Custom Level system?

[manstie]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew how to make a custom leveling system?
I have a variable with the exp of something and it goes:
Lvl 1: 100
Lvl 2: 210
Lvl 3: 330
Lvl 4: 460
Lvl 5: 600
etc...

What would be the best/easiest/most efficiant way to make a custom-leveling system without doing millions of if/then/else?

BTW: The level system is for an ability.

maybe you might want to have a formula for the exp needed to make it just 1 If/then/else.. example

• If
  • Conditions
    • If EXP is greater than or equal to (100 + HeroLevelxblahblah)

If there is no formula for the exp requirement I don't think you can simplify it.....

It's not for hero level, so it makes it harder.

Okay, I guess everything is done with variables, so this is the formula:

• Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • ProficiencyXP Equal to (100 + ((100 x ProficiencyLevel) + ProficiencyModifier))
    • Then - Actions
      • Set ProficiencyLevel = (ProficiencyLevel + 1)
      • Set ProficiencyModifier = (ProficiencyModifier + (ProficiencyLevel x 10))
    • Else - Actions

Err... I can't fill in the rest of the events/conditions/actions, since I don't know when your proficiency (or whatever it is) should level...
But this is the XP-system :/

 

[manstie]

Ok, well, is there a condition to find the level of an ability?

 

[ap0calypse]

Yep, there is =D

Integer comparison => Unit - Level of (ability) for (unit).
unit will probably be "Triggering unit" or something, the ability is up to you

 

[manstie]

Yeah. Thanks.

The person that I'm making Life ORPG with, thought of a different, balanced-ish kind of exp/level 'thingy'.
Level 0 - 50 (For algarithm usage, not an actual level)
Level 1 - 50
Level 2 - 100
Level 3 - 150
Level 4 - 250
Level 5 - 400
Level 6 - 650
Level 7 - 1050
Level 8 - 1700
Level 9 - 2750
Level 10 - 3450

If you can see - it's like that maths thingy... you know... the rabbit breeding thingy... anyway. It adds the 2 previous level exp's to get the next levels exp.

How could I do that?


... I used 'thingy' a lot.

 

[ap0calypse]

You mean like fibonacci? (GIYF if you don't know that already )
It's like: XP(this level) = XP(Lvl - 2) + XP(Lvl - 1)

 

[manstie]

Yeah, fibonacci, forgot his name, anyway... so...
I will have to make a variable that stores the exp level ups number?
Then use that. Ok thank you.
