Any way to shorten this? - mrcoolballs - 25.08.2010

I am making this rank up system which is kinda annoying

Code:

	if(GetPlayerPoints(playerid) == 500)
	{
	    SendClientMessage(playerid,ORANGE,"You have been PROMOTED! You are now Rank 2");
		PlayerInfo[playerid][PLevel] = 2;
		return 1;
	}
	if(GetPlayerPoints(playerid) == 1000)
	{
	    SendClientMessage(playerid,ORANGE,"You have been PROMOTED! You are now Rank 3");
		PlayerInfo[playerid][PLevel] = 3;
		return 1;
	}
	if(GetPlayerPoints(playerid) == 1500)
	{
	    SendClientMessage(playerid,ORANGE,"You have been PROMOTED! You are now Rank 4");
		PlayerInfo[playerid][PLevel] = 4;
		return 1;
	}

instead of making them go up to level 100
is there a way that i can go like
every 500 points the player gets he goes up a level instead of ading every single one

pawn Code:

rank=floatround(GetPlayerPoints(playerid)/500, floatround_floor)
if(PlayerInfo[playerid][PLevel] != rank)
{
    format(string, 128, "You have been PROMOTED! You are now Rank %d", rank);
    SendClientMessage(playerid,ORANGE,string);
    PlayerInfo[playerid][PLevel] = rank;
    return 1;
}

Float functions aren't the fastest, so don't execute it like every 200ms, optionally only when someone get's points.

Thanks alot, but if you wouldnt mind could you explain that to me? it works but i still dont understand how

Re: Any way to shorten this? - Claude - 25.08.2010

/ means PlayerPoints part by 500 (10/2 = 5), it also checks if player is not the current rank

Ok mndfck. forgot about division using substraction. but now you have possibly gotten code you'll never understand without bunch of reading. But still, it's a bunch of float functions, as pawn seems to have only float math functions (I mean that - is anyway defined as floatsub(oper1, float(oper2)); )
Which obviusly in ****** script shows that we have to use other thing than division. Thanks for example, it's useful for me too.
