Problem with exp gain and leveling up

[Ohk4y]

I have an issue with leveling up in my script. When you kill a player it adds exp to you account with a script:

PHP Code:

findplayer(player.account).clientr.exp += int(random(5, 11)); 


I'm trying to get it to level a player up depending on the amount of exp they have. For example;
Level 1 = 0 exp - 199 exp
Level 2 = 200 exp - 399 exp
Level 3 = 400 exp - 799 exp

How could I get it to change the level of the player, which is stored as clientr.level, when the player has anywhere between two numbers with out listing everything out like

PHP Code:

this.level1 = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}; 


Thanks.

Something like this?

PHP Code:

public function addExperience(temp.amount)
{
  temp.experienceTable = {
    0,   //Level 1
    100, //Level 2
    300, //Level 3
    600, //Level 4
    1000 //Level 5
  };
  
  this.clientr.rpg_experience += temp.amount;
  
  temp.newLevel = -1;
  for (temp.i = temp.experienceTable.size() - 1; temp.i >= 0; --temp.i)
  {
    if (temp.experienceTable[temp.i] <= this.clientr.rpg_experience)
    {
      temp.newLevel = temp.i + 1;
      break;
    }
  }
  
  assert(temp.newLevel != -1);
  
  if (temp.newLevel != this.clientr.rpg_level)
  {
    this.clientr.rpg_level = temp.newLevel;
    this.trigger("onLevelUp");
  }
} 


Sorry for just posting code; I'm not sure how to describe it in English.

This is a very common script.

Here's my bare-bones for an EXP system:

Class: expfunctions

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  // Check if EXP Level is 0
  if (clientr.explevel == 0) {
    // Initialize Player EXP Level and EXP Needed
    levelUp();
  }
}

public function addEXP(amount) {
  // Increment EXP by Amount
  clientr.exp += amount;
  checkEXP();
}

function checkEXP() {
  // Calculate EXP Needed
  temp.needed = getEXPNeeded();
  // Check if EXP Needed Matches Clientr EXP Needed Flag
  if (clientr.expneeded != temp.needed) {
    // Update Clientr Flag
    clientr.expneeded = temp.needed;
  }
  // Check if EXP is Greater than or Equal to EXP Needed
  if (clientr.exp >= temp.needed) {
    levelUp();
  }
}

function getEXPNeeded() {
  // Calculate Amount of EXP Needed for Level
  temp.needed = (clientr.explevel * 200);
  return temp.needed;
}

public function levelUp() {
  // Set EXP to 0
  clientr.exp = 0;
  // Increase Level
  clientr.explevel++;
  // Update EXP Needed for New Level
  clientr.expneeded = getEXPNeeded();
} 


In your onActionPlayerOnline() function in Control-NPC add:

PHP Code:

// other code...
function onActionPlayerOnline() {
  // other code...
  player.join("expfunctions");
  // other code...
}
// other code... 


In your other scripts you can now add exp like this:

player.addEXP(int(random(0, 100)));

Then on the client-side you can use clientr.exp, clientr.explevel, and clientr.expneeded to display on your GUIs.

Also regarding your use of:

findplayer(player.account)

If you have access to the player's account like that just use:

player

instead.

Is 'random' (0,100) the range of numbers from 0-100? I can't find any documentation on this!

Yes, it will never equal the maximum though.

int(random(0,100)) - int 'floors' the value which means it will always return a number >= 0 and <= 99.

Okay, Thanks guys for the help! All is working now.
