Requirement is not increasing

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello! Im making it so that after 10 counts of training, the requirement to level up gets added by 5.

However, this isn’t working, and I don’t know why! After the first 10 punches of training, they level up only after 5 punches each time.

There are no errors in the output. Can someone help?

Thank you.

local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()

You need to reset count every time you level up, or else they only need to get 5 more to level up to the next level since the cap increase by 5.

How do i make it so that the requirement is added exponentially? Basically if the requirement was 10, then the requirement would be 16 (10+16 = 6), then 23 (16+7 = 23) , then 31 (23+8 = 31)

You would store the current level and you would set the requirement to `requirement = 10 + math.pow(2, level)`` or something like that. This example makes it go 10, 12, 14, 18, 26, 42, 74, 138, …
