why this isn`t working?

[kuwalda]

Could you please tell me why these things don`t work for me:

  
setElementData( localPlayer, "meetingpoint", createMarker( _G[""..getElementData( localPlayer, "raceParticipate" )..""][1][1], _G[""..getElementData( localPlayer, "raceParticipate" )..""][1][2], _G[""..getElementData( localPlayer, "raceParticipate" )..""][1][3], "checkpoint", 6, 116, 237, 5, 90 )) 
setMarkerIcon(getElementData(localplayer, "meetingpoint"), "finish" ) 
  

Marker is being created, but "finish" icon is not set

  
deletothis = getElementData(thePlayer, "meetingpoint") 
destroyElement(deletothis) 
  

And later on, why does this is not deleting that marker?

As I would have to guess, there is some kinda problem with getElementData

getElementData works perfectly, you're just using it incorrectly.

Line 3: You had localplayer instead of localPlayer

setMarkerIcon(getElementData(localPlayer, "meetingpoint"), "finish") 

Is thePlayer variable used in the second snippet defined?

Also, check debug ( /debugscript 3 ) for warnings/errors and other info.
