Level comparing script

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
