Need help with XP script

[The Unmaker]

I am trying to put together an XP system for a mod i'm making and when i use puke to increase my XP it changes the level as well

Here is my script:

Code: Select all

// XP Scripts
global int 0:level;
global int 0:XP;
// XP Add Script
script 256 (int ADDXP)
{
log(s:"You Gained ", i:ADDXP, s:"!");
XP += ADDXP;
}

// LevelUp Script
script 257 enter
{
if(level < 100)
{
if(XP > level*level)
{
level++;
print(s:"You Are Now At Level ", i:level, s:"!");
}
}
else if(level == 100)
{
SetFont("BigFont");
print(s:"Congrantulations!\nYou are at the final level!");
SetFont("SMALLFONT");
}
delay(35);
restart;
}

// HUD Script
Script 258 enter
{
HudMessage(s:"Player ID: ", i:PlayerNumber(), s:"\nLevel: ", i:level, s:"\nXP: ", i:XP, s:"\nXP To next level: ", i:level*level; HUDMSG_PLAIN, 1, 3, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
delay(1);
restart;
}

script 259 (void)
{
print(i:XP);
}

Um.. That's because that's the way you coded it.

level starts at 0, since you don't initialize it otherwise. 0 * 0 = 0, so any XP at all will level the player to level 1. Level 1's cap is an enormous 1 * 1 = 1 XP. So at 2 XP, they hit level 2. At 5 XP, they hit level 3. At 10 XP, they hit level 4. Etc...

no...
when i use puke 256 the xp and level are the SAME
i.e.
if i use puke 256 70 the level becomes 70
and if i do that again it become 140 and by the level up rules that i have set it cannot do that

do you want a test wad?

I just figured it out!

Global vars are referenced by number not name.

Thanks to randy for explaining it on this thread:http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=17202

Expect the come back of The RPG!

When you have some screenshots to show and a full description of what the finished product should be.

Basically the idea is to drum up interest from the community in your project. If all you have is a vague idea, most people won't be impressed.
