How to keep only one decimal place?

Hi everyone,

I have just recently started learning how to script in Roblox, and it has been great! However, I have a slight issue when I display a variable on a player’s GUI. Instead of displaying: “Orbs now spawn every 2.5 seconds”, it displays “Orbs now spawn every 2.500000 seconds.”

The code runs completely fine, it’s more of a visual issue. Is there any way to limit the number of decimal places that are displayed? I simply do not have any solutions to this personally, and the only info i could find online was rounding decimal places, so I’m sorry if this question has been asked as I could not find it.

Screenshot in-game:

Here’s the code for the GUI, I’m sorry if my code is horrible, I’m still learning:

if _G.goaltouched == true then
		if _G.timer <= 1 then
			_G.timer -= 0.1
			local text = "%s has touched the goal! Orbs now spawn every %f seconds"
			label.Text = string.format(text, _G.playername, _G.timer)
			_G.goaltouched = false
		else
			_G.timer -= 0.5
			local text = "%s has touched the goal! Orbs now spawn every %f seconds"
			label.Text = string.format(text, _G.playername, _G.timer)
			_G.goaltouched = false
		end
		
	end

Thank you! Any help is appreciated.

Use %.1f instead of %f in your format string
