Level comparing script

[LocalFire]

So I want to compare the levels of two characters and grant exp to the one with the lower level until they are the same.

I've tried to do it like this, with the character with ordinal 1 (the starting character) having the lvl of a second character checked when they join the party.

I want to get it so it loops granting exp until they are the same lvl

Code: Select all

if champion:getOrdinal(1):getLevel()==champion:getOrdinal(2):getLevel() then
hudPrint("same Level")

else

champion:getOrdinal(2)
:gainExp(1000)
return

end
end

Thanks for any help in advance

It's easy script and the only way to learn how to do is just to try harder by yourself to find solution
Hint: Don't use gainExp, but use Champion:levelUp() until they are the same level.

Thanks for the hint heres an update on how this is going

so I have a SE called OrdinalScript with this function

Code: Select all

function getChampionWithOrdinal(ordinal)
  for i=1,4 do
    if ( party:getChampion(i):getOrdinal() == ordinal ) 
 then     return party:getChampion(i);
    end
  end

  return nil;
end

which is called by this function:

Code: Select all

function LvlComp()

if  OrdinalScript.getChampionWithOrdinal(1):getLevel()== OrdinalScript.getChampionWithOrdinal(2):getLevel() then
hudPrint("same Level")

else

OrdinalScript.getChampionWithOrdinal(2)
:levelUp()
return

end
end

so that works! but it only works in as much as one level up, if the first character is lvl 3 or higher it won't keep leveling them up, I thought the return bit would loop the script back until it got the same level or that something else?

Hint No.2 (key word "until" as you wrote in first post): http://lua.gts-stolberg.de/en/schleifen.php

Awesome it now works perfectly

Code: Select all

function LvlComp()


repeat

OrdinalScript.getChampionWithOrdinal(2)
:levelUp()

until  OrdinalScript.getChampionWithOrdinal(1):getLevel()== OrdinalScript.getChampionWithOrdinal(2):getLevel() 


end 

thanks for the hints
