My 'problem' is more of a feature I am looking to add, I used this guide:
https://anidiots.guide/coding-guides/sqlite-based-points-system
I changed the code a little to mainly give you a random amount of XP, I am looking to edit how much XP is needed to level up.
Right now it is a static amount, being 5000 needed to level up. I am trying to make it increase the amount needed to level up by an extra 5000 each time you level up.
Currently, it works like this:
Level 1 to 2 = 5000 total XP needed
Level 2 to 3 = 10000 total xp needed
Currently, the amount needed to level up is always 5000 between each level.
This is how I want it to work:
Level 1 to 2 = 5000 total XP needed
Level 2 to 3 = 15000 total XP needed
Which will be 5000 to level 2 and then 10000 to level 3 and so on (increasing the amount needed by 5000 each time you level up)
I spent the best part of 2 hours trying different things, and mainly looking at the code being completely out of my depth.
I believed that doing something like this would work, but I have no idea if it's correct
if (score.level == '1') {
nextLevel = 5000
}
if (score.level == '2' {
nextLevel = 10000
}
I highly doubt this is correct, otherwise, my message event would be very long, as I plan to have 100 levels
The code in its entirety:
let score;
if (message.guild) {
score = bot.getScore.get(message.author.id, message.guild.id);
if (!score) {
score = {
id: `${message.guild.id}-${message.author.id}`,
user: message.author.id,
guild: message.guild.id,
points: 0,
level: 1,
};
}
const xpAdd = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10) + 50;
const curxp = score.points;
const curlvl = score.level;
const nxtLvl = score.level * 5000;
score.points = curxp + xpAdd;
if (nxtLvl <= score.points) {
score.level = curlvl + 1;
const lvlup = new MessageEmbed()
.setAuthor(
`Congrats ${message.author.username}`,
message.author.displayAvatarURL()
)
.setTitle('You have leveled up!')
.setThumbnail('https://i.imgur.com/lXeBiMs.png')
.setColor(color)
.addField('New Level', curlvl + 1);
message.channel.send(lvlup).then(msg => {
msg.delete({
timeout: 10000,
});
});
}
bot.setScore.run(score);
}
The code as-is works fine and as expected, but as-is is not very good, as there is no reward from going from level 30-31 as it's the same amount of XP needed to get from level 1-2
