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 elementType, string elementID )
Required Arguments
- elementType: The type of element being created.
- elementID: The ID of the 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" />
