This example adds the command togglecol which toggles the collision between the player and ped.

local tPed = {}
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerSpawn", localPlayer, function()
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition(source)
    if isElement(tPed["thePed"]) then
        destroyElement(tPed["thePed"])
    end
    -- Creates a random ped near player
    tPed["thePed"] = createPed(math.random(209, 238), x + 1, y + 1, z)
end)


function toggleColisionFunc()
    if not isElement(tPed["thePed"]) then return end
    -- Is the local player collidable with the ped?
    local isCollidable = isElementCollidableWith(localPlayer, tPed["thePed"])
    -- Toggles the colision with the ped.
    setElementCollidableWith(localPlayer, tPed["thePed"], not isCollidable)
