What is the best way to make a Currency Label

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

ive done that but still nothing

#22

it must work just fine, do you have any errors in the output?

#23

Is you leaderstats script spelled Leaderstats or leaderstats?
because that makes a difference

#24

if understand the .changed function you know that it only shows when the Cash value changes so when you first join nothing is being changed so it does not show on the label

#25

you can just do

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local YourCurrency = player.leaderstats.Coins
local YourTextLabel = script.Parent
YourTextLabel.Text = YourCurrency.Value
YourCurrency.Changed:Connect(function(val)
YourTextLabel.Text = val
end)
#26

you are showing the same code nothing is showing WHEN i join

#27

its not the same code.

the TextLabel will change once the player joins,
also ru using a localscript or a serverscript?
and do you have any errors?

#28

oh sorry i didnt see the extra line

#29

Did you try all of our suggestions?

Here is a working way:



local abbreviations = {
	N = 10^30;
	O = 10^27;
	Sp = 10^24;
	Sx = 10^21;
	Qn = 10^18;
	Qd = 10^15;
	T = 10^12;
	B = 10^9;
	M = 10^6;
	K = 10^3
}


--//Functions

local function formatNumber(n)
	n = tostring(n)
	return n:reverse():gsub("...","%0,",math.floor((#n-1)/3)):reverse()
end

local function abbreviateNums(number)
	local abbreviatedNum = number
	local abbreviationChosen = 0
	for abbreviation, num in pairs(abbreviations) do
		if number >= num and num > abbreviationChosen then
			local shortNum = number / num
			local intNum = math.floor(shortNum)
			abbreviatedNum = tostring(intNum) .. abbreviation .. "+"
			abbreviationChosen = num
		end
	end
	return abbreviatedNum
end

--'Level' is your stat
if Level.Value < 100000 then --you could change this
	LevelText.Text = formatNumber(Level.Value)
else
	LevelText.Text = abbreviateNums(Level.Value)"
end

The first function would result you:
Say we have 50000 gold, it’d return 50,000

The second function would make it 50k
