How to tell if a player is in a car?

[FreeER]

I'm working on a mod for the wiki that creates a bomber, you can look at it here. I haven't actually posted any code for it though lol
Anyways what I would like to do is to check for spawners (and maybe creepers) under the bomber, if it finds any then it 'drops' a bomb to kill the spawner. However, I do not want the game to be constantly checking if it is on top of a spawner, only when the player is in a bomber...Does anyone know of a way to do this?

It is not possible now, but it can be added simply.

I was afraid of that lol. I go to make a mod to show what can be done with Factorio and the main portion can't actually be done yet!

Im not sure about this, but it may work.

Firstly, check the player position.
Then check the entities arround the place, and if there isnt a entity called player, the player is inside the vehicle.

That is nice workaround, as the player is not actually on the map
