How to insert a comma into a value?

Asked 362 views1 answers

I've got a script that displays the player's level as"'Bounty". If they are level 1 - 999 then it will display level 1 as 1,000, 2 as 2,000, 3 as 3,000 etc. But I'm not sure how to show 1mil bounty when they are level 1000. Here is the script that I'm using:

wait(3)
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

while true do
	wait()
	if Player.Stats.Pirate.Value == 1 and Player.Stats.Level.Value <= 999 then
	script.Parent.Text = "Bounty:"..Player.Stats.Level.Value..",000"
	end
end

Thanks for reading!

An example from Desi...Let's take "250000" for example, if we use string.gsub("25000", "(%d%d%d)", "%1,") it will return 250,00 because it searches the string from left to right, so we have to reverse it.

string.reverse("25000"):gsub("(%d%d%d)", "%1,") will return "000,52" so we reverse it again to revert the process. string.reverse("25000"):gsub("(%d%d%d)", "%1,") :reverse() and that's it.

local function addComas(str)
    return #str % 3 == 0 and str:reverse():gsub("(%d%d%d)", "%1,"):reverse():sub(2) or str:reverse():gsub("(%d%d%d)", "%1,"):reverse()
end

print(addComas("250000000"))
print(addComas("25000000"))

The string manipulation works, but when my level is 1001, it makes the bounty "1,001". Do you know how to make it display lvl 1000 as 1,000,000?

just multiply the number by 1000 before adding commas
