Why is this being triggered?

Why is this being triggered before the addEventHandler is being triggered?

function MarkerHit() 
    destroyElement(injured) 
    destroyElement(marker1) 
    destroyElement(blipp) 
end 

It is just automatically destroying the elements before the marker is being hit!

Where is the handler?

Most likely not bound to a specific marker, but all markers.

Here it is,

function enterVehicle ( thePlayer, seat, jacked ) -- when a player enters a vehicle 
    if ( ambVehicle[getElementModel ( source )] ) and ( ambSkin[getElementModel ( thePlayer )] ) then 
        outputChatBox ( "RADIO: An accident has happened, all units respond!", client, 0, 0, 200) 
        injured = createPed (233, 1203, -1520, 14) 
        setPedAnimation(injured, "CRACK" ,"crckidle2", 150000000, true) 
        blipp = createBlipAttachedTo(injured, 22) 
        local marker1 = createMarker(500.03125, -1319.93359375, 14.099959373474, "cylinder", .5, 0, 222, 0, 100) 
        attachElements (marker1, injured) 
        addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", marker1, MarkerHit ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onVehicleEnter", getRootElement(), enterVehicle ) 
  
function MarkerHit() 
    destroyElement(injured) 
    destroyElement(marker1) 
    destroyElement(blipp) 
end

I'm guessing that it's because the ped you're attaching the marker to is triggering onMarkerHit because marker gets positioned right where that ped is. To avoid this use a check in MarkerHit function:

  
function MarkerHit(hitElement) 
    if hitElement ~= injured then 
          destroyElement(injured) 
          destroyElement(marker1) 
          destroyElement(blipp) 
    end 
end

Perfect, thank you!

You're welcome.
