Custom elements & map elements

[World Championship]

I have two elements, they have to be parents of everything. One of their children is "the spawn points" which is defined in a map file. How can I make "the spawn points" children of the two parent elements, from the map file?

I tried:

  
<map> 
    <parent1 id="x"> 
        <spawnpoints> 
            ... 
        </spawnpoints> 
        <cameras> 
            ... 
        </cameras> 
    </parent1> 
    <parent2 id="y"> 
        <cameras> 
            ... 
        </cameras> 
    </parent2> 
</map> 
  

But that code just made another two elements, instead of adding cameras and spawnpoints to the elements created already (which is what I want). Is this possible from the map file?

Yes it is possible, however you may have to use a EDF, or else make a custom maploader resource and load the map as a config.

each element can only have one direct parent, but it can have many children...

the best thing that you can do is:

<map> 
    <parent1 id="x"> 
        <spawnpoints> 
            ... 
        </spawnpoints> 
        <parent2 id="y"> 
            <cameras> 
                ... 
           </cameras> 
        </parent2> 
    </parent1> 
</map> 

event handlets and functions attached to parent1 will work for spawnpoints and cameras, the ones attached to parent2 will only work for cameras

Where can I find information about "EDF"?

Edit: nevermind, "https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/EDF".

Thanks.
