GetPlayerPerkPoints

The perk points a stat, a skill or the main level has not spent yet.

Every stat and skill holds the perk points the game gave it and the player has not spent yet. The name mainlevel is the main level’s pool: the points that belong to no stat or skill. They are the player’s game’s own counts, as it last reported them or the mode last set them (SetPlayerPerkPoints). 0 means none - or that the server does not know yet: the player’s game has not reported, or the name is neither a stat nor a skill.

Syntax

GetPlayerPerkPoints(pid, name)

Parameter	Type
pid	number	the player
name	string	a stat’s or skill’s name, or mainlevel for the pool

Returns

number - 0 .. 999; 0 = none, or not known (not reported yet, an unknown name, or a player not connected)

Example

-- what the trainer can tell the player
local function perk_points_line(pid, skill)
  local points = GetPlayerPerkPoints(pid, skill)
  if points == 0 then return "You have no perk points in " .. skill .. "." end
  return string.format("You have %d perk point%s to spend in %s.", points, points == 1 and "" or "s", skill)
end
SendClientMessage(pid, COLOR_WHITE, perk_points_line(pid, "weapon_sword"))
