I don't understand what do you mean.

If I'm right, getPlayerRank is a exported function from race, if so, then you must use it like this:

exports[ "race" ]:getPlayerRank ( thePlayer ) 

[jeremaniak]

so is this possible

if exports[ "race" ]:getPlayerRank ( thePlayer )== 1 then 

? i dont know how to get the rank and if the rank = a value then give the money

[Castillo]

I guess so, it should work.

P.S: You must define 'thePlayer' of course.

on wich event should i use it?

[Castillo]

I have no idea, I don't even know what are you trying to do.

A race map or a DD/DM?

[jeremaniak]

DM/DD otherwise i would use onPlayerFinish

[Castillo]

You should add a custom event using triggerEvent on: "race/modes/destructionderby.lua" at function: "handleFinishActivePlayer"

After it says:

showMessage 

You add:

triggerEvent ( "onPlayerDestructionDerbyWin", activePlayers [ 1 ] ) 

Then you can use this custom event.

So how to make it for the 2nd place and third ?

Btw thanks already!!!!
