## Community notes

As this command will add the given number to a player's score, a little bit of thought needs to be given to friendly-fire if it is for something like a deathmatch or a FFA, due to friendly-fire incurring negative points.
So to counter this just add 2 points every time a player kills a unit from the same side:

```sqf
player addPlayerScores [2, 0, 0, 0, 0];
```

The 2 points will add 1 point to counter the negative friendly-fire point and 1 point to add correctly to the score.
