Have you tried adding a killed eventhandler to the radio tower? If you add a killed eventhandler to the player it will execute only when the player is dead. The way you use that eventhandler it will add 50 score to itself if its killed. I think the killer is select 1 but you can check it in the wikipedia.

i have tried putting the command on the radio tower with no luck but thank you for your input

Zoom in on the radiotower in the editor.

Place a game logic on the radio tower and in the init put the following:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

(getpos this nearestobject objectIDhere) addeventhandler ["Killed",{(_this select 1) addscore 50}]

Just replace "objectIDhere" with the ID you see on the radio tower.

Keep in mind that addScore only does something in Multi-Player.

For Single-Player games you have to use addRating.

Hmm, thats good to know. so for my singleplayer map do i put

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

MinRating=0

AvgRating=1000

MaxRating=2000

in my description.ext or do i leave it as

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

MinScore = 0;

AvgScore = 1000;

MaxScore = 2000;

but change all the addscore to addrating?

I dont know what type of mission you are making but since you get much more rating than score for killing stuff I suggest multiplying all numbers by 100-1000.

ok that code works fine until i start hosting the game

the only person to get points for destroying a target is me, so when some one else destroys the target they don't get any points,

When i host the game on a game server no one gets points when the target is destroyed

im trying to figure this out myself as im part of the same group as mrt

to refresh what we have tried is all the obove but when we host the map to test only the player hosting gets the score if he blows up taget, if any other player tries they get no score,

we figured this was a glitch due to not being hosted on a dedicated server,

on hosting on a dedicated server no player at all gets any score

what we are tring to create is a multiplayer pvp A&D map with a number of targets that will give players a individual score for blowing the targets .ie player 1 blows radio tower 1 he gets 10 points ,player 2 blows radio tower 3 he gets 10 points, ect ect ,

any help would be greatly apreciated

ok to try an explain this a bit better, i have placed a radio tower on the map and place a gamelogic ontop with the name obj1 and in the initialisation box put

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">(position obj1 nearestobject "Land_Vysilac_FM") addeventhandler ["Killed",{(_this select 1) addscore 50;}

this code only seem to award points if the person hosting the game destroys the radio tower

i have also tried using a trigger with the code in the activation section with no luck

can any please help cos this driving me crazy

i worked out why it was only working for the host, the target which was a radio tower was a target i put in and for some reason when the script was run the clients wouldn't recognise that that radio tower was the closest
