Help with level up system (I'm new to scripting)

[Mykole11@gmail.com]

ok I followed piefwolf's scripting for level up system, works great! But I can't keep the stats after I die, continue, or quit. Another thing I want to do is increase offense and defense when I level up, how do I do that? If anyone could help me that would be great!

And how do I make it so that when I level up, it's says "level up" on top of my character?
And how do I  put the current Level # under my MP

If you take the scripts from the ver.2.0 of my mod, you can see that it keeps the statistic after you die.
also, for the level up on top of the char, you have to make a spawn animation. just look in the data/chars/misc/levelup folder.

Thanks man! I got stats to work the way I wanted but can you go into more detail about
how to make the spawn animation work?

"for the level up on top of the char, you have to make a spawn animation. just look in the data/chars/misc/levelup folder."

I found the folder but I don't know how to use it or how to make it work, is there more scripting involved?

[Pierwolf]

Yes of course there is a lot of scripting involved.

the level up spawn is called in lvup.c, on the line:

Code: [Select]

void spawnLvup(void ent)
{
clearspawnentry();
setspawnentry("name", "levelup");
void vSpawn=spawn();
float fX =getentityproperty(ent, "x");
float fY = getentityproperty(ent, "a");
float fZ = getentityproperty(ent, "z");
changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "position", fX, fZ, fY + 70);
}

you have to play with this in order to make it work.

to put the current level # wherever you want, you have to play with lvupsc.c and player.c, specifically at the lines:

Code: [Select]

void set()
{
void pindex = getentityproperty(getlocalvar("self"),"playerindex");
void score = getplayerproperty(pindex,"score");
int lv = getLevel(score);
setAbi(pindex,getlocalvar("self"));
settextobj(pindex,69+120*pindex, 253, 0, 1, "LVL"+lv);
}


scripting is a pain actually, and i too am still a total noob at it; you are a new member,  i suggest you first to learn how basic openbor works, before approaching scripts!

Hey, I got the "level up" txt to work, it shows up on the top right of the screen.
I figured out how to move it up and down, the top right of the screen is good for me tho.
Now if only I could get the Level # to show up under my MP bar.
