The easiest way, like you mentioned above, is only record the level of a player in global variable list.

For example, setglobalvar("Fighter.level", 3)

And make a function which adjust character properties based on this level and call this function when necessary (level up, respawn, etc).

It can be complicated at the beginning since you have to do a lot of calculation, but once it's done, it is done.

How does this maxhealth work ? I been using another script that looks for maxhealth but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to set maxhealth for ents. Just adding maxhealth in the header is  not understood by engine, what's the right way to set it ?

(Trying to eventually add health bonus items using this)

[Bloodbane]

 Example on how to set maxhealth and health:

changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "maxhealth", 200); //Set maximum health to 200
   changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "health", 100); //Set health to 100

 This example show that just because maximum health is set, doesn't mean current health should be same.

So it's just scriptside? in your thug.c script It has

getentityproperty(self,"maxhealth"); // Get caller's maximum health.

So i thought it could be declared in an entity header or something...

 In thug.c script, the idea is random thug spawner spawns random enemy in level while the spawner removes itself after that.

 I added feature to copy the spawner's HP to spawned enemy so modders could control the latter in level text.

 Back to your question, you can give any value when altering entity property such as maximum health. In this thug.c, I copied spawner's HP and max HP for that purpose.

So i thought it could be declared in an entity header or something...

 I don't understand this

[BeasTie]

Just meant I thought I was supposed to do something like this in the enemies it was spawning.

Code: [Select]

name    someguy
type    enemy
health    100
maxhealth 200

Edit: Thanks for for the explanation of that script.

[Bloodbane]

 We don't have anything for that unfortunately. I believe it's assumed that every spawned entity starts with full health.
 Same goes with MP too.

Cool thanks Bloodbane, I think originally my problem was I diddn't realise enemies were copying HP from the spawner's HP as you said so I thought they were using the maxhealth property somehow when I had them spawn with too much health.

Sorry for clogging up the thread.
