wtf?

this is just random words.

You are another guy that thinks if you put some random parts from wiki together - it will be working like you want o_O.

Get back to Scripting tutorial - spend a week on trying to understand it all..

i see in wiki that you can you rank if you use the event: onPlayerFinish, but there is not a finish in DD/DM

[dzek (varez)]

sure, you can use onPlayerWasted, but .. this script is just totally wrong!

  
function saveondie(rank,source) -- [b]wtf is this? check arguments list: [url=https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/OnPlayerWasted]https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/OnPlayerWasted[/url] | also DONT EVEN THINK OF NAMING ANYTHING "source". source is internal variable, and you should only read it![/b] 
    outputChatBox(getPlayerName(source).." Rank: "..tostring(rank),getRootElement(),0,255,0) -- [b]and few totall randomness. where you got that rank? you never set it, well, you script do NOTHING[/b] 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted",getRootElement(),saveondie)

Oh, yes your right sorry i'm not very smart with LUA

function saveondie(ammo, attacker, weapon, bodypart) 
    outputChatBox(getPlayerName(source).." Rank: "..tostring(rank),getRootElement(),0,255,0) -- If you're lost then there will be shown what your rank (first, second, etc.) for the test, later i wanna save it on account data 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted",getRootElement(),saveondie) 

i hope this is better

oh yes what is nou de source?

[dzek (varez)]

source is player that died (wiki page says it).

its better, but rank is not existing
