DiSaMe Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 And it still won't work because the parent of all markers is 'ele'. That's it, if you want to abstractly link values, so that knowing one value would allow you to get another, it's better to use tables than parent/child hierarchy. -

Castillo Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Is a table where the markers are stored. San Andreas Utopia RPG (SAUR) Owner & Developer. Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
Lloyd Logan Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 Is a table where the markers are stored. Oh right thanks! I have one more question, say I had the createVehicle, how would I setElementData to a number? Something like; veh = createVehicle(blahblah) setElementData(veh, blah, blah) --This would be a number to represent the price!
