Fun mechanics to add to your maps! Pt. 1

In this short guide, I will teach you how to make a level-up system, similar to @Coral’s guide, but a little more advanced and more reliable.

How to make a Level/EXP System! (IN GAME ONLY!), and the illusion of getting stronger! 4/10 or

Useful for an Rpg game, or if you want a player to have to be strong enough to do a quest or get a weapon etc.Lets say you are needing an Rpg style game, which you need to get levels when you kill a sentry, and the higher level you are, the easier they are to kill, or certain requirements need to be met (strong enough) to do a task (Note: If you do this each time it will take alot of memory, maybe make only 10% of enemies give xp, but when they do, they give a lot! Step 1: Place down a sentry, …

Start off by placing down KNOCKOUT MANAGER and set WHEN TARGET KNOCKED OUT, TRANSMIT ON to KNOCKOUT. Copy the KNOCKOUT MANAGER and KNOCKOUT TARGET to SENTRY. Place down a trigger and copy this:
TRIGGER BY PLAYER COLLISION = NO
VISIBLE IN-GAME = NO
TRIGGER WHEN RECEIVING ON = KNOCKOUT
Go to block on the left side of your screen and create block block for WHEN TRIGGERED…. Do what I do:

Set Property "XP"
  Value <Get Property "XP" + 10>
if <Get Property "XP" ≥ <<Get Property "LVL" × 10> - 1>
do Set Property "LVL"
  Value <Get Property "LVL" + 1>
  Set Property "XP" 
    Value 0
Broadcast Message On Channel "ChangeStats"

Note: Make sure the BROADCAST MESSAGE ON CHANNEL block is OUTSIDE of the IF, DO block.

After you’re done with that, place down a property and copy me:
PROPERTY NAME = XP
PROPERTY TYPE = NUMBER
PROPERTY SCOPE = PLAYER
Copy that and change PROPERTY NAME to LVL and DEFAULT VALUE to 1 The rest of the guide is optional.

Now that you’re done with the mechanic, don’t you want your players to see their level? Well, place down a game overlay and copy me:
OVERLAY POSITION = TOP RIGHT
OVERLAY TEXT = XP: 0/10, LVL: 1
CONTENT SCOPE = PLAYER
Create a block for WHEN RECEIVING ON CHANEL… set CHANEL NAME to LVLUP and copy me:

Set Text create text with "XP: "
  Get Property "XP"
  "/"
  <Get Property "LVL" × 10>
  ", LVL: "
  Get Property "LVL"

After that, add a NOTIFICATION and to this:

And bam! You’re done!

Sorry for the lack of images. I’m too lazy.

Tag @Coral in the replies to get his attention! Idk if this is allowed.

Can someone tell me if I did the preformatted text correctly?

[gimmaster12345]

Cool guide! (P.S: I’m not sure tagging someone to get there attention is allowed)

[Coral]

Um, hi! I’m not really sure if this is allowed, but couldn’t you have told me in the replies if my original post? Did you have an error? If so, please let me know in the original post! Or what else you needed, thanks -coral

Nice guide!

[Apoll02]

You do know linking peoples topics pings them automatically, right?

[Telephone_Man]

Amazing guide. This will definitely help me in my maps.

[clef]

I think I did something wrong with the preformatted text. Also, is there a way to fetch all player usernames without having them press a button at the beginning of the game. I’m thinking of a hidden zone/trigger.

[Telephone_Man]

Yeah, a hidden zone with some blockcode to store a players name, or an activity feed for the host would definitely work.

Nice guide!

[Coral]

Depends on your system, but most likely yes, now lets not get off topic,

probably a trigger right by the spawn pad, make them walk through a narrow hallway, forcing them to step on the trigger, (sorry I’m late)

[clef]

ok thanks. i figured it out, tho. just put a trigger on the spawn pad.
