        {
            SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "You're looking at your vehicle!");
        }
        else
        {
            SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "You're not looking at your vehicle.");
        }
        return 1;
    }
    return 0;
}

Notes

tip

This function can (obviously) only return one vehicle ID at a time, while the player may be looking at multiple. It generally seems to detect the closest vehicle first.

warning

This function is disabled by default to save bandwidth. Use EnablePlayerCameraTarget to enable it for each player.
