Client.lua

RegisterNetEvent( 'engineoff' )
AddEventHandler( 'engineoff', function()
		local ped = GetPlayerPed(-1)
		local playercar = GetVehiclePedIsUsing(ped)
			if ped == playercar then
				SetVehicleUndriveable(playercar, true)
				SetVehicleEngineOn(playercar, false)
				ShowNotification("~g~The engine of this vehicle is off.")

Server.lua

-- Add an event handler for the 'chatMessage' event
AddEventHandler( 'chatMessage', function( source, n, msg )  

    msg = string.lower( msg )
    
    -- Check to see if a client typed in /
    if ( msg == "/engineoff" or msg == "/EngineOff" ) then 
    
        -- Cancel the chat message event (stop the server from posting the message)
        CancelEvent() 

        -- Trigger the client event 
        TriggerClientEvent( 'engineoff', source )
    end
end )
```

It burns my tired eyes, you are just comparing a vehicle to a player :
GetPlayerPed returns your ped entity, and GetVehiclePedIsUsing returns the last used/actually used vehicle.

So remove the if, as it makes no sense

3

so just remove the whole if

and sorry about hurting your eyes xD

If you are actually using essential mode (no matter the version) you should use it as a base :

TriggerEvent('es:addCommand', 'jobadd', function(source, args, user)


	if user.permission_level <= 5 then
		TriggerClientEvent("izone:notification", source, "Tu n'as pas la permision de faire cela, 5 nécéssaire.", false)
		CancelEvent()
	else
		if #args ~= 3 then
			TriggerClientEvent("izone:notification", source, "Ustilisation /jobadd Bucheron serverId ou /jobadd SansEmplois serverId", false)
			CancelEvent()
		else
			if type(args[3]) == type(0) then
				TriggerEvent("es:getPlayerFromId", args[3], function(targetUser)
					if allJob.args[2].name ~= nil then
						if targetUser ~= nil then
							TriggerClientEvent("izone:notification", source, "Le job " .. allJob[i].name .. " a été appliqué au joueur donné.", true)
							--TriggerClientEvent("ijob:addjob", args[3], allJob[i].name) innutil maintenant
							allJob[args[2]]:addEmploye(targetUser.identifier, args[3])
							CancelEvent()
						else
							TriggerClientEvent("izone:notification", source, "iJob ne trouve pas le joueur demandé.", false)
							CancelEvent()
						end
					else
	 					TriggerClientEvent("izone:notification", source, "iJob ne trouve pas de job correspondant a ta demande.", false)
						TriggerClientEvent("ijob:displayjobname", source)
						CancelEvent()
					end
			else
				TriggerClientEvent("izone:notification", source, "iJob attend un chiffre en deuxième argument.", false)
				CancelEvent()
			end
		end
	end

end)

No matter what is in there, just remember that : (I show you that so you can understand the verification I done and so you have an example)

TriggerEvent('es:addCommand', 'YourCommandWithoutSlash', function(source, args, user)
 -- Note that #args (lenght of arguments contain the command, like /jobadd test test : args = {"jobadd", "test", "test"}
end)

I hope it’ll help you :slight_smile:

vehicle controls is the best for my opinion
