I was wondering how do I make a person after they reach a certain level they gain more stats. For example lets say they reach level 50, how do I make it so when they reach level 50 they get more hp, defense etc.

obj
    your_training_utility //whatever the training utility is that makes you level up
        verb
            Use() //whatever the name of the verb is
            var/exp //if you have a experience variable
            var/maxexp //if you have a maxexp variable
            if(usr.exp==usr.maxexp)
                usr.Levelup() //just to make it easier, make it a proc

proc
    Levelup()
        usr << "whatever bla bla you leveled up bla bla get to level 50 to increase your stats and whatever"
        var/level += 1
        if(usr.level == 50)
            usr.Lvl50Up() // make it a proc
        if(usr.level == 100)
            usr.Lvl100Up // make it a proc
    Lvl50Up()
        usr << "YOU GOT TO LEVEL 50!!"
        usr.maxhp += num //change the number to whatever you want to increase the stats by
        usr.str += num
        usr.def += num
        var/usr.gotlvl50 = 1 //if you want it that they cant level up at 50 more than once, etc.
        usr.astat += num //another stat and stuff

Make more procs for every level and stuff, and add vars so that no one can cheat and level up to 50 more than once (unless its a gm with an edit verb).

Hope I solved your question.

Thanks, now I'm getting hang of this programming language.Also does this make it so every level after 50 will gain that number of hp, defense etc?

Not the one I gave you, but where you see:
if(usr.level == 50)
    usr.Lvl50Up()
if(usr.level == 100)
    usr.Level100Up()

..you can just add more such as: 
if(usr.level == 150)
    usr.Level150Up()
if(usr.level == 200)
    usr.Level200Up()

..and add more procs called "Level150Up()" and "usr.Level200Up()", and you can copy the Lvl50Up() proc but edit whatever you want. I didn't copy everything because i thought you mightve wanted the stat increases to change every 50 levels and etc. Tell me if you have any problems.

Thanks you did, here is another one. I'm haveing mutiple races in my game, I want each race to have unique leveling system. For example the human race will be skilled in attack while an alien race will be skilled in speed for example. How do I make it so each race will gain those stats, do I create mutiple leveling systems?

Use an if() statement.

You should NEVER EVER use usr in proc.

I use src.

That is such a crappy way of doing it. You could simply just use something like:

mob
   var
      xp
      mxp
      str
      othervar
      level
      health
mob/proc/LevelCheck()
   if(src.xp>=src.mxp)
      src.xp=0
      src.mxp *=2 // Multiple the max xp by 2
      src.str +=rand(1,2) //A random number from 1-2
      src.othervar += rand(5,10) //A random number from 5-10
      src.health += src.level // I just saw the other post about this
      src.level++
mob
   verb
       Attack(var/mob/M in oview(1))
           M.health -= M.str
           src.LevelCheck()

Click(), Dblclick(), North(), Center() and other procedures like them are actually verbs. You can use usr in them safely.

Although... Does North(), South() etc. get called by movement procedures? Maybe they're not safe...

They are proc not verbs.

As opposed to doing what Jay1 suggested, a far more efficient system is to have a formula for the amount of each statistic a character gains upon gaining a level. Something like this:

mob
   var/leetness=0
   var/wootness=0
   var/garthorness=0
   var/exp=0
   var/level=1
   verb/GainExp(var/a as num)
      exp+=a
      usr << "You gain [a] exp"
      if(exp>=(level*10)**2) LevelUp()
   proc/LevelUp()
      level++
      leetness+=level
      wootness+=level
      garthorness+=level
      src << "You are now level [level]"
      if(garthorness>100) src << "You are Garthor"

The way Click() and DblClick() occurs means that they are verbs. They are only ever triggered by player input, so usr is always the player doing the input.

I think North(), South(), Center() etc. work in the same way too.

Anyway, verbs are procs. :P.

This is kind of splitting hairs. atom/Click() is a proc, but it's called directly by client/Click() so its behavior can be entirely assumed to be verb-safe as long as you haven't screwed with client/Click().

Unfortunately you haven't. I appreciate that you're trying to help, but you just don't know what you're doing. Let's examine:

proc
    Levelup()
        usr << "whatever bla bla you leveled up bla bla get to level 50 to increase your stats and whatever"
        var/level += 1
        if(usr.level == 50)
            usr.Lvl50Up() // make it a proc
        if(usr.level == 100)
            usr.Lvl100Up // make it a proc
    Lvl50Up()
        usr << "YOU GOT TO LEVEL 50!!"
        usr.maxhp += num //change the number to whatever you want to increase the stats by
        usr.str += num
        usr.def += num
        var/usr.gotlvl50 = 1 //if you want it that they cant level up at 50 more than once, etc.
        usr.astat += num //another stat and stuff


There's way too much wrong with this. For starters, making these procs global is totally bogus. They should belong to a mob. When they're defined correctly as belonging to a mob, you can use src. In any case you should not use usr for this, because it's not safe in procs.
Rule of thumb:
No put usr in proc. Ungh.
And this line makes no sense, since it won't even compile:
var/usr.gotlvl50 = 1

It's a bit late to define mob vars, so that will fail. But if you had mob/var/highestlevel which just kept track of the highest level gained, you could simply check that every time you wanted to detrmine if stats should increase or not. Having on/off vars like gotlvl50, gotlvl100, etc. is bad; having a var that says you got up to level 55 so far (even if you've lost levels since) is good. For example:

if(++level > highestlevel)
  src << "Welcome to level [level]."
  highestlevel = level
  ...  // raise stats
else
  src << "Welcome back to level [level]."


As for something happening at level 50, you don't need separate procs for that sort of thing. In fact, it's more common to do something every nth level, like perhaps gain certain innate skills at level 5, 10, 15, etc. In those cases you have the handy % operator.

So all in all, none of this is good code and needs to be seriously redone. It's great that you want to help, but you really need to learn more before you can do that.

Okay, that gets a little harder now
mob/Login()
    if(src.race=="Race1")
        src.Race1LevelUpSys()

Thats where my knolwage of the situation goes out of reach. Ask one of these other peoples.
