This function is used to create dummy elements in the element table, but do not have a counterpart 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 id, string type )
Required Arguments
- id: The ID of the element being created.
- type: The type of element being created. This value will be returned if getElementType is used on it.
Returns
Returns the element if it was successfully created. Returns false if the arguments are wrong or if the type is not allowed. Unallowed types include hard-coded MTA elements (such as "vehicle") and the type "dummy".
Example

<flag id="blue" />
