[Help] How to get spawnpoint ID

[BieHDC]

Hello,

i wanted to know how to get the spawnpoint id from a map file

the id is given from a string...

...but how to get this string

Because if the string is in this example "THEID" i wanna do some sets for this.

i have already found !getElementsByType("spawnpoint")! , but i think this wont be neccersary

edit: or tell me how to use the full string like...

vehicle, x, y, z, rx, ry, rz = ineedsomeinfo ( THEID )

Please help me, thankes

Try this:

local element = getElementByID ( "THEID" ) 
if isElement ( element ) then 
    local allData = getAllElementData ( element ) 
    for data, value in pairs ( allData ) do 
        outputChatBox ( data ..": ".. value ) 
    end 
end

And with this i can get the Data out of a map file?

[./BlackBird#]

    function getMapData(data,valueData) 
        if ( data and valueData ) then 
            for i,v in ipairs(getElementsByType(data)) do 
                if ( v ) then 
                    local value = getElementData(v,valueData) 
                    if ( value ) then 
                        return value 
                    else 
                        return outputDebugString("Bad Argument value data .",1) 
                    end 
                else 
                    return outputDebugString("Bad Argument data .",1) 
                end 
            end 
        else 
            return outputDebugString("Please Add data / value data .",1) 
        end 
    end 

id = getMapData("spawnpoint","id") 
vehicle = getMapData("spawnpoint","vehicle") 
posX = getMapData("spawnpoint","posX") 
posY = getMapData("spawnpoint","posY") 
posZ= getMapData("spawnpoint","posZ") 
rotX = getMapData("spawnpoint","rotX") 
rotY = getMapData("spawnpoint","rotY") 
rotZ = getMapData("spawnpoint","rotZ") 
outputChatBox("Id = "..id.." vehicle = "..vehicle.." posX = "..posX.." posY = "..posY.." posZ = "..posZ.." rotX = "..rotX.." rotY = "..rotY.." rotZ = "..rotZ

ok thx i will try this

edit: but i wanna get the vehicle, posx ... from spawnpoint id

but what you wrote is only to get all spawnpoints and all data from them

My script didn't work? it should get all the data of the specified element.
