Show player exp

[Emy]

Hello, I need some help with showing other players exp. I've tried with GetPlayerExp(Index) and it doesn't work (obviously), do I have to add something or is there an easy way?

Thanks

It doesn't work client-side, you'll have to use MyIndex for that, although this will only display the players EXP, not from others, if you want to archieve that you'll have to make a new packet or find the packet which sends EXP from another player (don't know or it exists)

Well, I searched for it and couldn't find it, so I guess I'll have to add it then. Thanks for your answer though. If someone could give me a hint or anything, that would be lovely.

If you're working server side than GetPlayerExp(index) should work, but can you give us the whole code?

[Emy]

Well I'm basically just using the code for your own exp bar, and I thought it would work if I changed GetPlayerLevel(MyIndex) to GetPlayerLevel(Index) and GetPlayerExp(MyIndex) to GetPlayerExp(Index) but the exp stays at 0 when hovering over other players so I guess I need to add the GetPlayerExp packet that sends the other players exp client side.

I don't think it works just adding the packet from server side right? I'm a rookie so sorry if it sounds stupid, I appreciate your help!

You'll have to make 2 packets, one for client to server with exp request, one with server to client with exp response.

So I got GetPlayerExp(Index) to work, but the problem is others can't see the exp change when they're in the same map, they have to reenter to see the current amount of exp the other players have. What I did was just adding the packet client side and to the PlayerData, any help?

call the Sub you just made in Sub GameLoop i think

Well, that's one way to do it. A better way would be to send the packet to the map whenever a player gains EXP.

Create a sub that sends the EXP to the whole map and run it whenever the player gains EXP (which is how SendEXP is used; or you could modify SendEXP to send it to everyone on the map).

Thanks for your help, so I tried this:
```
Sub SendEXP(ByVal index As Long, ByVal mapNum As Long)
Dim Buffer As clsBuffer

    Set Buffer = New clsBuffer

    Buffer.WriteLong SPlayerEXP
    Buffer.WriteLong GetPlayerExp(index)
    Buffer.WriteLong GetPlayerNextLevel(index)

    SendDataToMap mapNum, Buffer.ToArray()
    Set Buffer = Nothing
End Sub
```
It didn't work.. What am I doing wrong?
