* I just saw Norby editing this, and found that it was HORRIBLY outdated (probably this page was started ~a4 - before the idea of "elements" was introduced). I decided to update it a little (dont have much time). I understand that lots of stuff is missing, and am considering merging all the element tree into one description which talks about elements, and links to element page for specifics --[[User:Talidan2|Talidan2]] 16:00, 4 June 2007 (CDT) | * I just saw Norby editing this, and found that it was HORRIBLY outdated (probably this page was started ~a4 - before the idea of "elements" was introduced).

** 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) |

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.
