Since there is no suitable event, the only way you can do it is calling https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/IsElementInWater within short intervalls.

As u see the code above it works fine it respawn when it drown, but it also respawn when a player is inside the car how can I stop that? If players are in the car I don't want it respawn only when nobody is in the car !

local blow = tonumber(get("blowTime")) or 15000 
local idle = tonumber(get("idleTime")) or 300000 
local water = tonumber(get("waterTime")) or 40000 

That is because you only gets strings as returns.

So if you fill in 15000 in the previously code.

This is the value you get.

local blow = "15000" 

But this is what you want.

local blow = 15000 

So you convert them to a number with the tonumber() function.

and if you fill in something which isn't a number at all, it will do:

or 15000  

so will be reset a default.

In debugscript 3 you would have seen this error. Command: /debugscript 3

and about this, this can crash your server: (infinity timers)

function respawnExplodedVehicle() 
    setTimer( respawnExplodedVehicle, blow, 1, otherElements ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onVehicleExplode", getRootElement(), respawnExplodedVehicle) 

Just simply use the wiki example:
