Question elementdata

[Bean666]

hi, im asking a question

what if i make a function with setElementData in a resource. then if i make another resource

will getElementData work with the data i set in the other resource?

will it get the data from the other resource?

[Castillo]

Yes.

Element data is shared between all resources.

uhm just a question

will this set the player's ElementData to "tough" when he clicks the button "button"?

function toughperk( ) 
if (source == localPlayer) then 
setElementData(localPlayer,"tough", true) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", button, toughperk ) 

[Castillo]

Yes.

By the way, 'source' of onClientGUIClick is the button, not the localPlayer, remove that 'if' check.

[Bean666]

like this?

function toughperk( ) 
setElementData(localPlayer,"tough", true) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", button, toughperk )

ok thanks i just had to remove 1 end and it's already working , thanks. anyways will this work if i get the player's data?

if (getElementType(player) == "player") and getElementData(player, "toughperk") == true then 

[Castillo]

You have a missing parentheses after 'true' and before 'then'.

ok i got it working but , how can i save a player's Element Data when he quits the game? and when he joins game it sets the saved Element Data?

[Bean666]

nvm it works fine when i used:

function quitPlayer () 
    local account = getPlayerAccount (source) 
    local data = getElementData(source, "toughperk") 
    if data == true then 
    setAccountData (account, "toughperk", true ) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerQuit", getRootElement(), quitPlayer ) 
  
addEventHandler ( 'onPlayerLogin', getRootElement ( ), 
    function ( _, theCurrentAccount) 
    local ifaccountperk = getAccountData(theCurrentAccount, "toughperk") 
    if ifaccountperk == true then 
    setElementData(source,"toughperk", true) 
    setAccountData (account, "toughperk", false ) 
    else 
    setElementData(source,"toughperk", false) 
end 
end 
)
