I tried:

self:GetScore()
if self.score > 10 then
...

if you look at the playerdata that is sent to the scoreboard, you will see things like playerscore, kiills, deaths etc. This playerrecord data is what you can use to do things with. Remember though, use the source data, not the scoreboard end, as that only works on client, and you need to be on the server to unlock things.

Look at ScoringMixin ( http://ns2docs.bplaced.net/ns2docs/tables/ScoringMixin/index.html ) As long as you make sure via HasMixin() that your target has it you can call GetScore() just fine.

Seems like in your case self doesnt has that mixin and is therfor not a player.

Thx for the quick respond, will test it out now

So far no success... I tried to implement it in the "PointGiverMixin.lua":

function PointGiverMixin:OnUpdatePlayer(deltaTime)   

		//periodically award points in survival phase
    if self:isa("Player") and surviviorGamePhase 
			and surviviorGamePhase == kSurvivorGamePhase.Survival 
			and self:GetTeamNumber() == kTeam1Index then

			self.lastTimeSurvivalPointsGiven = self.lastTimeSurvivalPointsGiven or Shared.GetTime()
			if self.lastTimeSurvivalPointsGiven + kSurvivalSecondsPerPoint < Shared.GetTime() then
				if HasMixin(self, "Scoring") then
				  //TODO: replace w/ config value
				  self:AddScore(1,0,false)
				  self.lastTimeSurvivalPointsGiven = Shared.GetTime()
				  
				  score = player:GetScore(),
				  if player and HasMixin(self, "Scoring") and score then
				  if score > 5 then
				   self:GiveItem(Welder.kMapName)
				   
				   end
				   
			    end
			    
			  end
			  
		  end

	  end

  end

end

but nothing happens...

Typo:

score = player:GetScore(), (the coma)

also better design it as local

I ve decided to make a new function out of it but still there is something wrong...

function ItemUnlocker()
  
  local score = player:GetScore()
  if self:isa("Player") and self:GetTeamNumber() == kTeam1Index then
    if HasMixin(self, "Scoring") and score > 5 then
    
    self:GiveItem(Welder.kMapName)
    
    end
    
  end
  
  function PointGiverMixin:OnUpdatePlayer(deltaTime)  
    
		//periodically award points in survival phase
    if self:isa("Player") and surviviorGamePhase 
			and surviviorGamePhase == kSurvivorGamePhase.Survival 
			and self:GetTeamNumber() == kTeam1Index then

			self.lastTimeSurvivalPointsGiven = self.lastTimeSurvivalPointsGiven or Shared.GetTime()
			if self.lastTimeSurvivalPointsGiven + kSurvivalSecondsPerPoint < Shared.GetTime() then
				if HasMixin(self, "Scoring") then
				  //TODO: replace w/ config value
				  self:AddScore(1,0,false)
				  self.lastTimeSurvivalPointsGiven = Shared.GetTime()
				  ItemUnlocker()
				  
			    
			  end
			  
		  end

	  end

  end

end

function ItemUnlocker()
  
  local score = player:GetScore()
  if self:isa("Player") and self:GetTeamNumber() == kTeam1Index then
    if HasMixin(self, "Scoring") and score > 5 then
    
    self:GiveItem(Welder.kMapName)
    
    end
    
  end

Where should that function get "self" and "player" from? Those vars are nowhere declared as locals or globals for that function.

Hmm yeah youre right, was just trying to call the player(marine) entity but I just dont know how exactly
