[Question] data

[The Killer]

hello !

i have one question

why when i do this :

if getElementData(player, "HitMarker") == true then 
outputChatBox("You did take the money you can't take it twice", player, 255, 0, 0) 
else 
givePlayerMoney(player, 1) 
outputChatBox("You have got $1", player, 0, 255, 0) 
setElementData(player, "HitMarker", true) 

and i hit the marker again it say :

You did take the money you can't take it twice.

but when i do 'reconnect'

and hit it again, it give me the money !!

why is that ?

Cause ElementData is attached on an element. When this player/element leaves, the element is gone and so is the data.

Elements are actuality in lua expressed as user-data. Every element does have it's own user-data, they are build up out several numbers and letters.

When a player leaves the server his user-data can be saved at the server, but when he rejoins his user-data has been changed.

But you can use the player account (or serial) instead.
