Lua Why doesn't this work?

[Wat]

I'm trying to make it so when a player uses an item, he gets +2x EXP.

I've mashed some code together with some stuff I found on here, and it's not working.

local expitem = 9969
local extrarate = 7

function onUse(cid, item)
            setPlayerExtraExpRate(cid, extrarate)
            doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,19, 'Your EXP rate is now ' .. rate .. '!')
end

When I comment out

  setPlayerExtraExpRate(cid, extrarate)

In actions.xml:

	<action itemid="9969" script="other/expring.lua"/>

It sends the message just fine, but not when it's uncommented D:

Help :O

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
setPlayerExtraExpRate(cid, 7)
doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,19, 'Your EXP rate is now 7!')
        return TRUE
end

local extrarate = 7

function onUse(cid, item)
            setPlayerExtraExpRate(cid, extrarate)
            doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,19, 'Your EXP rate is now ' .. extrarate .. '!')
end

You didnt type right extrarate.

Why are you using extra exp rate when you stated that you want an amount of 2,000 experience points to be added to the player? o_o

local config = {
     experience = 2000
}

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
     doPlayerAddExp(cid, config.experience)
     doSendAnimatedText(getCreaturePosition(cid), config.experience, TEXTCOLOR_WHITE)
     return TRUE
end

I meant +2x exp rate >_>

Then use macromans ones and instead of doPlayerAddExperience add setPlayerExtraExpRate(cid, 2)
