IsElement
From Multi Theft Auto: Wiki
This function checks if a value is an element or not.
Note: This function is not reliable as element ids are eventually recycled. Always make sure you nil variables containing an element after calling destroyElement or handle onElementDestroy for players and elements that might be destroyed by another resource |
Syntax
bool isElement ( var theValue )
Required Arguments
- theValue: The value that we want to check.
