for "onPlayerExitVehicle" 

oh, and yes i forgotten this last line to delete or i suposed to place back the other lines or is this only a example line?

Yes, it's just a comment.

yes it is only one line example that will not disrupt your script

[Davey]

and now the problem i think i need a command lua or something like if i type /engine the engine will stop or start that the target of my script and the script is 2 files meta.xml engine.lua do i miss something?

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerVehicleEnter",root, 
function( theVehicle, jackerPlayer )

I don't understand what do you mean. Did you mean this?:

function toggleEngine(source) 
local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(source) 
    if vehicle then 
        local state = getVehicleEngineState(vehicle) 
        setVehicleEngineState(vehicle, not state) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler( "engine", toggleEngine )

    if vehicle then 
        local state = getVehicleEngineState(vehicle) 
        setVehicleEngineState(vehicle, not state) -- wtf?>>>>>>>>>> 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler( "engine", toggleEngine ) 

Is this possible? setVehicleEngineState(vehicle, not state) ?

function toggleEngine(source) 
local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(source) 
    if vehicle then 
        if getVehicleEngineState(vehicle) then 
         setVehicleEngineState(vehicle, false) 
        else 
        setVehicleEngineState(vehicle, true) 
       end 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler( "engine", toggleEngine )

It is, 'not state' will return the opposite boolean value. That means, if the engine is on (returns 'true'), 'not state' "returns" the opposite boolean value 'false' and vice versa.
