Leveling code

[BoomerET]

My leveling code is a mess.

Here's an example:

if (field[resMax].value < 2101) then
  hero.child[resBtH].field[resMax].value = 0
  hero.child[resXP].field[resExtra].value = 2101
  hero.child[resLevel].field[resMax].value = 1
elseif (field[resMax].value < 4701) then
  hero.child[resBtH].field[resMax].value = 1
  hero.child[resXP].field[resExtra].value = 4701
  hero.child[resLevel].field[resMax].value = 2
elseif (field[resMax].value < 9401) then

resBtH is Base to Hit
resExtra of resXP is XP needed for next level.
resmax of resLevel is the current characters level.

That's for one class of 12, and only to check for the 1st and 2nd level.

So, there must be some other way to do it, in non-HL code, I'd try to use an array of some sort.

Anyone have advice, because the way I have it right now, I'm close to the max of if/then statements. (Found that out the hard way and had to recode some sections)

Edit: I see arrayrows and matrixcolumns, maybe that's the way to go?

Use an array or matrix. It will save you a lot of grief on this.

Another thing I've noticed.

I used to hit CTRL-C to compile, then CTRL-R to reload.

Now I'm seeing that CTRL-R does a compile and reload, when did that start?

It's always done that for me and I've been doing this for three years now with it.

Guess I just never noticed it before.

Guess I can stop w/ the CTRL-C
