How do you do the powerup code?
Like the one u had on Heroes United.
I tried my ways but it keeps crashing.
So help?

This might help
//vars
mob/var
    TPL = 10 //Maximum power level
    TKI = 5 //Maximum Ki
    PL = 7 //Current power level
    Ki = 3 //Current Ki
//verb
mob/verb/Power_Up()
    if(TPL > PL)//If TPL and PL are not equal
        while(TPL > PL)//Till TPL and PL are not equal
            src.PL += 1//Add 1
    if(TKI > Ki)
        while(TKI > Ki)
            src.Ki += 1

I am sorry if there is a mistake in my code, I was away from BYOND for a long time.

mob/var
    curPL
    maxPL
    curKi
    maxKi

mob/var/tmp/powerupID=0
mob/verb/StartPowerup()
    src.powerupID+=1
    var/thisID=src.powerupID
    while(src.powerupID==thisID)
        src.curPL=min(src.maxPL,src.curPL+1)
        src.curKi=min(src.maxKi,src.curKi+1)
        if(src.curPL>=src.maxPL && src.curKi>=src.maxKi)    break
        sleep(1)

mob/verb/EndPowerup()
    src.powerupID+=1

Your example would "instantly" set their stats to max. If it didn't crash in the process of trying to execute the pointless while loops first.

Thanks for the correction!
Sorry if I misguided anyone!

There is also no way to cancel yours early, and, assuming sleeps were added so powering up would take time, players could spam the verb to stack powering up.
