How do I shorten / abbreviate large numbers on the leaderboard? (E.X: 100M)
Hi, sorry that there is nothing to 'fix' but rather I am asking for help on this. I really don't know where to start on the script and if someone could at least lead me in the right direction so I know how to abbreviate large numbers, that'd be great.
Something similar to what berezaa does in Miner's Haven or 2PGFT.

Here is a little function I wrote.
01 | function Convert(num) |
02 | local x = tostring(num) |
03 | if #x>=13 then |
04 | local num1 = (#x-12) |
05 | return x:sub(0,(num1)).."."..(x:sub(#x-10,(#x-10))).."Q+" --Quadrillion |
06 | elseif #x>=10 then |
07 | local num1 = (#x-9) |
08 | return x:sub(0,(num1)).."."..(x:sub(#x-7,(#x-7))).."B+" --Billion |
09 | elseif #x>= 7 then |
10 | local num1 = (#x-6) |
11 | return x:sub(0,(num1)).."."..(x:sub(#x-5,(#x-5))).."M+" --Million |
12 | elseif #x>=4 then |
13 | return x:sub(0,(#x-3)).."."..(x:sub(#x-2,(#x-2))).."K+" --Thousand |
14 | else |
15 | return num |
16 | end |
17 | end |

The simplest way is to use if statements, but this also means you'll need two different values.
One will be either the IntValue or NumberValue for how much cash (or ore, experience, ) the player has. Put this probably inside the PlayerGui. The other should be the StringValue (since it contains letters in addition to numbers) that goes on the leaderboard.
Whenever the player gets cash, increment the IntValue. Next have something in the script kind of like this:
01 | Cash = Player.PlayerGui.IntValue |
02 | AbbreviatedCash = YourLeaderStatsHere.StringValue |
03 |
04 | ... |
05 |
06 | Cash = Cash+50 |
07 |
08 | If Cash > 1000 then |
09 | AbbreviatedCash =math.floor (Cash/1000).."K" |
10 | elseif Cash >1000000 then |
11 | AbbreviatedCash = math.floor(Cash/1000000).."M" |
12 | elseif Cash < 0 then |
13 | AbbreviatedCash = "You're broke" |
14 | else |
15 | AbbreviatedCash = Cash |
16 | end |
Something like that, hope this works and helps :D
