You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:
-
What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
I want to convert a number to M’s and K’s. Example: 2.300.000 to 2.3M -
What is the issue? Include enough details if possible!
The database probably gets destroyed by the string value. -
What solutions have you thought of so far?
Adding an alternative int value that can be used for the database -
After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!
So I wanna change very long values to M’s and K’s, K standing for thousand and M standing for millions. Is this possible though, without killing the database?
Here is the code that gives money and saves when the user leaves:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("IntValue")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local time = Instance.new("IntValue")
time.Name = "Salary ($)" --Leaderboard Name
time.Parent = leaderstats
leaderstats.Parent = player
while wait(60*15) do
AddCash(player)
end
end)
--Saving Data
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore(player.Name.."Stats")
local statstorage = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats"):GetChildren()
for i = 1, #statstorage do
datastore:SetAsync(statstorage[i].Name, statstorage[i].Value)
print("saved data number "..i)
end
print("Stats successfully saved")
end)
--Loading Data
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore(player.Name.."Stats")
player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
wait(1)
local stats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats"):GetChildren()
for i = 1, #stats do
stats[i].Value = datastore:GetAsync(stats[i].Name)
print("Found stat number"..i.."")
end
end)
function AddCash(player)
player.leaderstats["Salary ($)"].Value = player.leaderstats["Salary ($)"].Value + 125000
-- I normally have more code here but it's not needed for the issue
end)
