Am I on the right way?
Im trying to get an action going when I press a button which in this case is K (311).
But It doesnt work.

local active = true

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
    while active do
        Citizen.Wait(1)
        carModel()
    end
end)

function carModel()
    local plycar = GetEntityModel(GetVehiclePedIsUsing(GetPlayerPed(-1), false))

    if plycar == 'ADDER' and IsControlPressed(0, 311) then
        -- Do Something
    elseif  plycar == 'POUNDER' and IsControlPressed(0, 311) then
        -- Do Something
    end
    
end

I’ve been looking for other Natives, but I couldn’t find one. Thanks In Advance!

The issue is at GetEntityModel, this returns an hash, not a string

So comparing an hash to a string is not going to work. You probably would need to use GetHashKey on the ADDER and POUNDER string.

GetHashKey("ADDDER");
GetHashKey("POUNDER");

If it still doesn’t work, try printing what comes out of plycar and the GetHashKey methods.

function carModel()
    local plycar = GetEntityModel(GetVehiclePedIsUsing(GetPlayerPed(-1), false))

    if plycar == GetHashKey("ADDER") and IsControlPressed(0, 311) then
        -- Do Something
    elseif  plycar == GetHashKey("POUNDER") and IsControlPressed(0, 311) then
        -- Do Something
    end
    
end

Like this? If so it still doesnt work?

As I said before, see what the value of plycar is using a print.

Its gives “-1216765807” Doing

plycar == GetHashKey("-1216765807")

Still doesnt work, Did I do it wrong?

Syntasu · 2018-10-03T20:57:51.557Z

The code you posted is correct then, since print(GetHashKey("ADDER")); prints -1216765807

It should just work fine from as far I can tell.

BigYoda · 2018-10-03T21:00:57.321Z

function carModel()
    local plycar = GetEntityModel(GetVehiclePedIsUsing(GetPlayerPed(-1), false))

    if plycar == GetHashKey("-1216765807") then
        TriggerClientEvent('chatMessage', source, {255, 255, 255}, "Test")
    end

end

This doesnt print anything in the chat. It should right?
This is what activates the function

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
    while true do
        Citizen.Wait(1)
        carModel()
    end
end)

GetHashKey("-1216765807")

That’s wrong, now you are hashing a hash, this should be

GetHashKey("ADDER")

Another note, printing to chat each frame is going to make your client slow and unresponsive

Isn’t that how I put it in the beginning? or am I wrong? Sorry, Im new to Coding and its a bit hard sometimes lol
