How to add a "k" after coins reach a thousand

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hi

How do I add a “K” to my coins if they reach a thousand, so they show up as 1K and not 1000

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

while wait() do
	script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = ""..Player.leaderstats.Money.Value
end

try doing an if statement if the player reaches 1000+. Hope this helps :smiley:

#3 
local u1 = {"", 'K', "M", "B", "T", "Qa", "Qi", "Sx", "Sp", "Oc", "No", "Dc"}
function v1(p1)
	for v2 = 1, #u1 do
		if tonumber(p1) < 10 ^ (v2*3) then
			return math.floor(p1/(10^((v2-1)*3)/100))/100 .. u1[v2]
		end
	end
end

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
while wait() do
	script.Parent.TextLabel.Text  = v1(player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Money.Value)
end

This should do it. I don’t understand half of it, but it works perfectly

Don’t forget the end or else that’ll constantly error if you don’t put end after do, then (Except elseif), (function(ANY_NAME) and local function YOUR_NAME_HERE_TO_THE_FUNCTION().

local u1 = {"", 'K', "M", "B", "T", "Qa", "Qi", "Sx", "Sp", "Oc", "No", "Dc"}
function v1(p1)
	for v2 = 1, #u1 do
		if tonumber(p1) < 10 ^ (v2*3) then
			return math.floor(p1/(10^((v2-1)*3)/100))/100 .. u1[v2]
		end
	end
end

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
while wait() do
	script.Parent.TextLabel.Text  = v1(player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Money.Value)
end

Edit: He edited the script to in final, add the missing end after “while wait() do”.

#5

the while wait would lag the script just do

script.Parent.TextLabel:GetPropertyChangegSignal('Text'):Connect(function)

        then format code

end)
#6

So What would the full script look like?

#7

While wait do is bad practice as wait is deprecated and replaced with task.wait and theres a chance (apparently) wait/task.wait can return nil stopping the while loop
You should instead do while true do and at the end of the code put task.wait()

#8

What would it look like the code?

#9

That is the full script. Just add that function in ur code

#10

it would be

local u1 = {"", 'K', "M", "B", "T", "Qa", "Qi", "Sx", "Sp", "Oc", "No", "Dc"}
function v1(p1)
	for v2 = 1, #u1 do
		if tonumber(p1) < 10 ^ (v2*3) then
			return math.floor(p1/(10^((v2-1)*3)/100))/100 .. u1[v2]
		end
	end
end

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.TextLabel:GetPropertyChangegSignal('Text'):Connect(function)
	script.Parent.TextLabel.Text  = v1(player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Money.Value)
end)
#11

I get this underline rror:

#12

actually it would be:

local u1 = {"", 'K', "M", "B", "T", "Qa", "Qi", "Sx", "Sp", "Oc", "No", "Dc"}
function v1(p1)
	for v2 = 1, #u1 do
		if tonumber(p1) < 10 ^ (v2*3) then
			return math.floor(p1/(10^((v2-1)*3)/100))/100 .. u1[v2]
		end
	end
end

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

player:WaitForChild('leaderstats').Money.Changed:Connect(function()
       script.Parent.TextLabel.Text  = v1(player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Money.Value)
end)

Yeah while wait() do is like 1/30 second, and while task.wait() do is instant.

So we can do:

while task.wait(1/30) or task.wait(0.033333333333333333333333333333333) do
-- Anything
end

But the best way to do it probably:

while task.wait(1/30) do
--Anything you want to put, here.
end

Oh, I know why.

local u1 = {"", 'K', "M", "B", "T", "Qa", "Qi", "Sx", "Sp", "Oc", "No", "Dc"}
function v1(p1)
	for v2 = 1, #u1 do
		if tonumber(p1) < 10 ^ (v2*3) then
			return math.floor(p1/(10^((v2-1)*3)/100))/100 .. u1[v2]
		end
	end
end

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.TextLabel:GetPropertyChangegSignal('Text'):Connect(function()
	script.Parent.TextLabel.Text  = v1(player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Money.Value)
end)

Sorry for spam.

HI, Are you certain? I just want to be 100% sure

#16

yes that is what I use in a formater

#17

while loops are bad in general as they can make so much lag so only really use them if necessary
