What do you mean by upgrading it?

#3

tower defense you have 2 upgrade paths that 1 for range and 1 for dmg thats what I mean by upgrading.

#4

You could ditch the large table an make a function that uses math to calculate the stats.

#5

How would I do that? And would it be easy to change later on? For game nufs or buffs?

#6 
function CalculateStats(FirstLevel, SecondLevel)
	local Data = {
		FirstStat = 1+FirstLevel,
		SecondStat = 1+SecondLevel
	}
	return Data
end

Here is some example code as to what I mean, this is very easy to change in the future.

Ok thats exactly what I needed thanks!

#8

I dont see how I can add five to the range if the level is 3.

function TowerStats.CalcDar(Dmg, Range)
		local Stats = {
			Dmg = 1+Dmg,
			Attck = 3.5-Dmg,
			Range = 15+Range
		}
	end
#9

Do this, Range = 15+(Range*5)
this will solve your issue I hope as it uses multiplication to solve the problem.

#10

Ok, Thanks for help also is it better to do this,

	function TowerStats.CalcDar(Dmg, Range)
		local Stats = {
			{Dmg = 0+Dmg},
			{Attck = 3-Dmg},
			{Range = 15+Range},
			{Cost = 100*Range*Dmg}
		}
		return Stats
	end

or the orignal?

#11

The original will make it so that when you do
local Stats = TowerStats.CalcDar(Dmg, Range) you can do
Stats.Dmg
Stats.Attck
Stats.Range
Stats.Cost
Compared to having to do Stats[0].Dmg and Stats[1].Attck There is no need to put them in a table.
