OnClientElementStreamIn

{{Client event}}
__NOTOC__
This event is triggered whenever a physical element is streamed in. This is triggered for all elements that are streamable, such as players, peds, vehicles, objects and markers. When this event is triggered, that element is guaranteed to be physically created as a GTA object.

==Source==
The [[event system#Event source|source]] of this event is the [[element]] that streamed in

==Example==
This example shows you how to tell player that a marker was streamed in and the distance between player and the marker.
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
addEventHandler( "onClientElementStreamIn", getRootElement( ),
function ( )
if getElementType( source ) == "marker" then
local myPosTab = { getElementPosition( getLocalPlayer( ) ) };
local markerPosTab = { getElementPosition( source ) };
local distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D( unpack( myPosTab ), unpack( markerPosTab ) );
outputChatBox( "A marker has just streamed in. Distance to the marker: " .. tostring( distance ) .."." );
end
end
);
</syntaxhighlight>

There is no link in 'Vehicle Upgrades' in the 'ID list'. I already knew that there is this page, but unfortunately we can't modify this page... :( <br/> [[User:Atti|Atti]] 03:29, 27 January 2008 (CST)

Please add a Link to the German Translation. (DE/Hauptseite)

Same [[Introduction to Scripting the GUI|page]] is linked twice in the 'Getting started' section ('Introduction to Scripting the GUI' and 'Scripted GUI'). [[User:Awwu|Awwu]] 05:03, 25 May 2008 (CDT)

== Request ==
Can you update the bottom section of the homepage to say "Multi Theft Auto 1.4". Also replace "Known Issues" with changelog:

Braunson:

Unclear information. Recently asked on MTA:SA forums.
<blockquote>
If your script is covered in isTimer and isElement checks to hide debug warnings from deleted elements not being dereferenced (making the variable nil) you will regret it when that element ID or timer pointer has to be re-used by MTA in a weeks time and your script starts acting strangely and you won't have a clue why. Dereference destroyed elements and disconnected players!

I saw this tip on this page on the wiki today:

I'm just confused by what it means when it says the element has to be re-used by MTA in a a weeks time.. I'm not sure what it means to be 100% honest. Can anyone explain to mean what that means? I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Information should be revised to be easy to read by new players.
