GetElementDimension
From Multi Theft Auto: Wiki
This function allows you to retrieve the dimension of any element. The dimension determines what/who the element is visible to.
Syntax
int getElementDimension ( element theElement )
OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!
- Method: element:getDimension(...)
- Variable: .dimension
- Counterpart: setElementDimension
Required Arguments
- theElement: The element in which you'd like to retrieve the dimension of.
Returns
Returns an integer for the dimension if theElement is valid, false otherwise.
Example
This example puts all vehicles with drivers in dimension 1, while all other vehicles are in dimension 0. This would have the effect of making on-foot players invisible to drivers, and vice versa. It'd also make entering a vehicle as passenger after the driver has entered impossible, as the vehicle would appear to vanish to any on foot players.
