Adding points

[jdf318]

Hey, would it be possible to make a script, where once someone is killed by another player, it adds a "point" to the player? I would need these points to be used with a custom menu, and when the player selects an option, it takes away the point and allows them to advance. A couple of questions (besides the one above) :P

1\. Would i need the points to be items in the inventory (id rather them not, but I believe not making them items would involve the source code)

2\. would i need the source code to make them not items?

3\. How would i go about doing this (I don't want a code, just some instruction on the general way of accomplishing this)

and, 4\. If they were items, could i insert them directly into a players inventory so players couldn't rob points.

Thanks in advance

use .ini's, and the getvar and putvar scripting commands, and modify the pvp death sub to give the points to the (attacker)

are you talking about the points for making stats go up?
just in the pvp death sub setplayerpoints(index, getplayerpoints(index)+1)

thanks DrNova (even if i hate .inis, putar, and getvar, though i knew i would have to use them :P), and i meant points for special classes,not skill points Shadowwulf. Though i never even knew about the pvp death sub.. (must of skipped over it)

why do you hate putvars, they are easy

PutVar("File.ini", Header (You could use getplayername(index) to make a header for each player), "Variable Name", Value you want stored in Variable Name)

GetVar is the same as putvar, except you don't give the value of the Variable

You could go

Dim x
x = GetVar("File.ini", getplayername(index), "Variable Name")

I love inis…

I'm an .INI whore
