# NPC\_GetVehicleHydraThrusters

warning

This function was added in omp v1.5.8.3079 and will not work in earlier versions!

## Description

Gets the thruster direction of an NPC's Hydra vehicle.

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| npcid | The ID of the NPC |

## Returns

Returns the thruster direction (0 = forward, 1 = vertical), or -1 if not in a Hydra.

## Examples

```c
public OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[])
{
    if (!strcmp(cmdtext, "/checkvehiclehydra", true))
    {
        new npcid = PlayerNPC[playerid];
        if (npcid == INVALID_NPC_ID)
            return SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "You are not debugging a NPC.");

        if (!NPC_IsValid(npcid))
            return SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "Invalid NPC.");

        if (NPC_GetVehicle(npcid) == INVALID_VEHICLE_ID)
            return SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFFFF00FF, "NPC %d is not in any vehicle.", npcid);

        new thrusters = NPC_GetVehicleHydraThrusters(npcid);

        if (thrusters == 0)
            SendClientMessage(playerid, 0x00FF00FF, "NPC %d: Hydra thrusters FORWARD (0)", npcid);
        else
            SendClientMessage(playerid, 0x00FF00FF, "NPC %d: Hydra thrusters BACKWARD (1)", npcid);

        return 1;
    }
    return 0;
}
```
