How to add alphabets inside an IntValue or NumberValue on leaderboard/leaderstats

#1

Hello! i’ve been workin on sometin and i need help with IntValue/NumberValue i want to add Text Besides it for Example

Here

instead of 100,000 i want to add “K” so it will be : “100K” i dont think StringValue will help me with changing Value as Int or NumberValue

if it was on text label i’d do

--// First insert Local Script inside TextLabel
local T1 = script.Parent --// here will be Text u changing 
local T2 = script.Parent.StringValue --// make sure that String.Value is K
local T3 = script.Parent.IntValue --// put here 100 or any number u want
while wait() do
T1.Text = T3.Value..(T2.Value)
end

Here’s the Results of that code

You can’t, but you can turn an intvalue/numbervalue into a string using tostring().

by any chance, may u please give me a short example on how to use that? i’ll be pleased :pray:t2: :pray:t2:

Yes, of course.

local numValue = 5
print(tostring(numValue).." Coins")

^
That example will print “5 Coins”. You have to use tostring if you want both numbers and other symbols in one value.

Can’t, it has to be a StringValue. The leaderboard should only be used for display, not as your actual data set. Store the real data value elsewhere and use the leaderboard to show the cash count with an abbreviation. Ways to abbreviate the number are available around the DevForum if you search it up.

What your looking for is number abbreviations right?, you could probably search this up and probably should (as it’s a good practice) but here is an example of how you can abbreviate numbers :

function Abbreviate(N,Sign , Decimals, Ab) --N is the number, sign any string after our number,Decimals are the amount of zero before the decimal, Ab is the  Abbreviations 
	if Ab == nil then
		
 Ab = { ---- Abbreviations 
	
	K = 4,
	M = 7,
	B = 10,
	Qa = 13,
	
	
	
}
	end
	
	
local text = tostring(math.floor(N))

local CurrentAb

for A, D in pairs(Ab) do
	if A then
		if #text >= D and #text < (D + 3) then
			CurrentAb = A
			break
		end
	end
end

if CurrentAb then
	local digits = Ab[CurrentAb]
	local rounded = math.floor(N/ 10 ^ (digits -2 )) * 10 ^ (digits -2)
	 if Decimals then
	  text = Sign..string.format("%."..Decimals.."f" , rounded/10 ^(digits -1) )..CurrentAb
	else
	text = Sign..string.format("%.0f", rounded/10 ^(digits -1) )..CurrentAb
	end
else
	text = Sign..N
end

  return text
	
end


print(Abbreviate(5451, "", 0)) -- this would print 55K, because there are no zeros
print(Abbreviate(5451, "", 1)) -- this would print 54.5K

This is where you can find the tutorial on this (i changed it a little but it’s similar):

Tysm for that solution i really appreciate it that saved my time to figure how to abbreviate numbers with toastring().
