    Is there a way to find out the currently selected elements through lua? i have searched through the forum and wiki and i couldn't find anything about this.

    tpt.selectedl for the left selected,

    tpt.selectedr for the right selected,

    tpt.selecteda for the alternate selected and

    tpt.selectedreplace for the replece mode selected.

    They are values, not functions so you can get/set them directly.

    thanks so much.

     

    edit and note: elements[tpt.selectedl] will give you the element id for the left mouse selected element. found this out while experimenting.
