Make a number into a shortcut(?)
I'm trying to make a script that changes a gui text to show "1m" instead of "1000000" as it's more neater and easier to read. I found a script that I could use but I'm not exactly 100% sure on how to use it on a gui text, here's the script in my gui:
1 | script.Parent.Text = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Cash.Value |
2 | while true do |
3 | wait(0.1) |
4 | script.Parent.Text = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Cash.Value |
5 | end |
Here is the script I found but I tried using but couldn't get it to work:
01 | local suffixes = {"K", "M", "B", "T", "Q", "Qu", "S", "Se", "O", "N", "D"} |
02 |
03 | local function toSuffixString(n) |
04 | for i = #suffixes, 1, -1 do |
05 | local v = math.pow(10, i * 3) |
06 | if n >= v then |
07 | return ("%.0f"):format(n / v) .. suffixes[i] |
08 | end |
09 | end |
10 | return tostring(n) |
11 | end |
12 |
13 | script.Parent.Text = toSuffixString(game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Cash.Value) |
If you know how fix this, please let me know.

it is easy! Do it like:
01 | local StarterGui = __________ -- Show startergui here |
02 | --Show like script.parent.parent.parent...(etc until it comes to the StarterGui) |
03 | --As you should use a normal script, using game.Players.LocalPlayer won't work |
04 |
05 | local cash = StarterGui.Parent.leaderstats.cash |
06 |
07 | cash.Changed:Connect(function() |
08 | if cash.Value >= 1000 and cash.Value < 1000000 then |
09 | local shortened = tostring(cash.Value/1000) |
10 | script.Parent.Text = (string.sub(cash, 1, 2).."K") |
11 | elseif cash.Value >= 1000000 and cash.Value < 1000000000 then |
12 | local shortened = tostring(cash.Value/1000000) |
13 | script.Parent.Text = (string.sub(cash, 1, 2).."B") |
14 | elseif cash.Value >= 1000000000 and cash.Value < 1000000000000 then |
15 | local shortened = tostring(cash.Value/1000000000) |
16 | script.Parent.Text = (string.sub(cash, 1, 2).."T") |
17 | --keep continuing like that |
18 | end |
19 | end |
And also, make sure you use a Normal script to increase the currency and put this script too as a normal script. Both should be normal script to work.

Just made a script that would do what you wanted, rather than changing your cash varable to a string vale i would leave that as a Number value and just hook up the function you found to the readout on your gui, Something like:
Gui Code: (Local Script)
01 | local function toSuffixString(n) |
02 | local suffixes = {"K", "M", "B", "T", "Q", "Qu", "S", "Se", "O", "N", "D"} |
03 |
04 | for i = #suffixes, 1, -1 do |
05 | local v = math.pow(10, i * 3) |
06 | if n >= v then |
07 | return ("%.0f"):format(n / v) .. suffixes[i] |
08 | end |
09 | end |
10 | return tostring(n) |
11 | end |
12 |
13 | --// this just changes your cash value so it shows the base 10 names in your suffixes table by powering it by 10 aka `10^0 = 1` , `10^1 = 10`, `10^2 = 100` etc.... |
14 |
15 | spawn(function() |
And just incase the server script im using:
Code:
01 | local Players = game:GetService("Players") |
02 | Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) |
03 |
04 | local LS = Instance.new("NumberValue",plr) |
05 | LS.Name = "leaderstats" |
06 |
07 |
08 | local Cash = Instance.new("NumberValue",LS) |
09 | Cash.Name = "Cash" |
10 | Cash.Value = "0" |
11 | end) |
Hope this helps! :)
