elementData equivalent?

[ds1-e]

Hey, as title says. Is there any good equivalent to the thing above? I would need to get colshape userdata - colshape attached to vehicle. elementData would be easiest way, but i am not happy to use it. I'm looking for good alternative. I prefer to use tables + manual sync instead.

It's not a problem to get this when player hit colshape, the real problem begins when i need to get this when player is inside of car. This is temporary solution, which imo isn't good.

-- server side example

addCommandHandler("data", function(plr, command)
	local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(plr)
	if not vehicle then outputChatBox("You need to be in vehicle to get data.", plr) return end
	local parent = getElementAttachedTo(vehicle)
	outputChatBox(tostring(parent), plr)
end)

I was thinking about setElementParent/getElementParent. And i found this topic.

 

Just want to know if this function can do the work.

setElementParent/getElementParent

Yes those will work just fine.

 

But keep in mind that other resources might also add other children. So it's better to be a little bit more specific.

local colshapes = getElementChildren ( vehicle, "colshape" ) 
local colshape = colshapes[1]


-- is the colshape not a direct child? Use:

local colshapes = getElementsByType ( "colshape", vehicle ) 
local colshape = colshapes[1]

Thank you.

In case i would need to get vehicle which is related with this colshape it should be like this?

local parent = getElementParent(vehicle) -- returns colshape userdata
local child = getElementChild(parent, 0) -- returns vehicle userdata?
