local ClickDetector = script.Parent.ClickDetector
local Ranks = {
    "Newbie",
    "Novice",
    "Rookie",
    "Beginner",
    "Talented",
    "Skilled",
    "Intermediate",
    "Skillful",
    "Seasoned",
    "Proficient",
    "Experienced",
    "Advanced",
    "Senior",
    "Expert"
}

local function OnMouseClick (Player)
    local level = Player.leaderstats.Level
    local nextlevel = level.Value + 1
    local experience = Player.stats.Experience
    local maxexperience = level.Value * 100
    local title = Player.leaderstats.Title

    experience.Value = experience.Value + ((maxexperience * 0.1)+ 3)
    print("experience : " .. experience.Value)

    if experience.Value >= maxexperience then
        print(experience.Value .. " is higher than or equal to " .. maxexperience)
        local leftexperience = experience.Value - maxexperience
        print("leftexperience : " .. leftexperience)
        experience.Value = leftexperience
        print("experience : " .. experience.Value )
        level.Value = nextlevel

        local rank = Ranks[1 + (level.Value / 5)] -- Important
        title.Value = rank
    end
end

ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(OnMouseClick)

How do i remove the decimal of the rank? For example if the value is 3.8 then it will become 3

Namaste it is i, dual

Normally I would write a really in-depth answer to any question I answer, but this one requires less depth so I'll keep it short.

There are 2 basic methods to do this in the math library

(https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/lua-docs/math)

These are math.floor() and math.ceil().

math.floor() cuts off the decimal, and return the CURRENT integer

math.floor(4.1)) -> 4
math.floor(3.8)`) -> 3

Whereas math.ceil() cuts off the decimal, and returns the NEXT integer

math.floor(4.1)) -> 5
math.floor(3.8)) -> 4

Of course, if neither of these suits your tastes, you can always create your own rounding function, however I believe math.floor() is what you're looking for.

You can read more on Lua's math library here: http://lua-users.org/wiki/MathLibraryTutorial

That is all

adding to this you can use strings to get a more flexible result. so it would be something like this: tonumber(string.format("%.4f", "5.509453")) GGRBXLuaGG 417 — 4y

math.floor(number)

will return the lower value of the number, so if number is 5.9, it will be 5.

math.ceil(number)

will return the higher value of the number, so if the number is 5.1, it will be 6.
