I know that the parts array works in element update functions. But I need to use it in the graphics update function (not normal element update function). I need my PLSM to have a certain color glow ONLY when it was produced by burning a certain element. I've made it so BMTL burns with PLSM and sets the PLSM ctype to PT_BMTL, but now I need the plasma's graphics update function to handle the element properties (the ctype property to be specific) so it can produce a certain color of PLSM only when that PLSM is the result of burning the BMTL.

I really need to know how to import the element update function variables (such as ctype) for PLSM into the graphics update function for PLSM.
