setElementData for strings

[BriGhtx3]

Is there a way to set the data for a string like Boom?

For example :

setElementData("boom","dog","cow")

String is not element.. you can't.

[Maurize]

setElementData( element, "data", value ) 
--[[for code use:]] tostring( value ) or tonumber( value )

Miki i would not have asked if i didn't know that -.-

Maurize thats not what i asked

[BriGhtx3]

New thing :

  
--Clientside 
thesitetext = tostring(triggerServerEvent("getText",getLocalPlayer(),url)) 
  
--ServerSide 
  
function getSiteText(site) 
local thetext = tostring(MySQL_GetString("web", "Text", "Site='"..site.."'")) 
return thetext 
end 
addEvent("getText",true) 
addEventHandler("getText",getRootElement(),getSiteText) 

Why does it return true?

But when I output it serverside it outputs the text ?

Why don't you check the wiki page for that function?

Wiki quote:

Returns

Returns true if the event trigger has been sent, false if invalid arguments were specified.

-- client side: 
  
triggerServerEvent("getText",getLocalPlayer(),url) 
  
-- server side: 
  
function getSiteText(site) 
local thetext = MySQL_GetString("web", "Text", "Site='"..site.."'") 
return thetext 
end 
addEvent("getText",true) 
addEventHandler("getText",getRootElement(),getSiteText)

Yes but i don't know how to output the text clientside.

It still just returns true and not the text.

[Castillo]

You'll have to trigger back to the client with

triggerClientEvent

Okay, got it, but now it first puts out "---" and by the second time the real text

:edit

got it
