clamps

[clark]

i want to use the .clamp on the gainExp function. can someone help me understand how to use .clamp(x,y) properly?

var newValue = Number( oldValue ).clamp( minimumValue, maximumValue );

// Example 1:
health += damage; // Change health (damage could be positive or negative)
health = Number( health ).clamp( 0, 100 ); // Clamp health between 0 and 100

// Example 2:
health = Number( health + damage ).clamp( 0, 100 ); // Do the above in 1 line

I'm pretty sure you can't have negative exp gained (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm presuming here), so clamp might be overkill for what you want to do. You probably only need to check if it's greater than the max value and clamp to that, rather than clamp to a minimum value as well;

expGained = ( expGained > gainLimit ? gainLimit : expGained );

I actually solved the problem by making a plugin, without using clamp.. the way you have that coded is extremely simplistic by comparison... code looks more like a Tsukihime solution than one I'd come up with... where do you guys find the things like 'gainLimit' ... idk. this was my solution --
