Dialog-information.png This article needs checking.
Reason(s): createElement doesn't actually restrict element types. You can create any abstract element with a hardcoded type - I'm not really sure if this is a bug or a feature.
Also, the ID element should be optional and go after the type. --jbeta 12:26, 25 September 2007 (CDT)

This function is used to create a new dummy element in the element tree which do not necessarily represent an entity within the San Andreas world. A common use for this function is for creating custom elements, such as a Flag or a Base.

Syntax

element createElement ( string elementID, string elementType )

Required Arguments

  • elementID: The ID of the element being created.
  • elementType: The type of element being created.

Returns

Returns the element if it was successfully created. Returns false if the arguments are wrong.

Example

This example creates a "flag" element, named "blue", which will be at the resource's dynamic map. 

blueTeamFlag = createElement( "blue", "flag" )

Except for it being placed in a different map root, that line will have the same effect as having this in a .map file: 

<flag id="blue" />
