<function name="IsValidVehicle" parent="Vehicle" type="classfunc"> <description> Determines whether a given <page>Vehicle</page> is in a valid Vehicle state. It is possible, in uncommon circumstances, for a Vehicle to return `true` to <page>Global.IsValid</page> and to <page>Entity:IsVehicle</page> while being in an invalid Vehicle state. This function exists to detect that situation. Determines whether a given <page>Vehicle</page> is fully initialized. It is possible, in uncommon circumstances, for a <page text="valid">Global.IsValid</page> <page text="vehicle">Entity:IsVehicle</page> entity to be in an invalid state, such as before <page>Entity:Spawn</page> is called on the vehicle after creation. ⤶ If this function returns `false`, then the <page>Vehicle</page> functions are not usable on this vehicle, while <page>Entity</page> functions are. </description> <realm>Shared</realm> <rets> <ret name="" type="boolean"> `true` if the Vehicle is in a valid state, or `false` if the Vehicle is in an invalid state. </ret> </rets> </function> <example> <description> Below is an example demonstrating a way that a Vehicle can return `true` to <page>Global.IsValid</page> and <page>Entity:IsVehicle</page> but still be in an invalid Vehicle state. </description> <code> -- Create a new jeep, but leave it in an unfinished state local jeep = ents.Create( "prop_vehicle_jeep" ) print( IsValid( jeep ) ) -- Prints "true" print( jeep:IsVehicle() ) -- Prints "true" print( jeep:IsValidVehicle() ) -- Prints "false" timer.Simple( 1, function() -- Finalize the jeep's creation and put it into a valid Vehicle state jeep:Spawn() print( jeep:IsValidVehicle() ) -- Prints "true" end ) </code> </example>
