GetCredits(player)
Returns
Number of credits if hub contact was successful, null otherwise.
Args
player: a mob, client, key, or ckey
Retrieves the number of available credits in a player’s account. This feature is intended for games that make use of the credit system, and for security all such games must use a hub password.
This proc will return null if there was no way to reach the hub. Use isnull() to check for a null value. Contacting the hub may take a few moments, so it is a good idea to use spawn() to avoid holding up the rest of the game.
The best time to call this proc is before a player does something that would allow them to spend credits, and/or just afterward, so they can see what is left in their account.
Danger
You can specify a different hub path and hub_password by adding these as extra arguments, but this is not recommended for security reasons. If you use this feature, it should only be on games that cannot be downloaded by the public.
