1- Add a trigger to car. Basically add a cube to the car and parent it, select isTrigger and close MeshRenderer. Let's tag it as "carTrigger" .

Now add Player this code :

  var item1 : GameObject ; //select the car
 
   function OnTriggerStay(c : Collider)
    {
         if(c.gameObject.tag == "carTrigger")
         {
            if(Input.GetKeyDown("e"))
             {
            gameObject.active = false ;//player is not active
            item1.active = true ;//car is active
             }
         }
 
    }

this is a way you can use, but there are many ways without using active . While car is not active you can use a dublicade car without driving code and deactivate it when your car with driving script becoming active.

3 errors;

Assets/Standard Assets/Terrain Grass/Sandbox Controller.js(13,3): BCE0043: Unexpected token: if.

Assets/Standard Assets/Terrain Grass/Sandbox Controller.js(13,53): BCE0043: Unexpected token: ).

Assets/Standard Assets/Terrain Grass/Sandbox Controller.js(13,67): BCE0044: expecting :, found '='.

this is the script called sand box controller:

var CameraPlayer1 : Camera; var CameraPlayer2 : Camera; var Player1 : GameObject; var Player2 : GameObject;

function OnTriggerEnter (col : Collider) {

if (isDriving == false) { isDriving = true; GetIn(); } }

function GetIn() { { if(Input.Get$$anonymous$$eyDown("E")) && ((isDriving) == true)) { isDriving = false; GetOut(); } } { Player1.active = true; Player2.active = false;

 CameraPlayer1.active = true;
 CameraPlayer2.active = false;
 
 Player1Script.GetComponent("PlayerCar_Script").enabled = true;
 Player2Script.GetComponent("FPSWalker").enabled = false;

} }

function GetOut() {

{ if(Input.Get$$anonymous$$eyDown("E")) { Player1.active = false; Player2.active = true;

 CameraPlayer1.active = false;
 CameraPlayer2.active = true;
 Player1Script.GetComponent("PlayerCar_Script").enabled = false;
 Player2Script.GetComponent("FPSWalker").enabled = true;

} }

there are many things unclear I think. You should try to do some basic tutorials and understand them, before you go ahead I think.

The function OnTriggerEnter gets only called at the very moment you enter the collider. If you not press E at this very moment, you would have only a chance to enter the car again, if you left the collider and entered it again, while pressing $$anonymous$$ Sure thats not what you want.

Also to call the function GetOut while beeing in the function GetIn is hilarious.

None the less I wish you good luck with your GTA Clone ;)
