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.
Elements created using this function are placed in the element tree with their parent as the 'dynamic' map element.
Syntax
element createElement ( string elementType, [ string elementID = nil ] )
OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!
- Method: Element(...)
Required Arguments
- elementType: The type of element being created.
Optional Arguments
- 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( "flag", "blue" )
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" />
