How do I better define leaderstats?

Asked 166 views1 answers

Hello. I am having issues with this script where leaderstats is underlined in blue so the script won't work. Should I have it in a local script? I currently have the script in Workspace. The script abbreviates large amounts of Cash on the leaderboard.

function Convert(num)
local x = tostring(num)
if #x>=13 then
local num1 = (#x-12)
return x:sub(0,(num1)).."."..(x:sub(#x-10,(#x-10))).."Q+" --Quadrillion
elseif #x>=10 then
    local num1 = (#x-9)
    return x:sub(0,(num1)).."."..(x:sub(#x-7,(#x-7))).."B+" --Billion
elseif #x>= 7 then
 local num1 = (#x-6)
 return x:sub(0,(num1)).."."..(x:sub(#x-5,(#x-5))).."M+" --Million
elseif #x>=4 then
    return x:sub(0,(#x-3)).."."..(x:sub(#x-2,(#x-2))).."K+" --Thousand
else
return num
end
end

local number = leaderstats.Money

number.Changed:connect(function()
    number.Value = Convert(number.Value)
end)

Even if something is underlined in blue, that doesn't mean it won't work. There are many situations when a warning will show that are invalid.

Try this in a script 

function playeradd(player)
local leaderstat = Instance.new("StringValue",player)
leaderstat.Name = "leaderstats"
local gold = Instance.new("NumberValue",player) --creates real gold but the display cant be seen
gold.Name = "Gold"
gold.Value = 10 --starter gold
local foolsgold = Instance.new("StringValue",leaderstat) --creates the fake gold that shows on the leaderboard
foolsgold.Name = "Gold"
foolsgold.Value = 10 --starter gold
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(playeradd) -- calls playeradd when a player joins

and this in a local script (put it inside of starterplayerscripts inside of starterplayer)

function Convert(num)
local x = tostring(num)
if #x>=16 then
local num1 = (#x-15)
return x:sub(0,(num1)).."."..(x:sub(#x-13,(#x-13))).."QN+" --added Quintillion for fun :P
elseif #x>=13 then
local num1 = (#x-12)
return x:sub(0,(num1)).."."..(x:sub(#x-10,(#x-10))).."QD+" --Quadrillion
elseif #x>=10 then
	local num1 = (#x-9)
	return x:sub(0,(num1)).."."..(x:sub(#x-7,(#x-7))).."B+" --Billion
elseif #x>= 7 then
local num1 = (#x-6)
return x:sub(0,(num1)).."."..(x:sub(#x-5,(#x-5))).."M+" --Million
elseif #x>=4 then
	return x:sub(0,(#x-3)).."."..(x:sub(#x-2,(#x-2))).."K+" --Thousand
else
return num
end
end

local number = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Gold

game.Players.LocalPlayer.Gold.Changed:connect(function()
	number.Value = Convert(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Gold.Value) --chages the foolsgold display to whatever Convert() spits out
end)

just change all of the golds to cash or whatever your currency is (this was tested)
