	** I'm creating a new page listing MTA classes found in scripting. Almost all elements are already covered in [[~~Elements~~]]. As for Lua datatype info, we can just link to the relevant Lua manual pages to avoid unneccessary effort. --[[User:Jbeta\|jbeta]] 19:09, 27 August 2007 (CDT)		** I'm creating a new page listing MTA classes found in scripting.

Jbeta: data-types ~= userdata-types

2007-06-03T23:37:32Z

data-types ~= userdata-types

New page

== data-types ~= userdata-types ==

Not that this listing isn't helpful, but some correctness would help keep things clear, even if we aren't publishing this page.

Strictly speaking, these aren't Lua datatypes - Lua does only have a ''number'' type, not ''int'' / ''float'', and all "special" types from MTA belong in Lua's userdata type. Other true Lua datatypes as functions, tables, threads and nil aren't mentioned here.

Seems there are a few more non-element kinds of MTA userdata, such as timers and resources. Also, ''GUI elements'' could probably be renamed to GUI ''objects'' or ''widgets'' to avoid confusion.
