Hey! I am currently working on a simulator where you click to earn “Clicks”. However, I realized that if people get to 100T+ clicks, the leaderstats just look messy and have errors. I’ve looked all over the place but can’t find a working abbreviation script. Can anyone help me with creating an abbreviation script?
(I know this is pretty short, but I don’t really have anything else to include)
I don’t think you can manipulate the core leader board. Best bet is probably making your own.
It’s definitely possible to abbreviate leaderstats as I have seen multiple games do it, but I have no clue how to lol.
You can try converting it to a string and abbreviating it that way. A common module I’ve seen recommended is the one berezaa made for Miner’s Haven. Here’s his MoneyLib module:
(The relevant function is called “shorten”.)

I’d use Berezaa’s MoneyLib for this.
print(MoneyLib.DealWithPoints(1234)); --> 1.23k
or in (and only for) locale aware cases, International:
print(Intl.toLocaleString(1234, 'en', { notation = "compact" })); --> 1.2K
If you want to sort them, this might help: How can I have custom leaderboard sorting? - #2 by starmaq

By the way I’m still unsure about that solution, the guy didn’t respond back. I doubt it would actually end up working.
Another solution I can think of is to quickly change all the leaderstats of all player to IntValues version so they’re sorted and bring them back instanly to string form (assuming that doesn’t change order again). I’m gonna assume that will get noticed though, beacuse the UI has to probably update which might take time (because the server is telling the client to update it, replication).

I hate to sound stupid, but i’ve created a module script and pasted the code. I’ve even tried with just the shorten function and the prefix’s etc, it still didn’t work.
(I put the module script in serverscriptservice, i’m not sure if it should be somewhere else)
Does it throw an error and it is a LocalScript or a Script?
And what’s the source code of the ModuleScript
Try something like this (assuming you’ve named the module MoneyLib)
local ServerScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local MoneyLib = require(ServerStorage:WaitForChild("MoneyLib"))
-- Test to see if this prints
print(MoneyLib.DealWithPoints(1234)) --> 1.23k
-- Assign it to a StringValue in the leaderstats folder
[StringValue in the leaderstats folder of a player].Value = MoneyLib.DealWithPoints(value)
I’d put it on the ReplicatedStorage but it’s up to you.
No errors.

Am I meant to include a localscript or script?
What I did was have the values on my leaderstats be StringValue and add a NumberValue and make the StringValue the NumberValue’s parent. Then I followed this tutorial on youtube:
If I want to add values to the leaderstats, I will have the NumberValue.Value added first, then choose abbreviation from the table (local Abbreviations = {}) and make the StringValue the abbreviation (With the use of the NumberValue)
For reference:
AddTap.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
if plr.leaderstats.Taps.Taps_NumberValue.Value < 999 then
plr.leaderstats.Taps.Taps_NumberValue.Value = plr.leaderstats.Taps.Taps_NumberValue.Value + (2^(plr.leaderstats.Rebirths.Rebirths_NumberValue.Value) * plr.Values.TapAccretion.Value * (plr.Values.TapsMultiplier.Value))
plr.leaderstats.Taps.Value = plr.leaderstats.Taps.Taps_NumberValue.Value
elseif plr.leaderstats.Taps.Taps_NumberValue.Value > 999 then
plr.leaderstats.Taps.Taps_NumberValue.Value = plr.leaderstats.Taps.Taps_NumberValue.Value + (2^(plr.leaderstats.Rebirths.Rebirths_NumberValue.Value) * plr.Values.TapAccretion.Value * (plr.Values.TapsMultiplier.Value))
local Taps_String = tostring(plr.leaderstats.Taps.Taps_NumberValue.Value)
local ChosenAbbreviation
for Abbreviation, Digits in pairs(Abbreviations) do
if (math.floor(math.log10(Taps_String) + 1) >= Digits) and (math.floor(math.log10(Taps_String) + 1) < (Digits + 3)) then
ChosenAbbreviation = Abbreviation
break
end
end
if ChosenAbbreviation then
local Digits = Abbreviations[ChosenAbbreviation]
local Taps_Numbers_Abbreviated = string.format("%.1f", (plr.leaderstats.Taps.Taps_NumberValue.Value / (10^(Digits - 1))))
plr.leaderstats.Taps.Value = Taps_Numbers_Abbreviated..ChosenAbbreviation
else
plr.leaderstats.Taps.Value = plr.leaderstats.Taps.Taps_NumberValue.Value
end
end
end)
Anyone ever find a solution for this? None of the replies work here.
For the leaderstats you could use a StringValue which is the formatted one with a IntValue inside it which is the full equivalent.
So you are saying create a StringValue (abbreviated number), parent it to leaderstats. Then, create an IntValue (full number) and parent that to the StringValue? It doesn’t sort correctly for me when doing so.
Well the String Value will be the value which will be displayed for example 1K and the IntValue inside of it will be the number equivalent 1000, and the leaderstats script will sync them.
Not working for me
Crowns = StringValue, whos value’s are set to 100K/20K
Value = IntValue, whos value’s are set to 100000/20000
