Client

bool givePlayerMoney ( int amount )

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Method: Player.giveMoney(...)

Required Arguments

• amount: a positive integer number specifying the amount of money to give to the player.

Returns

Returns true if the money was added, or false if invalid parameters were passed.

Remarks

As of MTA SA version 1.5.9, despite the documentation claiming that amount should be a positive integer, this function does work with negative values or zero. In that case the function does still add the number to the game money value, in the negative case resulting in a decreased value.
