I need a code to set a limit to lvl up


for example I have to gain 300 experience to climb to lvl 2 ..... 600 exp to level 3 ............. 900 lvl4 experience and all so ..... I need esooo ......... ........

Try working it out mathematically...you can use all kinds of operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, for example :P

How fast do you want it to climb exactly? Exponentially or a fixed amount each time?

mob
    proc
        Level_Up(mob/players)
            if(src.level == 45) // set level limit
                src.level = 45
                src.exp = maxexp
                return
            if(src.exp >= src.maxexp) // leveling up
                var/max_exp = src.level * 16999
                var/rollover_exp = src.exp - src.maxexp
                src.level ++
                src.exp = 0
                src.maxexp = max_exp
                src.exp += rollover_exp


That is how i would do it :)

What if the rollover_exp var is still higher than maxexp? I wouldn't do it the way you've shown.

Edit:

Where is mob/players used?

Hmm, here it is

world
    mob=/mob/players
mob/players
    Login(/**/)


You can always use math to set rollover_exp. I don`t see any problem here sir ^^ I am just showing him the way it could be done.

I'm not having a dig or anything, but mob/players isn't used in that proc at all. Maybe DM has changed since I last went in to it, but from what I know the "Level_Up(mob/players) could just be Level_Up().

I personally would do this:
mob/proc
  Level_Up()
    if(src.exp < src.maxexp) return /* I may actually make the operator
                                       < and change return to
                                       src.Level_Up() and place it where
                                       the level up proc is called (Then
                                       the proc won't get called when
                                       it's not needed). */
    while(src.exp >= src.maxexp)
      src.exp -= src.maxexp
      if(src.level < levelcap) src.level++
      else break
      src.maxexp += rand(300,500)
      sleep(1)

Personally I would go with something like this, but there are numerous ways to go about these things.
(Heavily commented for the OP)
// Insert a level cap for your game
#define LEVEL_CAP 70

// Relevant variables
mob/var
    level = 1
    exp = 0
    maxExp = 300

mob/proc
    gainExp(amount)
        // Can't gain exp once you reach the level cap
        if(level >= LEVEL_CAP) return
        // Ensure the amount is a number
        if(isnum(amount))
            // Add the exp
            exp += amount
            // If you have reached or exceeded the maxExp
            if(exp >= maxExp)
                // Get the excess experience
                var/excess = exp - maxExp
                // Run the levelUp() proc
                levelUp()
                // If there is excess exp, add it
                if(excess) gainExp(excess)

    levelUp()
        // Increase Level, Reset exp
        // and increase maxExp
        level ++
        exp = 0
        maxExp += 300

mob
    var
        level = 1
        exp = 0
        max_exp = 300
    proc
        gainExp(amount)
            exp += amount
            while(exp>=max_exp)
                if(level>=70)break
                var excess = exp - maxExp
                exp = excess
                level++
                max_exp+=300
