[HELP][LUA] Get Ped / Vehicle attached to vehicle

FiveM Resource Development Discussion

Hello,
My script attaches vehicles and / or peds to vehicles.
How can I check if a vehicle or a ped is attached to a vehicle (when I know the vehicle)?

I’ve already tried GetEntityAttachedTo(vehicle), IsEntityAttached(vehicle), IsEntityAttachedToAnyPed(vehicle) / IsEntityAttachedToAnyVehicle(vehicle).

Can’t you just use GetEntityAttachedTo( and then run GetEntityType() on it?

3

If GetEntityType(vehicle) returns the type (wich is vehicle (2)), it doesn’t help me, checking if there is something attached to the entity saved as vehicle, right?

4

It returns 2 if a vehicle is attached, 1 for a ped

So you can just do

local type = GetEntityType(vehicle)

if type == 2 then
    -- vehicle attached
elseif type == 1 then
    -- ped attached
end

Or am I misunderstanding your goal?

5

Does it return the attached entity?
vehicle is a car, wich has a ped or a vehicle attached to it. I need to find out, if there is something (type does not matter) attached to it.

6

You can just do GetEntityAttachedTo(vehicle) than and check if the entity exists probably

7 
DoesEntityExist(GetEntityAttachedTo(GetVehiclePedIsIn(GetPlayerPed(-1), 0)))

The player is sitting in an vehicle wich has another vehicle attached to it. It returns false.

Any other method? Or have I made a mistake?

Ok I did some testing, seems like GetEntityAttachedTo() only works on the attached entity
