How i do to get past 9.223 quintillion limit in leaderboards?

Fierizzzz · April 12, 2024, 5:52pm

What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
I want to make a leaderboard that gets past the 9.223 quintillion limit since they are a lot of players that have passed it in my game
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
I can’t get it to work.
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
I tried a solution from dev forum but i didn’t understand it. i just want to add only to get past the number limit.

Here is THE SCRIPT:

Could you put ``` around your script so that it is easier to read?

jasper53682 · April 12, 2024, 6:00pm

Here are some steps you can take to make this work:

Modify your data handling functions to work with strings or arrays of smaller numbers.
Implement functions for arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) on these custom data types.
Update your leaderboard display functions to handle these custom data types and display them correctly.

Fierizzzz · April 12, 2024, 6:02pm

can you do this because it’s complicated for me

stef0206 · April 12, 2024, 6:05pm

The suggestion made by @jasper53682 is the proper way to achieve this.
If you want to skip implementing this yourself, consider using pre-existing modules like Kdude’s InfiniteMath

Den_vers · April 12, 2024, 6:10pm

You could save it as a string value instead, and whenever you need to change it, make it a number. I’m not sure what the limit on arithmetic is in script though.

Doomcolp · April 12, 2024, 6:13pm

You can do what everyone suggested above or you could use

Scientific Notation

It’s the stuff you see like:

1e

Den_vers · April 12, 2024, 6:15pm

I’m pretty sure this isn’t a valid scientific notation, I think a better example would be:

9.223e+18

jasper53682 · April 12, 2024, 6:15pm

I am not able to do this at the moment, but could always watch tutorials on how to implement strings into scripts.
