pay issue

givePlayerMoney (person, math.abs(tonumber(amount)))

It workd before i did checks but i died like a million times when my friends and random people got on my server and killed me. So then i lost tons of money for hospital bills. So i had -$0011890 then someone pays me 5$ , I then have -$0011895 when i should of had -$0011885. Not sure how to prevent that.

So right now the code does not work and if it did it would allow people who are negative to keep going negative with they get paid positive.

function pay(Player, command, who, amount)
local person = getPlayerFromName ( who )
local playerMoney = getPlayerMoney (Player)
if ( playerMoney >= tonumber (amount)) and (tonumber (amount) > 0) then
         givePlayerMoney (person, math.abs(tonumber(amount)))
	  takePlayerMoney (Player, math.abs(tonumber(amount)))
         outputChatBox ( tostring (amount) .. "$ has been paid to " .. who, Player, 255, 0, 0, false)
       else
         outputChatBox ("You cannot pay more money than you have!", Player, 255, 0, 0, false)
   end
addCommandHandler ("pay", pay)

Also does MTA care about upper and lowercase on a Linux server?

You are missing an end before addCommandHandler.

Okay. How can i fix it so if i had -1000 and i get paid $5 i then have -1005 but i should have -995?

Show me your givePlayerMoney (person, math.abs(tonumber(amount))) script please.

[Kevin_Linden]

There is the script.

function pay(Player, command, who, amount)
  local person = getPlayerFromName ( who )
  local playerMoney = getPlayerMoney (Player)
  if ( playerMoney >= tonumber (amount)) and (tonumber (amount) > 0) then
         givePlayerMoney (person, math.abs(tonumber(amount)))
       takePlayerMoney (Player, math.abs(tonumber(amount)))
         outputChatBox ( tostring (amount) .. "$ has been paid to " .. who, Player, 255, 0, 0, false)
       else
         outputChatBox ("You cannot pay more money than you have!", Player, 255, 0, 0, false)
   end
end
addCommandHandler ("pay", pay)

i think he emans that math.abs is unneded, what was the reason you puted it there?

btw heres fix:

function pay(Player, command, who, amount)
local person = getPlayerFromName ( who )
local playerMoney = getPlayerMoney (Player)
if ( playerMoney >= tonumber (amount)) and (tonumber (amount) > 0) then
if getPlayerMoney (Player) >= 0 then
givePlayerMoney (person, tonumber(amount))
else
takePlayerMoney (person, tonumber(amount))
end
takePlayerMoney (Player, tonumber(amount))
outputChatBox ( tostring (amount) .. "$ has been paid to " .. who, Player, 255, 0, 0, false)
else
outputChatBox ("You cannot pay more money than you have!", Player, 255, 0, 0, false)
end
end
addCommandHandler ("pay", pay)
