This code defines anisinvehiclecommand which tells a player whether another player is in a vehicle or not.

-- we create our handler function, where sourcePlayer is the player who sent the command,
-- and checkedPlayerName is the player name specified.
function outputIsInVehicle ( sourcePlayer, commandName, checkedPlayerName )
  -- we get the player element from the nick specified
  local checkedPlayer = getPlayerFromName ( checkedPlayerName )
  -- if there exists a player with that nick
  if ( checkedPlayer ) then
    -- if he's in a vehicle,
    if isPedInVehicle ( checkedPlayer ) then
      -- tell the source player
      outputChatBox ( checkedPlayerName .. " is in a vehicle.", sourcePlayer )
    -- if he's not in a vehicle,
    else
      -- tell the source player
      outputChatBox ( checkedPlayerName .. " is not in a vehicle.", sourcePlayer )
    end
  -- if it doesn't exist,
  else
    -- tell the source player
    outputChatBox ( "Invalid player name.", sourcePlayer )
  end
end


-- define a handler for the isinvehicle command
addCommandHandler ( "isinvehicle", outputIsInVehicle )
