• theOldValue: The old value of this entry before it changed. The new value can be accessed using getElementData ( source, theName ).

Source

Example

This example outputs a message to players when any of their element data values is changed.

function outputChange(dataName,oldValue)
	if getElementType(source) == "player" then -- check if the element is a player
		local newValue = getElementData(source,dataName) -- find the new value
		outputChatBox("Your element data '"..tostring(dataName).."' has changed from '"..tostring(oldValue).."' to '"..tostring(newValue).."'",source) -- output the change for the affected player
	end
end
