Exceed over 10^18 (How do I get bigger numbers)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I need help, I was scripting my simulator abbreviation and when I finished, I tried getting numbers like “sx”, “Sp”, “O”, “N”, “de”, “Ud”, “DD”, “tdD”, “qdD”, “QnD”, “sxD” but the max was “qn”, how do I get bigger numbers, bigger than the default for roblox

this is the max 10^18 (look at the diamonds)

this is when I do 10^19 (over the max)

#2

You have to divide the numbers, because functions return stuff like 1E19

#3

Numbers can go up to like 10^308 (although losing some precision along the way).

It might help if you showed the code you’re using to do the abbreviation.

I wrote a function a while ago to do this here if its helpful: How do I shorten this numbers? - #6 by nicemike40

local function format(value)
	for i=1, #suffixes do
		if tonumber(value) < 10^(i*3) then
			return math.floor(value/((10^((i-1)*3))/100))/(100)..suffixes[i]
		end
	end
end

this is how i format my numbers, it just doesnt work over 18 zeros then i use a while function to keep updating it

#5

its really similar to the script you made, im going to try out ur script

#6

If you’re using Values, make sure you’re using NumberValues instead of IntValues

#7

I am using IntValues why does that matter?

#8

IntValues don’t go as high as NumberValues, that’s the exact issue you’re having

So that was the problem, I thought it was going to be more mathematical, but thank you :smiley:

That will only increase the limit to 2^1023 which isn’t enough for some endless simulators which is why there are number modules that increases the limit way higher.
