			groveteamscore = groveteamscore + 1 --Grove gets 1 point
			textItemSetText ( scoregrove, tostring(groveteamscore) ) --Update scoreboard. Use tostring() to change the varible to a string to satisfy the function.
		elseif (players[getClientName(killer)].gang == "balla") then --If a player killed this person and they are part of the balla gang
