... that I'm not experienced enough to write [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]

I need a cog that gives any player 5 points everytime they enter a specific sector.

Your help is greatly appreciated [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

sector sector4
sector sector5

1) 'Code' does NOT need a colon.
2) In MP, 'Getlocalplayerthing()' does NOT return the local player. It returns the host. Use 'Getsenderref()' under 'Newplayer' instead.
3) You point assignment was screwed up.
4) This is all elemental, because these points will dissappear once the player dies/kills someone.
5) Download Parsec. It caught most of these errors.

Code: 
#cog script
#eter add points

#[SCR], fixed by GBK for Pele's sake.

Newplayer:
player = Getsenderref();
return;

entered:
Setplayerscore(player, Getplayerscore(Player) + 5);
return;

Wow, thanks for the help fellas [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif] I really appreciate your help and will give credit.

I have one other slight request though... I need this cog to work with MP, and the points need to be fixed so they don't disapear when you die. Thanks again!

This is the last cog I need for my level to work, which I'll be releasing hopefully today [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

If this is so then why is the player set to GetLocalPlayerThing() in the startup message of the force power cogs?

As I remember, GetLocalPlayerThing() works fine in the multiplayer.

Right. So if you're still using JK's scoring system, you'll need to use:

Code: 
SetPlayerKills(player, GetPlayerKills(player) + 5);
