FYI, bumping your own tutorial without any actual info is against the rules.

But apart from that, it is very simple and efficient. The only thing I can say is that using global variable might be better. For a novice user, you could put in something like

global.variable = 0;

But for more in-depth I would always prefer to use the room's creation code to create globalvars (although you would need to point out that there were variables in the creation code to help out new users). So in creation code, I would put:

globalvar xp, xp_needed, health, level;
xp = 0;
level = 1;
xp_needed = 100 * level;
health = 100;

Then, you never have to worry about them again! Apart from that, the level up system is simple, efficient, and working.

Hi this worked great for my RPG and I've credited you in the game info

I do have an issue, however. My game is click-to-move (like Diablo for example) and works from rotating the sprite to face the mouse. When I use your system my sprites don't rotate anymore. I think this is due to something I read earlier on creaing health bars; when a draw event is made, the sprites seem to function differently (they were disappearing completely with other methods haha). Other than that everything else is fine though.

here is the step event of my player (keep in mind I'm a noob at gml haha)

//constant
if speed>=0 then image_speed=0.4
if speed=0 image_speed=0 && image_index=0
if health<=1 then instance_destroy()
//left click
if mouse_check_button(mb_left) move_towards_point(obj_move.x,obj_move.y,5)
if mouse_check_button(mb_left) image_angle = point_direction(self.x, self.y, mouse_x, mouse_y)
if point_distance(self.x, self.y, mouse_x, mouse_y)=0 then speed=0
//unarmed
if collision_circle(self.x,self.y,72,par_enemy,true,false) then sprite_index=spr_human_knight_unarmed_attack
else sprite_index=spr_human_knight_unarmed
//level-up
if collision_circle(self.x,self.y,72,par_enemy,true,false)
{
Damage = round(random(12));
enemy = instance_nearest(x,y,par_enemy);
enemy.Health -= round(Damage);
Experience += round(Damage);
can_attack = false;
alarm[0] = 20;
}

Perc_Health = (Health/MaxHealth) * 100;

if Health < 1
{
x = xstart;
y = ystart;
Health = MaxHealth;
}

if Experience >= MaxExperience
{
Experience -= MaxExperience;
Level += 1;
MaxExperience = Level * 100;
}


Thanks in advance

This level up is very good technique. But, I want to know about other ability to increase such as the damage and armor of the player. Should I add these items as the local or global variables and how I manage them when save the game.

is perfect, economical, and easy to learn
