Remainders?

Ok, so a var that reaches or is over a var that is the maximum for it shall raise up another bar(yes, a levelup proc), but what if the var is over the maximum var? I have been trying to make remainders for my levelup procs, but it only works once. Here's what Ive got:
    proc/LevelUp()
        if(src.XP == src.MaxXP)
            src.lvl += 1
            src.MaxXP += src.MaxXP
            src.XP = 0
            src.INT += 4
            src.DA += 2
            src.str += 3
            src.MaxHP += 5
            src.HP = MaxHP
            src << "<b>YOU HAVE LEVELED UP, YOU ARE NOW LEVEL [src.lvl]"
            if(src.lvl == 3)
                src << "<b>You learned Orchideous!"
                src.verbs += new/mob/mage/verb/Orchideous
            if(src.lvl == 550)
                src << "<b>You learned Avada Kedavra!"
                src.verbs += new/mob/mage/verb/Avada_Kedavra
        if(src.XP>src.MaxXP)
            src.XPremainder = src.XP - src.MaxXP
            src.XP += src.XPremainder
            LevelUp()


it half works, it raises the MaxXP, but it doesn't raise your stats and level

Dear god, no. Just no. Stats should be handled via datum.

stat // Stat datum
  var
    value // Current value
    mvalue // Max value
    uvalue // Upgrade value

  New(X,Y) // X and Y are numbers
    value = X ; mvalue = X
    uvalue = Y

  proc
    Upgrade()
      var/X = mvalue + uvalue
      src.New(X,src.uvalue)


That should cover what you're asking for. By expanding this code you should be able to do everything you want to do with stats.

wait, if I do stat/var, then it will no longer be a mob variable, so I will get errors

stat
  var/value = 0
  var/max_value = 0

mob/var
    stat/XP
    stat/HP
    stat/MaxHP
    stat/MaxXP
    stat/INT
    stat/DA
    stat/str
    stat/lvl
    stat/year


for some reason, it hates the lvl and XP vars ;(

EDIT:Yeah, gonna get some comments about the indentation on those, but they aren't like that in the code, just in browser

I recommend reading the link that I posted.

It's almost like.. they may be related!

The reason it's doing that (both displaying incorrectly, and giving you an indentation error) is because you've mixed tabs and spaces. Choose one or the other.

It's bad design to manually call New() like that. You should create another process (Set() would be a typical name, but that's close to a reserved token, so Assign() might be a better choice) that handles setting the variables. Then you call that one process in New() and Upgrade(). That way, the code is more readable, because it's immediately obvious what the call is doing, unlike New(). Although, it's a bit overkill to write a process just for assigning three variables.

Also, you never defined 'x' (lowercase) in your New() process.

Hmmm. Well that's the way I've been doing it. Thanks for the notes though!

Also, sorry about the (x):( I wrote this right after my Physics class.
