New player problems

[-sHEDDING-]

Ok if its  a first login then they get an intro and then they get enough xp to level up well for soem reason my char says 25/5 xp heres my join sub

If GetPlayerLevel(index) = 1 Then
  If GetPlayerEXP(index) = 0 Then
Call CustomMenuShow(index, "new player index", "\GUI\CUSTOM\Intro.bmp", 1)
  Call SetPlayerEXP(index, 1)
Call SendPlayerData(Index)
End if
End if

If GetPlayerLevel(index) = 1 Then
Call SetPlayerExp(Index, GetPlayerExp(Index) + 5)
Call SendPlayerData(Index)
End If

End Sub

Is all you want to do, is show that custom menu when the player logs in for the first time?  Because there's an easier way, using inis, e.g.

```
If GetVar("FirstTime.ini", GetPlayerLogin(Index) & "", GetPlayerName(Index) & "") = "" Then
  Call CustomMenuShow(index, "new player index", "\GUI\CUSTOM\Intro.bmp", 1)
  Call PutVar("FirstTime.ini", GetPlayerLogin(Index) & "", GetPlayerName(Index) & "", "1")
End If
```
Or, you can use the onNewChar sub or w/e it's called, but then the custom menu will display as soon as you create a new character.

Hey, I was asleep!

If you want them to level up once they have enough experience, you need to add Call LevelUp(Index) after you set their experience.  It'll only level the player up if they have enough experience, so you could put it anywhere a player gains experience for any reason and not have to worry.

ok thanks both of u and there is no need for else cases since this is in the join sub and only run if they are a new charater and refuge so i could call a custom menu when they press create new char?

You would put the commands in the OnNewChar sub
