hey guys,

setElementCollisionsEnabled 

There is even an example on wiki for that function, as what you described/wanted.

So i should use this with onPlayerDamage or which event ?

function disableVehicleCollisionsNearPlayer(thePlayer, maxDistance) 
    local playerX, playerY, playerZ = getElementPosition(thePlayer) 
    local vehicles = getElementsByType("vehicle") 
    for k,v in ipairs(vehicles) do 
        local vehicleX, vehicleY, vehicleZ = getElementPosition(v) 
        -- get the distance between the player and the vehicle: 
        local distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(vehicleX, vehicleY, vehicleZ, playerX, playerY, playerZ) 
        if (distance <= maxDistance) then 
            -- disable collisions for the vehicle 
            setElementCollisionsEnabled(v, false) 
        end 
    end 
end

onResourceStart 

or

onPlayerJoin 

or

onVehicleEnter

it's not working correctly

    function enterVehicle ( thePlayer, seat, jacked ) 
        local playerX, playerY, playerZ = getElementPosition(thePlayer) 
        local vehicles = getElementsByType("vehicle") 
        for k,v in ipairs(vehicles) do 
            local vehicleX, vehicleY, vehicleZ = getElementPosition(v) 
            -- get the distance between the player and the vehicle: 
            local distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(vehicleX, vehicleY, vehicleZ, playerX, playerY, playerZ) 
            if (distance <= 1) then 
                -- disable collisions for the vehicle 
                setElementCollisionsEnabled(v, false) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
    addEventHandler ( "onVehicleEnter", getRootElement(), enterVehicle )

                setElementCollisionsEnabled(v, false) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
    addEventHandler ( "onVehicleEnter", getRootElement(), enterVehicle ) 

Making it easy, this is client-sided.. on entering vehicle sets it disabled to collide with players, and on exit reverse it.

function enterVehicle() 
    local players = getElementsByType ( "player" ) 
    setElementCollidableWith ( source, players, false ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientVehicleEnter", getRootElement(), enterVehicle ) 
  
function exitingVehicle () 
    local players = getElementsByType ( "player" ) 
    setElementCollidableWith ( source, players, true ) 
addEventHandler("onClientVehicleStartExit", getRootElement(), exitingVehicle)

well, i don't want ghost mode i just want to cancel it

ah, thats weird, you have to use:

onClientVehicleCollision 

and do something like on hitting element player, bouncing back the vehicle or setting delay by freezing vehicle!

cancelEvent() will not work!

[codeluaeveryday]

Try this.

addEventHandler("onClientPlayerDamage", localPlayer, 
    function(theAttacker, theWeapon, theBodypart) 
        if ( theAttacker.type == "vehicle" and localPlayer.vehicle ~= theAttacker ) then 
            cancelEvent() 
        end 
    end 
) 

You can also use OnClientPreRender and run a quick check to see if a player has collided with the vehicle and quickly allow it to pass through
