setElementData problem

[arezu]

I have a problem with settings element data server sided.

outputChatBox("set playing: "..tostring(setElementData(player, "race.playing", true))) 
outputChatBox("set ghostmode: "..tostring(setElementData(player, "race.ghostmode", true))) 

It says in chatbox:

set playing: true

set ghostmode: false

There is no error in debugscript, so i dont know what the problem is.

Also, race.ghostmode element data for vehicles work, but not for players.

You're using setElementData, the function sets the element data, not gets.

outputChatBox("set playing: "..tostring(getElementData(player, "race.playing"))) 
outputChatBox("set ghostmode: "..tostring(getElementData(player, "race.ghostmode")))

outputChatBox("set playing: "..tostring(getElementData(player, "race.playing"))) 
outputChatBox("set ghostmode: "..tostring(getElementData(player, "race.ghostmode"))) 

Yes i know that, but i used outputChatBox to see if it was successfully set (setting element data doesn't work for some reason for the second one).

Are you sure that the data isn't already "true"?

read wiki:

Returns true if the data was set succesfully, false otherwise.

I'm afraid the wiki is wrong then, take a look:

Executing client-side command: outputChatBox("set playing: "..tostring(setElementData(localPlayer, "race.playing", true))) outputChatBox("set ghostmode: "..tostring(setElementData(localPlayer, "race.ghostmode", true)))

set playing: true

set ghostmode: true

Command executed!

Executing client-side command: outputChatBox("set playing: "..tostring(setElementData(localPlayer, "race.playing", true))) outputChatBox("set ghostmode: "..tostring(setElementData(localPlayer, "race.ghostmode", true)))

set playing: false

set ghostmode: false

Command executed!

[arezu]

oh, so it returns false when new element data value is same as old, and onClientElementDataChange is not called.

Thanks for the help

wiki is not clear enough

[Castillo]

Yeah, that always happened to me, when I tried to set element data same as old, it returned false.

You're welcome.
