element.setData

Method Server and Client Online and Offline

Available since Server 1.0.0, Client 1.0.0

void element.setData(string dataName, var theData, bool syncWithClientsNow)

The element.setData method is used to set a value for an element, referenced by a key.

The data will be sent to all clients when streaming in, so do not use element.setData() to store sensitive data like passwords.

Parameters

1)	string	dataName	The string name of the data for the element.
2)	var	theData	The data for the element, which is referenced by dataName.
3)	bool	syncWithClientsNow	Whether the data is sent to clients immediately. Note that all element data will be sent to a client when the element streams in. This argument only applies when the method is used server-side.

Return

void	This method doesn't return a value.

Notes
