I'm creating something in-game which requires the last three digits of a userId to display on an epaulette, and I'm wondering how this could be achieved. So far, I've been unable to find a way to grab specific numbers from a string of numbers.
I don't mean for this to be a request, however, is it possible to grab the last three digits of a userID, and how would this be accomplished?
Many thanks,

Yes. It is possible.
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
print("last is "..string.sub(player.UserId,#tostring(player.UserId)-2,#tostring(player.UserId)))
In this code I made to test it, it will print the last three numbers, using string.sub. A hashtag is used to determine the length of strings. Obviously, the user ID isn't a string, so you must use tostring() to convert it for this. If you need more information,

This is great. I've been stressfully trying to find something along these lines to help with this project. Thanks for the help.
A side-note: It was made as a localscript. Just do the edits to player variable yourself, I guess.
