Leveling with xp-bar

[wizlore]

Ok.. I need my brain switched. or maybe a little help from the community.

I have a level-up system made with this formula:

xpcounter>=Level( "Catlin" )*(750+(250*Level( "Catlin" )))

So each time my character "Catlin" levels up she will need 250 additional xp next time to level.
Now.. I would like to illustrate the level-progressing classically.
I have an Xp-bar 500 pixels long. and an indicator I would like to move this distance according to the xpcounter.

So I need a formula, or a work around, each time Xp is gained.

I'm thinking something like this:
set x position of Indicator to: (value("xpcounter")-(Level( "Catlin" )*(750+(250*Level( "Catlin" )))))*(500/(Level( "Catlin" )*(750+(250*Level( "Catlin" ))))

Problem is, this will set the xp-bar negatively at first level.
It's late in Denmark, and my brain is about to implode. Any advice on how to make a level-progress bar that works?

Are you making this for an exporter? If it's just going to be an .exe on PC you can download the Interface Bar Object, it has features a counter doesn't have and works better for this sort of thing. It was never ported to any other runtimes though so if you want to use exporters you're out of luck.

Someone really should port this object or make a new extension that works the same.

For an exporter.

Are you starting at level 0 or level 1? Most games don't start a player at level 0.

True, should start at level 1.
