element getElementByID ( string id, [ int index = 0 ] )
Required Arguments
- id: The ID of the element as it appears in the XML file.

Example
Assuming we have this in the .map file:
<vehicle id="vipVehicle" posX="10" posY="10" posZ="4" model="602" />
Then this example would retrieve the element and output the vehicle name.
function showVipVehicle() local vipVehicle = getElementByID("vipVehicle") outputChatBox("Vip Vehicle is a: "..getVehicleName(vipVehicle)) end addCommandHandler("vipVehicle",showVipVehicle)
