Increasing a player's credits

Post by byronarn »

I'm sure there is a method for increasing a player's credits (at the end of a successful mission, for example), but I can't find the function that does it on the wiki. Maybe I am just overlooking it. Can anyone help?

Shouldn't that be:

Code: Select all

player.credits = player.credits + 100000000;
?

:lol: True. The question was to increase, not set. I'll do better next time :).

I was looking on that page but I guess I overlooked it. Guess I thought there would be a player.increaseCredits(1000) or something like that. But player.credits=player.credits+1000 makes sense, too.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I apreciate your help. :D

Does the += operator work in Oolite javascript? For example,

Code: Select all

player.credits+=1000;
I know it works in a lot of languages. Regular javascript even has, i do believe. So what about Oolite Javascript?

Yes. Things like player.credits++ or ++player.credits work as well.
