money scripting

[Vercetti1010]

k, here is the situation. i need some help on making a script that sets a players money to x amount when he spawns. ive been around the forums and the example scripts dont work. yes, i put it at the end of broph. please give me information that a person new to lua would understand, dont just give me a link to the wiki. oh one more note, id rather this be a separate script so we dont have to rely on broph.

Make a folder in C:\Program Files\MTA San Andreas\server\mods\deathmatch\resources\

call it "joinmoney" (or whatever)

Open up a text editor and put this.

You can change the 10000 to whatever amount to whatever you want.

  
function consoleMoneyOnJoin ( )      
    givePlayerMoney ( source, 10000 ) 
    outputChatBox ("There's $10k for you!", source, 255, 255, 0, true ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), consoleMoneyOnJoin ) 
  

save it as money.lua

now create a file called meta.xml and put this in it.

  

"Yourname" description="Description" type="server" /> 

Place these two files in the moneyj folder and done, now you just do /start moneyj to get it to work.

MAybe you could also add it in the mta server config file to start automatically when the server starts.
