Postgresql trigger function with parameters

I want to create a trigger on a table called takes in postgresql to update a value in another table called student I'm trying to do it in the following way. But I'm getting an error that there is syntax error near "OLD". I don't understand whats wrong with this. This is my code:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION upd8_cred_func
      (id1 VARCHAR, gr1 VARCHAR,id2 VARCHAR, gr2 VARCHAR) 
      RETURNS void AS $$
 BEGIN
    IF  (id1=id2 and gr1 is null and gr2 is not null) THEN 
        update student set tot_cred = tot_cred + 6 where id = id1;
    END IF;
    RETURN;
 END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

CREATE TRIGGER upd8_cred
    AFTER UPDATE ON takes
    FOR EACH ROW
    EXECUTE PROCEDURE upd8_cred_func(OLD.id,OLD.grade,NEW.id,NEW.grade);
