How to shorten money value 1000000 to 1M?
I have a game and I want the number to be 1.5M instead of 1500000. I don't want to put commas in because that maxes out a 1 Quadrillion so I want to use letters after the numbers. If my explaining is horrible, thats what my irl friends say, then I mean just like case clicker
Would this work?
01 | local value = script.Parent.Text |
02 |
03 | function changeNumber(int) |
04 | if tonumber(int) > 1000 then int.Text = 1K |
05 | --// Other stuff |
06 | end |
07 |
08 | while true do |
09 | changeNumber(value) |
10 | wait(1) |
11 | end |

Tested and functional; Lengthen the shorten function (haha) to add more values, and update "money" with whatever you desire. Shortens to 1 decimal place.
01 | local money = 0; -- update this value by whatever means |
02 | local text = script.Parent.Text; |
03 |
04 | local shorten = function(number) |
05 | if(number > 1000 and number < 1000000)then |
06 | return tostring(math.floor(number/10^2)/10) .. "k"; |
07 | elseif(number > 1000000 and number < 1000000000)then |
08 | return tostring(math.floor(number/10^5)/10) .. "m"; |
09 | elseif(number > 10^9 and number < 10^12)then |
10 | return tostring(math.floor(number/10^8)/10) .. "b"; |
11 | -- ... update with more ifs here |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 |
15 | while wait() do |
16 | text = shorten(money); |
17 | end |

It worked with all the other text labels in my game except one which the error says: https://gyazo.com/cd046764742cc7da683f3759346c99c4 the script is: https://gyazo.com/b93bf531466106daaf54073bce2da7c1 PolyyDev 214 — 7y

You cannot shorten() the TextLabel's Text. If the Text is shortened to "1K", but you don't gain any money in 1/2 of a second, you will attempt to shorten() tonumber("1K"). tonumber("1K") will return nil, because it is not a number. Therefore, you pass nil into shorten(). You need a separate "money" variable. KidTech101 376 — 7y

You'll need a way to keep track of the actual cash for it wont get lost so just change "Cash" to where you want/are keeping it.
01 | local value = script.Parent.Text |
02 | local Cash = 50012--Whatever the cash value is |
03 |
04 | function changeNumber(int) |
05 | if tonumber(Cash) > 1000 then |
06 | print(tostring( Cash/1000 .."k")) |
07 | end |
08 | end |
09 |
10 | while true do |
11 | changeNumber(value) |
12 | wait(1) |
13 | end |
