Unit Level System

[Chizume]

Greetings,

The idea of this system is to create a triggered custom experience/level system (in GUI if possible). There will be several units in the map this will be used for and all will have an individual 'experience bar'. I'd like the experience table to be easily customizable for balancing later on. The units' levels should be based on roman numbers and the outcome should look something like the sample image below. There will be about 10 players in the map, where every player will have a maximum of 45 units, that's a total of 450.

Level	I	II	III	IV	V	VI	VII	VIII	IX	X
Experience*	4	7	11	16	22	29	37	46	56	67

*Each experience point is equivalent to one kill.

If I forgot some vital information please do tell. I would really appreciate if someone would want to take the request.

Yours Truly,
Princess Chizume

How do you want the exp bar to be displayed? Multiboard, or as a floating text above the unit? Do you want it to be visible all the time?

I'm not saying I'm going to create it, maybe if I have some time later

 

[Chizume]

That's a good question! At first I didn't think one should be displayed, but with a number like 67 it may a bit unclear how far your unit is leveled. The image below is an alternative example, but 67 dots can be a little much. Another option could be using a dummy skill slot with as many levels as experience points. (I could also add passive skills and information there). Nevertheless, I like the dot alternative. Do you think it's possible to make it like 10 dots and that the dots are colored by percent? or maybe it's easier with a simple straight bar floating under the roman letters?

EDIT: There is no need for a visual experience bar, just displaying the level in roman letters is enough.

Thanks for your interest.

Yours Truly,
Chizume

I humbly bump this thread in hope of a caring soul to have a look at the request.

i will undertake trying to complete this system for you princess Chizume ^^

EDIT: im not so sure about my floating text using skills, but ill probably learn something new
EDIT2: do you want it too be MPI or MUI (how many units, if MUI)?

Thank you very much dear sir karland90!

I believe MUI is required for this. The map will consist of 10 players, and each player will have 1 ~ 45 units.

interesting leveling system concept... nice idea!

 

[Kahiera]

are the unit's custom values able to be used for this?

 

[Dr Super Good]

I hope its not PvP, otherwise I doubt anyone will ever get 60 unit kills from 1 unit unless there is a huge ammount of unit spawns for the players.

Anyway, such a system is easy. All you do is make a struct, attach it to the unit using hashtable. Every kill adds 1 exp to the struct. You make tables for the roman numerals and for the exp. EXP table I advise is a hashtable. Once a new level is reached it levels up which levels up abilities the unit has. On unit death you clean up the struct and remove the unit from the hashtable to stop leaks.

done, just letting it be checked by wiser people ^^

Yes this is possible, they won't be used for anything else in my map

It is PvP, and I'm aware of the fact that they most likely won't reach 60+ unit kills. But neither do they need to. Besides, the actual experience points per level may be changed.

What you have written below sounds nice and easy. However, my skills and experience with triggers and functions are limited, if they weren't I wouldn't have asked this here.

Thanks for caring!

as i stated before i finished the system (alot thanks to that comment of Dr Super Good). thanks to making this system, i learned to make MUI things and use hashtables ^^.

the system is complere and saved as a map (and uploaded in my pastebin), but since i did it first time, i sent a request to Dr Super Good to check the triggering if there arent any mistakes or something i didnt notice (i wouldnt want to send you an imperfect system ^^).

please stand by

Great! I missed your comment, was afk for a little while between refreshing the site. Oh well! I'm looking forward to seeing it sir.

Great, thanks. I'm sure this will come in handy if used properly!

Btw, apparently karland90 couldn't get the system working quite as requested and wanted. If anyone else had the time and interested to help out it would be real cool?

Yours Sincerely,

[karland90]

if anyone knows GUI really good and doesnt mind helping Princess Chizume, then just in case, here is the system i made.

it is badly-made, but works, except that there cant be more that 100 floating texts in game. i dont think it will really help, but maybe it is useful.

 

[Chizume]

Bump~

A working and sustainable system has not yet been crafted. If you have some spare time at hand and feel kind of nice, then I'd very much appreciate any help I could get.

Yours Sincerely,
Princess Chizume

Ok,since i'll try to make this system,i've got a question:
Will "Resurrection" spell be present at map? I'll need this info when removing floating texts...

Currently no. But it is possible in the future, depending on how much more difficult it would be to create the system with and without.

Greetings,

The system has been successfully created by Garfield1337. I am very grateful for your help! Everyone interested should keep their eyes open for an upcoming thread about the map the system will be used in.

Yours Sincerely,
