When leveling up, flying texts show a negative gain of XP

max_power

Hi again!

I'm combining flying texts for XP exactly as shown in the tutorial: https://orkframework.com/guide/tutorials/gameplay-bits/combining-status-value-flying-texts/

It's working very well except for when a character levels up.

Let's say a character has a 8 XP out of 10 needed to gain a level. Then, that character gains 4 XP. The flying text will then show that the character gained... -6 XP. (Since the character went from 8/10 to 2/10 XP, it shows a loss of 6 XP...)

Is there a way to correctly show the gain of 4 XP?

(I'm not sure why I hadn't realized this until today, I've been playing with that schematic since summer... oh well...)

Thank you :)

You're probably using exp from zero, i.e. each level up restarts from 0, so exp actually can be reduced here :)

For this, you can limit the Change Schematic to only execute for positive changes via it's Value Change Check settings, e.g. checking for Is Greater than a value of 0.

Ooooh I didn't realize it was an option (but of course, there's an option for everything in Ork :)

I just turned it off and it works as intended now. I think I'll keep it this way.

Yeah, I tried that before my original post, but instead of showing a negative number, it just showed nothing, so it was kinda weird for the player who wasn't receiving any feedback.

Thank you for your time :)
