setElementInterior ( platformKillerofNoobObject, 901 ) 
  
function platformKillerofNoob ( hitElement, matchingDimension ) 
    if ( getElementType ( hitElement ) == "Object" ) then 
    targetPlayer = getPlayerFromName 
            setElementHealth ( targetPlayer, - 100 )

platformKillerofNoobObject = createObject ( 8661, -15, 95, 100 ) 
setElementInterior ( platformKillerofNoobObject, 901 ) 
  
function platformKillerofNoob ( targetElem, matchingDimension ) 
    if getElementType ( targetElem ) == "object" and getElementModel ( targetElem ) == 8661 then 
    targetPlayer = getPlayerFromName 
            setElementHealth ( targetPlayer, - 100 )  
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerContact", getRootElement(), platformKillerofNoob ) 

I tried it, it saying on console when I hit the element

Bad argument at 'getElementType' [Expected element at argument 1, got nil ]

[denny199]

Thats because targetElem isn't a element.

Parameters

element previousElement, element currentElement

previousElement: The element player was standing on before. nil if none.

currentElement: The new element that the player is standing on now. nil if none.

also:

Source

The source of this event is the player who hit an element.

So:

platformKillerofNoobObject = createObject ( 8661, -15, 95, 100 ) 
setElementInterior ( platformKillerofNoobObject, 901 ) 
  
function platformKillerofNoob (prev, current) 
    if current == platformKillerofNoobObject then 
 killPed (source) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerContact", getRootElement(), platformKillerofNoob )
