Talk:Data Types

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.

• I just saw Norby editing this, and found that it was HORRIBLY outdated (probably this page was started ~a4 - before the idea of "elements" was introduced).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 --Talidan2 16:00, 4 June 2007 (CDT)
