[EO]2.0 Show level

[crzyone9584]

there shouldn't be a conflict as log as you do what this tutorial says. all your doing is adding in a call to get the lvl of the player and displaying next to the name with a - between the lvl and players name.

Better to explore and learn for yourself than having to rely on other people telling you what you can and can't do.

Sorry about that, it works fine, that was a post i made when i was a complete newb and didn't know you had to compile the client after src edits XD.

Also, quick question, is there any way to make it so the level is shown next to your name e.g: Character (10)

[McCull96]

Obviously you'll need to edit this to your likings

>! ' calc pos
    TextA = ConvertMapX(GetPlayerX(Index) * PIC_X) + Player(Index).XOffset + (PIC_X \ 2) - getWidth(TexthDC, (Trim$("Level " & GetPlayerLevel(Index))))
    If GetPlayerSprite(Index) < 1 Or GetPlayerSprite(Index) > NumCharacters Then
        TextB = ConvertMapY(GetPlayerY(Index) * PIC_Y) + Player(Index).YOffset - 5
    Else
        ' Determine location for text
        TextB = ConvertMapY(GetPlayerY(Index) * PIC_Y) + Player(Index).YOffset - (DDSD_Character(GetPlayerSprite(Index)).lHeight / 4) + 5
    End If

    'Draw level
    Call DrawText(TexthDC, TextA, TextB, "Level " & GetPlayerLevel(Index), color)

[Craselin]

I knew that but i didnt know which bit to edit

[crzyone9584]

Simplest way is to do something like this all in modText

```
Call DrawText(TexthDC, TextX, TextY, Name & " - Level - " & GetPlayerLevel(Index), color)
```
its all on one line and you don't have to worry about messing with the values.

[Craselin]

I used this code (slighly modified) but its offset, any way to fix it?

[crzyone9584]

you keep the spaces like i had them?

[Craselin]

Even with those it was still off

[crzyone9584]

Wierd. It worked fine when i tested that why with my title system. I'll go check my code. i may of changed something else to.

[dxxknight]

Yay still works for 2.0 :)

Thank you

Good Job :D

[BugSICK]

does this works in NPC?

Well, considering it's under DrawPlayerName, and it uses GetPlayerLevel, no.

i know that. what im mean is that can this be applicable to NPC changing from player to npc stuff.

[beckymegan]

This is easily my favorite code ever :) <3

[xxXReichoXxx]

for those ones who are wondering u do same thing for npc …. 
```
' calc pos

    TextA = ConvertMapX(MapNpc(Index).x * PIC_X) + MapNpc(Index).XOffset + (PIC_X \ 2) - getWidth(TexthDC, (Trim$("" & Npc(npcNum).Level)))
    If Npc(npcNum).Sprite < 1 Or Npc(npcNum).Sprite > NumCharacters Then
        Textb = ConvertMapY(MapNpc(Index).y * PIC_Y) + MapNpc(Index).YOffset - 5
    Else
        ' Determine location for text
        Textb = ConvertMapY(MapNpc(Index).y * PIC_Y) + MapNpc(Index).YOffset - (DDSD_Character(Npc(npcNum).Sprite).lHeight / 4) + 5
    End If

    ' Draw name
```
like tut says add
Dim TextA As Long
Dim Textb As Long
in
DrawNpcName
and paste that code above btw thanks alot it works for me its niice :)

[game_heaven]

um i got a prob now tha ti did this it says runtime error 53 when i lick on inv. or character

[vincent329]

used this along with the snow npc code but the npc stoped showing lvl i seen reicho said how but i dont understand what they meant by the DrawNpcName and paste that code above where does the code go?

[Likestodraw]

This tut won't work for me <_>

[Justn]

What are you trying to make it look like ill try to make it easy for you?

[vincent329]

does reicho mean to past the code above the drawnpc (i know it sounds stupid of me to ask im just making sure) or somewhere else within the drawnpc?
if i got it right i ran into a problem where it says variable not defind how do i fix it?

[kahnival]

I used Reichos code and it did nothing?

Found a few problems, although it almost works.  Just had to change

```
("" & Npc(npcNum).Level)
```
to:

```
("Level" & Npc(npcNum).Level)
```
And

```
'Draw name
```
to:

```
'Draw level
    Call DrawText(TexthDC, TextA, TextB, "Level" & Npc(npcNum).Level, color)
```
This should display NPC levels properly.  Add the above variables like Reicho said.
Sorry if this is a necropost, not sure as to what the EO considers necro or not, I'm guessing that because I don't receive that red warning I'm fine.  Just wanted to point this out.
