This script outputs 25,0000,000 when it's supposed to output 250,000,000?
01 | local str = "1234" --input string |
02 | local output = "" --result |
03 | str = string.reverse(str) --reverses the string so that the , go in the correct place |
04 |
05 | for i=1 , string.len(str) do --loop through all characters |
06 |
07 | if i % 4 == 0 then --uses modulo which is the remainder from the division of i/4 |
08 | output = output .. "," .. string.sub(str, i, i) --adds in the , incuding the number |
09 | else |
10 | output = output .. string.sub(str, i, i) -- no , needed |
11 | end |
12 |
13 | end |
14 |
15 | output = string.reverse(output) --puts the string back to its correct format |
16 |
17 | print(output) -- prints the result |

I need a guy to display a number value, And I'm trying to get it to separate the output by 3 to display on the guis as (xxx,xxx,xxx) instead of (xxxxxxxxx) alberthutchins 12 — 10y

Do you think you could help me find a way to make the script reload overtime the leaderstat value is changed? i've already tried and each time it doesn't work. i tried having a function that was called when the value changed but it never changed the text on the guis alberthutchins 12 — 10y

Change the script to be work if you use if i % 3 == 1 and i > 0 then instead of if i % 4 == 0.
I recommend looking at http://lua-users.org/wiki/FormattingNumbers
ex, they have this function:
01 | function comma_value(amount) |
02 | local formatted = amount |
03 | while true do |
04 | formatted, k = string.gsub(formatted, "^(-?%d+)(%d%d%d)", '%1,%2') |
05 | if (k==0) then |
06 | break |
07 | end |
08 | end |
09 | return formatted |
10 | end |
ex, comma_value(1234567890) --> 1,234,567,890
If you have a string, you can use tonumber to convert it into a number.
