colcuboid createColCuboid - how to extract it's size?

[Yazir]

Hello! I have a problem - I need to retrieve size of cuboids. How can i do that, I can only retrieve it's position.

Also is there any simple way to make cuboids? Like making own definition to editor?

Are you using this to create the cube?
 

local cubeCollider = createColCuboid ( posX, posY, posZ, sizeX, sizeY, sizeZ )

You should be able to get it via using getElementData. I'm not sure what the data is called but try "sizeX", "width" or "fWidth" I suppose.

@lordhenry Yes i use createColCuboid

@Dealman I might try that. Is there a way to print out various element's data?

[Dealman]

There is the server-sided getAllElementData but whether or not it gets data added natively I don't know.

If it returns a table simply loop through it and output the key and value.

I'll have a look on that.

I have a problem with something else. I've drawn an rectangle with dxDrawRectangle, do you know how i can change it's size?

The getAllElementData function returns only the data set with setElementData.
Given that the wiki states width, depth and height as the attributes used in map files I'd say that are the names of the values you are looking for.

DX drawings return no element, so you have to use variables and then change these when needed.

[Yazir]

expBar = dxDrawRectangle(screenW * 0.8562, screenH * 0.1731, screenW * 0.0906, screenH * 0.0139, tocolor(194, 129, 26, 255), true)

So this won't work if it is as you say. I can set  width to a variable then change the variable to change bar and it will update dynamically?

Oh, I'm sorry I was so dumb. I see how it works now.
