Bandwidth wastage or bug fix?

This is From the stealth source. (server)

            local objectlist = getElementsByType ( "object" )  
            for index, object in ipairs(objectlist) do 
                if ( getElementData ( object, "renew" ) == "1" ) then--wtf? 
                    local x,y,z = getElementPosition( object ) 
                    local rx,ry,rz = getObjectRotation ( object ) 
                    local obid = getElementModel ( object ) 
                    destroyElement(object) 
                    local newobject = createObject ( obid, x, y, z, rx, ry, rz ) 
                    setElementData ( newobject, "renew", "1"  )--wtf? 
                end 
            end

probably not all of the objects have to be renewed at the start of a round

for example you would want to recreate breakable windows and boxes, but not houses or other structures

yes, but it is still wasted of bandwidth.

It is better to store it in a table.

and the strange thing aboth all that the element data never will be set in the script except the element data already exist.
