You should definitely look at Miners Haven open source code; I was just looking at it… it’s called the MoneyLib and does exactly what you’re looking for be warned it is Copyrighted so therefore you’ll have to fork it and study it prior to rebooting your own releases

#11

eh well it looks confusing if u don’t understand it

#12

Its really that return line and me not knowing what log10 means and it just sounds bad to use for some reason lol.

#13

it’s copyrighted and opensourced? never heard that before :joy:
anyways, i’ll check it out later

#14

Just because its opensourced it doesn’t mean it’s not copyrighted. You can be opensourced but still cost money (My projects and Red hat). Open sourced means people can see the source and learn from it, copyrighted means that its illegal to steal it.

Here you go here is a good way.

local Suffixes = {"", "K", "M", "B", "T", "QA", "QI", "SX", "SP", "OC", "NO", "DC", "UD", "DD", "TD", "QAD", "QID", "SXD", "SPD", "OCD", "NOD", "VG", "UVG"}

function abbreviateNumber (n)
	local s = tostring(math.floor(n))
	return string.sub(s, 1, ((#s - 1) % 3) + 1) .. (Suffixes)[math.floor((#s - 1) / 3) + 1]
end

Depending if there is a maximum amount of cash you’d like players to have then you can probably get rid of a few of the suffixes I don’t think players what have 1 Septillion cash (Assuming that’s what SP means)

So like do i edit something in the main lb script or do i add another script?

Yeah, I think so! Test it and see if it works.

May I see what statsname is? It should be a number of the amount of money you’ve got.

#23

abbreviateNumber(AmountOfMoneyPlayerHas)

In between the ( ) should be the money you have. So a number not a string.

#24

Yea, i put the abbreviate in the wrong part of the script :sweat_smile:

#25

Thank you so much for helping, hope you have a good day!

#26
