local myLabel = guiCreateLabel  ( 0, 0, 1, 1, "", true )

function addLabelOnClick ( button, state, absoluteX, absoluteY, worldX, worldY, worldZ, clickedElement )
	--if an element was clicked on screen
	if ( clickedElement ) then
		--retreive the element type
		local elementType = getElementType ( clickedElement )
		--change the label text to that element type
		guiSetText ( myLabel, elementType )
		--and place it in the position of where the element is
		guiSetPosition ( myLabel, absoluteX, absoluteY, true )
		--hide the text by passing an empty string 5 seconds later
		setTimer ( guiSetText, 5000, 1, myLabel, "" )
	end
end
addEventHandler ( "onClientClick", getRootElement(), addLabelOnClick )
