need help with player level

[itHyperoX]

Hi, im trying to create my own level system, but i got some problem. I tried a few way, but always gettint debug errors and i dont know how to fix that.

 

Debug error:   sourceS: Line 8: attempt to compare boolean with number

 

Here is the server side:

exports.scoreboard:scoreboardAddColumn("Level") 
function setPlayerLEVEL(player)
for _,player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do
local currentPlayerLevel = getElementData(player,"pLevel" or 0)

if currentPlayerLevel < 5 then  --- Line 8
setElementData(player,"Level",2)
end

if currentPlayerLevel >= 10 and currentPlayerLevel < 15 then
setElementData(player,"Level",3)
end

if currentPlayerLevel >= 20 and currentPlayerLevel < 30 then
setElementData(player,"Level",4)
end

if currentPlayerLevel >= 30 and currentPlayerLevel < 40 then
setElementData(player,"Level",5)
end


end
end
setTimer(setPlayerLEVEL,500,0)

 

 

Here is the client side:

 

setTimer(function()
    if getElementData(localPlayer,"pLevel" or 0) then
        setElementData(localPlayer,"pLevel",getElementData(localPlayer,"pLevel") + 1)
    end
end, 10*600, 0)

 

Thanks any help.

Or can i make it easier?

you don't need to define player it's already in a loop

--serverside, line 4:
local currentPlayerLevel = getElementData(player,"pLevel" or 0)

--should be:
local currentPlayerLevel = tonumber(getElementData(player,"pLevel")) or 0

if tonumber(currentPlayerLevel) < 5 then  --- Line 8

LOL, now that broke what worked.

 

client: 

setTimer(function()
    if getElementData(localPlayer,"pLevel" or 0) then
        setElementData(localPlayer,"pLevel",getElementData(localPlayer,"pLevel") + 1)
        outputChatBox(getElementData(localPlayer,"pLevel"))
    end
end, 100, 0)

I dont get anything from this. Whats happened with this? No debug error

Change line nr. 2 to

if (getElementData(localPlayer,"pLevel") or 0) then

Btw, I dont understand that line at all. You could just do

setTimer(function()
	setElementData(localPlayer, "pLevel", (getElementData(localPlayer, "pLevel") or 0) + 1)
	outputChatBox(getElementData(localPlayer, "pLevel"))
end, 100, 0)

Line 9 attempt to perform arthmetic on boolean value

 

 

setTimer(function()
    if (getElementData(localPlayer,"pLevel") or 0) then
        setElementData(localPlayer,"pLevel",getElementData(localPlayer,"pLevel") + 1)  --- Line 9
        outputChatBox(getElementData(localPlayer,"pLevel"))
    end
end, 100, 0)
