[KingSean02]

I am just starting glua and would like to know the hooks functions or anything needed for making a leveling system or anything useful comment anything helpful below thank you.

Ps im looking to make a rank system based off of hours and kills if anyone can provide me with info about that

There's no hook for that, you must find what kind f sources do you want to use to level up and use variables with it

You might want to wait a bit before creating a leveling system

Note: This code is not meant to be used as is, it's merely to get you started and doesn't include networking/saving data. (it's pretty basic and bad)

Here we set the player's xp and level when they first spawn in:

hook.Add("PlayerInitialSpawn", "levelSystem", function(ply)
    ply.xp = 0
    ply.level = 1
end)

Here is a function to add xp and check if the player should level up:

local pMeta = FindMetaTable("Player")

function pMeta:addXP(xp)
    if self.xp + xp > self.level * 100 then --the player has leveled up
        self.xp = self.xp + xp - self.level * 100        
        self.level = self.level + 1
    else --the player has not leveled up, add their new xp
        self.xp = self.xp + xp
    end
end

Here is a way that we can grant a player xp:

hook.Add("PlayerDeath", "levelSystemKillXP", function(victim, inflictor, attacker)
    if victim != attacker then
        attacker:addXP(20)
        attacker:ChatPrint("You were granted 20 XP for killing "..victim:Nick()..".")
    end
end)

function addXP(ply, xp)
    if ply.xp + xp > ply.level * 100 then --the player has leveled up
        ply.xp = ply.xp + xp - ply.level * 100        
        ply.level = ply.level + 1
    else --the player has not leveled up, add their new xp
        ply.xp = ply.xp + xp
    end
end

No reason to use a global function when you can define a metafunction.

Yes you're right, wasn't think when I wrote that.

No, it's your creation, you figure it out.
Besides, there are [B]a lot[/B] of different ways to make a level/xp system, there's no explaining what you have to do fully because there are so many options of what can be done.

If you have no idea what to do or how to do it, perhaps you should listen to my previous advice:
