Why does my experience value go into the negatives?
The >= (greater than or equal to) doesn't work and sometimes miscalculates the currentXP values into the negatives.
Is there any other efficient way to calculate this stuff?
if newvalue >= maxXP.Value then
local StarterPlayer = game:GetService("StarterPlayer")
local currentXP = StarterPlayer:WaitForChild("plrInfo").currentXP
local currentLevel = StarterPlayer:WaitForChild("plrInfo").currentLevel
local maxXP = StarterPlayer:WaitForChild("plrInfo").maxXP
currentXP.Changed:Connect(function(newvalue)
if newvalue >= maxXP.Value then
currentLevel.Value = currentLevel.Value +1
currentXP.Value = (currentXP.Value - maxXP.Value)
maxXP.Value = maxXP.Value *1.5
end
end)
I've tested it and sometimes currentXP is more than maxXP resulting in the exp bar not working anymore. (very rare though)

What you have to do is this:
local StarterPlayer = game:GetService("StarterPlayer")
local currentXP = StarterPlayer:WaitForChild("plrInfo").currentXP
local currentLevel = StarterPlayer:WaitForChild("plrInfo").currentLevel
local maxXP = StarterPlayer:WaitForChild("plrInfo").maxXP
currentXP.Changed:Connect(function(newvalue)
if newvalue >= maxXP.Value then
currentLevel.Value = currentLevel.Value +1
if (currentXP.Value - maxXP.Value) <= 0 then --Checks if it is less then 0
currentXP.Value = 0
else
currentXP.Value = (currentXP.Value - maxXP.Value)
end
maxXP.Value = maxXP.Value *1.5
end
end)
It just simply checks if it is less than or equal to 0.
