LOL well here we go im trying to add an extra life after so many kills that parts working fine the lives bit isnt :/ its adding 470 odd lives not 1

ive tried

SetPlayerLives(e,g_PlayerLives+1) and then after it gave me half a million i tried to set the lives to a number using

SetPlayerLives(e,5) and that did pretty much the same. can anyone tell me whats wrong here plz?

i could add it to an entity when you kill a boss but i kinda liked the idea of a kill count reward

Edit: ok found a workaround in the global you dont need the e in SetPlayerLives(e,5)

Intel i5 4950 Quad core 3.3ghz AMD FX 6300 x6 cores 3.5ghz(unclocked)
8gb Ram 8gb Ram
AMD Radeon 7570 1gb AMD Radeon HD 6670 2gb
and a well fed mouse on a wheel

I only smile because i have absolutely no idea whats going on

Get rid of the e. It's SetPlayerLives(v) so if you wanted to add one it should be SetPlayerLives(g_PlayerLives+1) i think

If you don't tell it to stop then it won't and would keep going you need to have something to make it run once like

If kills <= 10 and killreward == 0 then
setplayerlives(g_playerlives + 1)
killreward = 1
end

This will make sure it only runs the setplayerlives command once and doesn't repeat by using the variable killreward.

NOTE: there will be errors in that above as I typed it on my phone so dont copy paste Into a script
