[Stranger]

[WhoAmI]

getPedTarget 
destroyElement 

[Stranger]

i did it like that:

setTimer (function (player) 
target = getPedTarget (player) 
if getElementType (target) == "vehicle" then 
destroyElement (target) 
end 
end, 500,0) 

but not working !

of course it isn't working.

The variable player is nil is nothing and useless, when you don't define it.

setTimer (function () 
    local players = getElementsByType("player") 
    for i=1,#players do 
        local player = players[i] 
        local target = getPedTarget (player) 
        if target and getElementType (target) == "vehicle" then 
            destroyElement (target) 
        end 
    end 
end, 500,0)

I am not going to make it exact as you want, it is your code.

Use:

To check if somebody is aiming.

thank you.

onPlayerTarget event is way better.

onPlayerTarget event is way better.

Not really since that only get triggered when a player change from target and not when he starts aiming.

The best result would be using bindkey, but will require more bandwidth.
