Abbreviating numbers

[IsMeduza (Meduza)]

What do I do to make the currency look the same in both the GUI and the table?

----------Script GUI:----------

while wait(0.1)do

script.Parent.Text=game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Bloins.Value…" Bloins"

end

----------Script Table:----------

local stat = “Bloins”

local startamount = 0

local DataStore = game:GetService(“DataStoreService”)

local ds = DataStore:GetDataStore(“LeaderStatSave”)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)

local leader = Instance.new(“Folder”,player)

leader.Name = “leaderstats”

local Bloins = Instance.new(“IntValue”,leader)

Bloins.Name = stat

Bloins.Value = ds:GetAsync(player.UserId) or startamount

ds:SetAsync(player.UserId, Bloins.Value)

Bloins.Changed:connect(function()

ds:SetAsync(player.UserId, Bloins.Value)

end)

end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)

ds:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats.Bloins.Value)

end)

There are multiple ways to do that,

Here is a very simple one:

local abbreviations = { -- our abbreviations
	N = 10^30;
	O = 10^27;
	Sp = 10^24;
	Sx = 10^21;
	Qn = 10^18;
	Qd = 10^15;
	T = 10^12;
	B = 10^9;
	M = 10^6;
	K = 10^3
}


function abbreviateNums(number)

	local abbreviatedNum = number -- our number that we want to abbreviate
	local abbreviationChosen = 0 -- helpful variable

	for abbreviation, num in pairs(abbreviations) do

		if number >= num and num > abbreviationChosen then

			local shortNum = number / num
			local intNum = math.floor(shortNum)

			abbreviatedNum = tostring(intNum) .. abbreviation .. "+"
			abbreviationChosen = num
		end
	end

	return abbreviatedNum -- we return it, so that we could use it more.
end

To call it, you can simply do:

script.Parent.Text = abbreviateNums(game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Bloins.Value).." Bloins"

Thanks, but isn’t there some other way to make it look like the table or at least show if you have 1,500 and not 1k?

Yes, there are :

How do I shorten this numbers?

So this is my number Abbreviation Module… local AbbreviateNumber = {} local abbreviations = { K = 4, M = 7, B = 10, T = 13, QD = 16, QT = 19, SXT = 22, SEPT = 25, OCT = 28, NON = 31, DEC = 34, UDEC = 37, DDEC = 40 } function AbbreviateNumber.Abbreviate(Number) local Text = tostring(math.floor(Number + 0.5)) -- rounds to nearest whole number -- We can find the numbers of characters in a text by doing #Text , where "Text" is the text you are using if #Text > 4 then Text…

How to abbreviate large numbers?

I’m trying to abbreviate numbers in my game (like 10k, 10m) because the numbers will go off the screen if they are too big. I can’t find any solution to this Anyone able to help?

just remove the math.floor() and then yea

[iscriptfast (Denis)]

local suffixes = {"K", "M", "B", "T", "Q"}

function roundNumber(number)
	local finalNr = math.floor((((number/1000^(math.floor(math.log(number, 1e3))))*100)+0.5)) /100 .. (suffixes[math.floor(math.log(number, 1e3))] or "")
	return finalNr
end

then just do

roundNumber(money) --money is your currency so like Bloins in your case

or

textlabel.Text = tostring(roundNumber(money))
