(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); as topic title suggest what are differences between destroy() & destroyElem()

I believe destroy can destroy entities, while other one cannot

I am interested in this as well.

DestroyElem is present in the HUD utility and uses a more advanced loop to traverse through elements of an object and clears all components, whereas Destroy is the most basic HUD deletion method, defined in CSC.

This is the code for DestroyElem

    destroyelem()

{

	tempchildren = [];

	index = 0;

	while ( index < self.children.size )

	{

		if ( isDefined( self.children[ index ] ) )

		{

			tempchildren[ tempchildren.size ] = self.children[ index ];

		}

		index++;

	}

	index = 0;

	while ( index < tempchildren.size )

	{

		tempchildren[ index ] setparent( self getparent() );

		index++;

	}

	if ( self.elemtype == "bar" || self.elemtype == "bar_shader" )

	{

		self.bar destroy();

		self.barframe destroy();

	}

	self destroy();

}

ahh thanks man i had a feeling thats what it kinda did

so basically if i was to create a text or shader

    self.openmenu = createText("default", 1.5, "Open The Menu", "center", "center", -620, 217, 2, false, 1, (1, 1, 1), 0, (0, 0, 0));

then later self.openmenu destroy();

it only destroys the text/ or shader itself but not its color/glow/alpha properties with it

so if i was to do this after destroy(); the text

    

self.openmenu setText("Open The Menu"); 

it would still have all the original color/glow/alpha properties it had before hand?

That is my interpretation.
