Oh right thanks! I have one more question, say I had the createVehicle, how would I setElementData to a number? Something like; veh = createVehicle(blahblah) setElementData(veh, blah, blah) --This would be a number to represent the price!

Thank you! What does the link do?

Or, how would (if I were to say, getElementPosition), select a certain value from a table? Like [1]

I understand what he is getting at, but I don't know how to apply it.

This doesn't work Castillo!

Hi, I've set the parent, so why doesn't this work? If you look where i put ----THIS HERE!!

Actually thanks for that! Because of myonlake post I never saw yours! This also helped, thanks!

Thanks!

That's what I was kinda looking for! So if I were to enter a marker, to get the name of a vehicle, would I set the parent vehicle to a marker other vice versa?

Well, because I don't fully understand your code, I cant say for sure, but from looking, i think it's right!

Is there anyway to link a marker with a vehicle? I mean, if i were to enter a marker, it would tell me 'something' of a certain vehicle? Example : Player steps into the marker, and gets details of a certain car?

Anyone?

Thank you! A quick question, what does; for i, v in ipairs ( markers ) do mean?

I have quite a number of markers, is there any easier way of doing local marker1, marker2 = createMarker ( ... ), createMarker ( ... ) local ele = createElement ( "markers" ) setElementParent ( marker1, ele ) setElementParent ( marker2, ele )

Dummy element has to be a real element, or can be made up? EDIT: Nevermind, I understand now thanks!

Dummy element has to be a real element, or can be made up?

When someone enters a marker, you would use onMarkerHit(themarkertheyentered) But if I have many markers, how can I use this so that if they enter any of these markers, one event is triggered (onMarkerHit)

Thanks! I didn't know I needed the resourceRoot though!
