(Redirected from Element.setData)

Method Server and Client icon-iii.png icon-vc.png icon-sa.png icon-iv.png 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.

Types

Shared Blip
Shared Building
Shared Element
Shared Entity

Shared Object
Shared Ped

Notes

  • The third arg (syncWithClients) is not available client side.
