1)

Code: [Select]

if ( vehicle player == player ) then { hint "Player is not in any vehicle!" }
will mean that the player is the vehicle of itself, so player is not in a car etc. other vehicle other than "player"

but but but, I understand now that you want to check a specific vehicle like yourJeep:

Code: [Select]

if ( vehicle player != yourJeep ) then { hint "Player is not in yourJeep!" }
If you want to use this in a trigger, then simply write there:

condition: vehicle player != yourJeep
on activation: hint "Player is not in yourJeep!"

2)

Code: [Select]

if ( ! alive player ) then { hint "Player is not alive!" }

Jojo! another Tarzan English writer!!!!  ;D

Well what I've just undertstand.. its that you want to check if the players is in a vehicle.. and if it is alive or dont... so these things may help you...

Code: [Select]

;If the player is alive and out the "vehicle", quits the script
;exec it as "[Jeep,man] exec "thisscript.sqs"
; where jeep is the veihlce in question, and man.. well.. the man

_vehicle = _this select 0
_man = _this select 1


#check
If not _man in _vehicle and alive _man : exit
<Code here>
goto "check"
exit

and in ComRef it says:

soldier in vehicle
Operand types:
    soldier: Object
    vehicle: Object
Type of returned value:
    Boolean
Description:
    Check if soldier is mounted in the vehicle.

Example:
    player in jeepOne

(Note: boolean is true or False)

alive obj
Operand types:
    obj: Object
Type of returned value:
    Boolean
Description:
    Check if given person, vehicle or building is not dead / destroyed.

Example:
    alive player
