Points/Leveling System Overhead GUI [Module Script or Math?]

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

Hello! I was curious how I could possibly going about making a ranking ‘leveling’ system for an Overhead Gui on mine.

Basically:

431×595 209 KB

The player has a Star with a ‘Level’ textlabel that needs to be changed based on the leaderstat:

	local Points = Player.leaderstats.Points

I thought about doing this at first:

Points.Changed:Connect(function()
			
		if Points.Value >= 5000 then 
				
			elseif Points.Value >= 5000 then

			elseif Points.Value >= 4000 then 

			elseif Points.Value >= 3000 then

			etc...
				
		end
			
end)

But I don’t like how it’s very crowded in the main script. So I though maybe:


then:

local module = {}

module.PointsRankings = {
	
	["100"] = {
		Points = 100,
		Level = 5,
	},
	
	["75"] = {
		Points = 75,
		Level = 1,
	},
	
}

return module

Is this simpler? I’m curious how I could go about even possibly with maybe a math function, maybe to check if the points are equal to a certain amount or how much it increments by then it would increase the Level by “1” or “2” lets say.

If not, how can I make a FOR LOOP, to check inside this module script, how much POINTS the player has/changed value, then checking the module script to see which amount equals inside, and assigning that 'Level" to the TextLabel.

Let me know! I believe it may be best to make a For Loop and check the module script.
