scripts I have problems with my scripts

[Xwaw]

local g = 0

function giveGold()
	local g = g+1
end

addCommandHandler("giveG", giveGold)

function showGold(source)
	outputChatBox(tostring(g), 255, 255, 0)
end

addCommandHandler("showG", showGold)

I mean, I want the "showG" command to show the Player amount of gold, and the "giveG" command wants it to add the Player amount of gold. It is on the client side.

PLS HELP

So explain what doesn't work in here?

In line 4 don't use local, because you want to change the global g variable's value.

Now, you change g only inside giveGold function's scope, what has no effect on the global g variable in the first line.
