This example script creates a new console command that displays all element data that is currently set on the player who enters the command.

function getMyData ( thePlayer, command )
    local data = getAllElementData ( thePlayer )     -- get all the element data of the player who entered the command
    for k, v in pairs ( data ) do                    -- loop through the table that was returned
