Needed Formula for Exp / Level Gain

[Ohk4y]

Hey guys, i'm here with another question.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
What would be a good formula to substitute for all of this repetition:

PHP Code:

    if (clientr.exp == 200) {
      clientr.explevel = 2;
      clientr.exp = 1;
      clientr.expneeded = 199;
    }
    if (clientr.exp = 400) {
      clientr.explevel = 3;
      clientr.exp = 1;
      clientr.expneeded = 399;
    }
    if (clientr.exp = 800) {
      clientr.explevel = 4;
      clientr.exp = 1;
      clientr.expneeded = 799;
    }
    if (clientr.exp = 1600) {
      clientr.explevel = 5;
      clientr.exp = 1;
      clientr.expneeded = 1599;
    }
    if (clientr.exp = 3200) {
      clientr.explevel = 6;
      clientr.exp = 1;
      clientr.expneeded = 3199;
    }
    if (clientr.exp = 6400) {
      clientr.explevel = 7;
      clientr.exp = 1;
      clientr.expneeded = 6399;
    }
    if (clientr.exp = 12800) {
      clientr.explevel = 8;
      clientr.exp = 1;
      clientr.expneeded = 12799;
    } 


Thanks in advance!

temp.needed = (2 ^ clientr.explevel) * 100;

How would I implent that?

[fowlplay4]

If you are using my EXP Barebones then all you need to do is replace the temp.needed line in the getEXPNeeded function.

PHP Code:

if ( clientr.exp => temp.needed ) {
  // stuff
} 


I would imagine.

[Ohk4y]

Okay, I replaced it and it is working now, thanks again fowlplay4!

[Ohk4y]

Wait, Nevermind. It just about killed my hud that displays all of the information..

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 = (2 ^ clientr.explevel) * 100;
  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(); 
} 


weapon : -System/LevelUp

PHP Code:


function onActionServerSide(cmd) {
  if (cmd == "LevelUp") {
    if (clientr.exp == null) {
      clientr.exp = 1;
    }
    if (clientr.explevel == null) {
      clientr.explevel = 1;
    }
    if (clientr.expneeded == null) {
      clientr.expneeded = 199;    
    }
    if ( clientr.exp => temp.needed ) { 
      temp.needed = (2 ^ clientr.explevel) * 100;
    }  
  }
}

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() onTimeOut();
function onTimeOut() {
triggerserver("gui", name, "LevelUp");
setTimer(.05);
}

You don't need that system at all, and all your system is doing is spamming the server with triggers for no reason...

Everything is taken care of in the player-joined expfunctions class.

All you have to do in other systems is call the player's addEXP function.

Show me what script you have in your onActionPlayerOnline function in your Control-NPC, because I have a feeling you might not even be using it correctly.

[Ohk4y]

PHP Code:

function onActionPlayerOnline() {
  //list of other weapons I had but chose not to include in this post :p
  player.join("expfunctions"); 

    showStats(0x400+0x200+0x100);
  EnableFeatures(AllFeatures - 4);    
  echo("Esteria (Server): "@player.communityname@" has logged in!");
  }

 /* if (this.accounts.index(player.account)==-1) 
  {
    this.accounts.add(player.account);
    sendtorc("/reset "@ player.account);
  } */

showStats and enableFeatures are both clientside-only, they shouldn't be in onActionPlayerOnline.

I didn't add them there, though I will remove them, thank you.

[fowlplay4]

Alright now in other scripts you just have to call:

player.addEXP(100); or findplayer("Ohk4y").addEXP(100);

To add experience to yourself, expfunctions then internally checks to see if you gained enough EXP to level up. The class is flexible enough so you don't have to reset EXP if you change your EXP Needed formula.

It also initializes the player to level 1 if they haven't logged in before (or if their level is 0).

You can also call:

player.levelUp(); if you just want to directly level yourself.
