How do I make a variable increase when one variable is increased to a non-certain amount? (the variable should be able to go to infinity)

Hey, I'm making a program where you eat stuff to get points. I'm going to make it so that you can level up. What i'm trying to do is make it so that every time you get one hundred points, you level up, but I want there to be infinite amount of levels.
I don't want it like this:

if <(score) = [100 ]> then
change [level v] by (1)    
end
if <(score) = [200 ]> then
change [level v] by (1)    
end
if <(score) = [300 ]> then
change [level v] by (1)    
end

Etc.
Thanks, and please write if you know the answer! I will give you a lot of credit in the project when I share it.

Set a variable to the score to be exceeded to reach the next level. Each time you reach/exceed the value change the level and set the next limit.

Can you get your duplicate topic closed please.

forever
if <((score) mod (100)) = [0]> then
change [level v] by (1)  
wait until <not <((score) mod (100)) = [0]>> //S that it desn't continue changing the level forever  
end
end

Sorry I dont know how to close it. Also I have no idea what you are talking about.

jokebookservice1

See my post on your duplicate topic

23arubin

IM SORRY THE DUPLICATE WAS AN ACCIDENT
Also, I want it to be able to be increased whenever they get 100 points, not get to a certain level and then stop earning them. I will try this, and if it works I will tell you. Thanks.

set [current-limit v] to [99
set [level v] to [1]
forever
wait until <(score) > (current-limit) >
change [level v] by [1]
change [current-limit v] by [100]
end

If you click on Report in one of the posts you could ask for the duplicate topics to be merged into one.

ok

jokebookservice1 I tried that it gave me way more than one level. Maybe you typed it wrong, and maybe I put it in wrong. Thanks for trying

What they gave you should have worked. Share the project so we can see what you missed.

23arubin

Ok. I deleted what you guys told me to put in, and it still didn't work, so I will add it back in and share. I will unshare it once you debug.

if <the program works> then
    
say [YAAAY! THANKS BRO!]
end

If you share it and tell us which project it is (and preferably which sprite) we can have a look.

um…………i think this might work. i had a similar problem.

when green flag clicked
set (max v) to [100]
forever
if (((score)=(max))or((score)>(max))) then
change (max v) by [100]
change (level v) by [1]
end
end

hope it helped!

Thanks! It worked! I may post more about the other bugs in this program, so please look at those!

That's the same idea as my first post but mine uses wait until to avoid the forever loop having to constantly evaluate the ‘if’ block which should make it more efficient.

I do have a code that if one variable is to a certain number another variable changes. When one variable exceeds one hundred the other one changes. But only if its already at one hundred and then it adds. but let's say it was at 95, and i earn another 10 point, the other variable doesn't change? Can someone plz help.

Sounds to me like the number isn't being detected at all. When debugging projects, I like to pull apart scripts and inspect things at certain times. If you think a variable should be changing but isn't, check if that changing block is having an opportunity to run, maybe the conditions for a boolean is never met.

It's best to create your own topic about this instead. Then you can show what you have with more detail and have people able to focus on your question specifically.
