How do i format this script? Im trying to but it’s not working

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local CurrentExp = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Exp
local MaxExp = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").ExpToLevel

local Gui = script.Parent
local Exterior = Gui:WaitForChild("BackFrame")
local label = Gui:WaitForChild("TextLabel")
local Bar = Gui:WaitForChild("Expbar")

local suffixes = {'','K','M','B','T','Qd','Qn'}
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

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


script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = format(CurrentExp.Value).."/"..format(MaxExp.Value) --This part isn't working
CurrentExp.Changed:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = CurrentExp.Value.."/"..MaxExp.Value
	if CurrentExp.Value >= MaxExp.Value then
		Bar.Size = UDim2.new(CurrentExp.Value/MaxExp.Value,0,1,0)
		wait(0.5)
		CurrentExp.Value = 0
		Bar.Size = UDim2.new(CurrentExp.Value/MaxExp.Value,0,1,0)
	else
		Bar.Size = UDim2.new(CurrentExp.Value/MaxExp.Value,0,1,0)
	end
end)

It think it’s best if you follow along this tutorial that uses a way to do suffixs/abbreviations. It should work for your thing too regardless if it was made for currency

#3

when i do that it gets a random number the math.random thing

#4

It’s because you’re directly copying from the tutorial instead of seeing what you should do, at the end it shows him converting it into a module script for easy use you can use that and just use the ModuleScript’s function to abbreviate

Is there an other video because im quite confused

#6

It’s the simplest one I could find, he explains it quite simply, maybe try watching the full video first without copying any code to understand the process

#7

im kind of understanding it now, but im not sure what to put for local number

#8

He used number as an example, you use your own numbers instead

#9

no like he put math.random, how do i make it not choose a random number?

#10

He used the number thing as an example, you don’t have to take that part of the tutorial, you use your own number variables, aka, CurrentExp.Value and MaxExp.Value

#11

I’m not sure if this will fix it or not. But since all text in a textlabel is a string, try using tostring(CurrentExp.Value), and tostring(MapExp.Value).

#12

What would I put for something like the number part

Because I would have two variables

#13

You put your numbers for CurrentExp and MaxExp one by one. It’s not difficult to understand that the number varaible he used is an example

#14

So like (currentexp,MaxExp)???

#15

One by one, you do it twice for both of them

#17

i don’t really understand do you mean this?

function AbbreviateNumber:Abbreviate(CurrentNumber, maxNumber)
#18

Hey there, :wave:
