global leaderboard caps at 9.2Qn

[pastel hollow]

so i'm using a model since i've tried multiple youtube tutorials for global leaderboards myself which all didn't work and it seems to work fine and all but unfortunately the amount caps at 9.2Qn meanwhile the value is way more than that.

script:

local statsName = "Cash"
local maxItems = 100
local minValueDisplay = 1
local maxValueDisplay = 10e30
local abbreviateValue = true

    Default = Color3.fromRGB(38, 50, 56),

    Bronze = Color3.fromRGB(205, 127, 50)

[sharp elbow]

oh change it to a NumberValue and

[pastel hollow]

numbervalue? what do i change to a numbervalue?

[sharp elbow]

so what ever it is since a IntValue Stops at 1e64
NumberValue stops at 1e308
DoubleConstrainedValue starts at 0
minValue is 0 if u want to
maxValue is as much as u want it to be

[pastel hollow]

thats really confusing for me i dont know what u mean by that

[vague torrent]

** You are now Level 3! **

[sharp elbow]

so which part makes it stop at 9.2Qn

[pastel hollow]

i don't know i just did print("toHumanReadableNumber", num, #ABBREVIATIONS, index, front) and it stops at 9.2Qn somewhere even though the amount of Cash (numbervalue) i got is 800Oc

[sharp elbow]

lol im fixing some it but its going to take like a minute or 2

[pastel hollow]

alright take your time

[thick geode]

use formatted number

[pastel hollow]

what do you mean?

[sharp elbow]

its been a while

[thick geode]

Give me a sec

https://devforum.roblox.com/u/Blockzez

Ups

that link was not

[sharp elbow]

here is the Updated Script

[thick geode]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/311-formatnumber-a-module-for-formatting-numbers/527979/47

@pastel hollow with this you will avoid many headaches

[pastel hollow]

alright thanks

[thick geode]

https://youtu.be/wG1PpHssexs

[sharp elbow]

oh its really easy to do that without yt

[thick geode]

And a video in case you don't understand

[sharp elbow]

lol

[pastel hollow]

i tried the script it still says the same

[thick geode]

Xd

[sharp elbow]

well here is a much more simple version without doing Player Data stuff

function Divide(num, num1)
    return num / num1
end

function Add(num, num1)
    return num + num1
end

function Convert(num)
    local Suffix = {'', 'K', 'M', 'B'}
    local Suffix_Index = 1
    while num >= 1000 and Suffix_Index < #Suffix do
        num = Divide(num, 1000)
        Suffix_Index = Add(Suffix_Index, 1)
    end
    return string.format('%.2f', num) .. Suffix[Suffix_Index]
end

local Value = 10000
local TextLabel = script.Parent.TextLabel
while true do
    TextLabel.Text = Convert(Value)
    task.wait()
end```

[stone radish]

Alright

or

this happend to me before

[vague torrent]

** You are now Level 15! **

[stone radish]

let me read this

yeah sometimes it doesnt work even if you go to the toolbox and get a free model just try to understand it more

idk if the script above this worked if it doesnt ping me i can try to help

since leaderboards are a little conufsing sometimes

[pastel hollow]

im really confused

[stone radish]

Alright

so

the leaderboard

i have the same one as you

i just dont feeel like fixing it

but ik whats wrong LOL

[sharp elbow]

why there is no things on toolbox

[stone radish]

dont know

but

it caps at 9.2qn

which is

a lot of 0's

so i wont write that out

[pastel hollow]

yes

[stone radish]

BUT

thats the cap for int

so your currency

is a num value right

[pastel hollow]

yeah

[stone radish]

okay so

what ima do with you actly

is change the max number

at the top that says like 10e__

change that around to a low number

and see if ti works first

it*

like make it 5

and see if the script actually will work with a lower number

[pastel hollow]

well i mean it works but everyone above it dissapears

disappears

[stone radish]

ok

good

its fine if it does that

So now we know the script works

now we go into debugging

change it back

to a number u want

[pastel hollow]

okay

[stone radish]

like 10e60 or whatever it was at

Now

I have another abbreviating script

let me get it rq

[sharp elbow]

here u go

https://www.roblox.com/library/12495150932/SNotation

[stone radish]

Im trying it rn

[sharp elbow]

on that i made that goes to 1OcDc

[stone radish]

just also

use another leaderboard

this thing is crappy anyway

u can make a ebtter one

[pastel hollow]

okay

like the script?

[stone radish]

yeah

its bad

click on that

[stone radish]

get this

[pastel hollow]

i need u to help me with another one though bc ive tried multiple tutorials

[stone radish]

get that

its a model

[pastel hollow]

i got it

[stone radish]

scientific notaton

which is this

its lik 10^6

thats scientific notation

[sharp elbow]

but the one i have does both Converting

so the First one is 1e3 aka Notation
while the other is to convert Notation to Suffix

[stone radish]

yeah

I have that i believe aswell

dont know

[sharp elbow]

so its both in one

the math of the Exponents took a while

[stone radish]

true

[sharp elbow]

because each one was from 0 to 308

[pastel hollow]

now what do i do with that model

[sharp elbow]

just put it inside ReplicatedStorage

[pastel hollow]

i put them all in the things they should be

[sharp elbow]

lol its just one thing

[pastel hollow]

oh

uhm

can i just delete the screengui?

and do i delete the test script?

[sharp elbow]

ye that was a example thing i did so people understand the system

[pastel hollow]

wait

does this like take effect on all numbervalues?

[stone radish]

now im not gonna use it cus i allrdy have a system

but

when youre saving HUGE number

s

its really nice to have

[sharp elbow]

ues

[stone radish]

since its less prone to errors and crashes

and more

and data loss

[sharp elbow]

so u using it to lol

[stone radish]

kindaaaa

a different system

not like that

i can make my own

[pastel hollow]

i put like the same abbreviation script in every single part i need them values for

what do i do now for the leaderboard?

[stone radish]

I have that aswell

[sharp elbow]

oh lol i can give a Exponent BigNum but im still fixing the bugs

[stone radish]

LOL

rip

[sharp elbow]

its just only one part that is just to confusing like after i do the 1000De aka Ude but it converts to 1e36 then after that is 1e39
but once it reaches 1e999 it should convert to 1e1.00k
but still trying to do that part aka 1e1.00k

[pastel hollow]

can u help me

how do i apply those abbreviations to like every text i need it for

[sharp elbow]

so each text is ```lua
local Notation = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.SNotation)

then u can either create a LocalScript to handle all the Text or just into each Text

so is it short for the second function

so u can create a function to handle all the Textlua function UpdateText() while task.wait() do local x = Notation.short(num.Value) -- num is a example local x1 = Notation.short(num1.Value) TextLabel.Text = 'Coins: '..x TextLabel1.Text = 'Multi: '..x1 end end task.spawn(UpdateText)

[pastel hollow]

wait is it true that qd is 15 and qn is 17?

and thx btw

[sharp elbow]

yes so 0 is 0 then 3 is k then 6 is M

and so on

[pastel hollow]

why is the difference between qd and qn 2 and everything is 3

[sharp elbow]

9 is B 12 is T 15 is Qd 17 is Qn 20 is Sx 23 is Sp 26 is Oc 29 is No

[pastel hollow]

okay

[sharp elbow]

at one point i messed up on the exponent to the suffix which took me like 3 times to look over and redo the numbers
and then refix each suffix

[pastel hollow]

ah

[vague torrent]

** You are now Level 4! **

[pastel hollow]

btw what if i want there to be numbers after the decimal

[sharp elbow]

so u see the lua return string.format('%.0f')

[pastel hollow]

yes

[sharp elbow]

if it sayslua if number > 1000 then return string.format('%.0f',number)..suffixes[suffix_index] else return string.format('%.2f',number)..suffixes[suffix_index] end

a example but forgot what i put

so %.0f means 0 decimals if its like at 100
it just shows 100
then %.2f means 2 decimals just the same
but its 100.00
and not as 100
so if its over 1k it shows 1.00k instead of 1k

[pastel hollow]

ah okay

thank you

[sharp elbow]

ye

[pastel hollow]

uhm so i see 0M or 0K how do i fix that

[sharp elbow]

sometimes it does that

[pastel hollow]

can i fix that?

[sharp elbow]

dont know can u lol
but i dont know since i havent touched that script like about a month so i dont know

[stone radish]

ok

let me see

@pastel hollow

whats the problem now

[sharp elbow]

im hop on the the original to see what to fix

[stone radish]

alr

[pastel hollow]

i fixed it

but i just need help to make a whole new leaderboard script

[stone radish]

ok

just get a diff model or watch a tutorial

[pastel hollow]

can u recommend one

[sharp elbow]

well thats odd for me its showing this

[stone radish]

noah

[pastel hollow]

it only happens when u have a value in the 100 like 100 or 100B

[stone radish]

go to toolbox and search one up if u dont wanna watch a tutoprial

tutorial

[sharp elbow]

no toolboxes

[stone radish]

his old one

was from the toolbox

even IM USING IT

its good

but

its conufsing

thats why u shouldnt use it

just make one

[sharp elbow]

oh the Reason is because its in exponent form not Number form

[pastel hollow]

idk what that means but i just removed the + 1 after the exponent = exponent

[pastel hollow]

how did u manage to fix it though?

[sharp elbow]

so basically not since that will mess up the system

lol

[stone radish]

i didnt

LMAO

that leaderboards weird

i dont use it

you can make one

they aint hard to make

[sharp elbow]

https://www.roblox.com/library/12501861631/ModulesTo-Confusing

here is something that has a BigNum

[pastel hollow]

wdym

[sharp elbow]

and some modules that i made

so lets see 2 is what 100

[stone radish]

also how the hell do i do this

CommonEgg.chooseRandomPet = function(egg)
local randomNumber = math.random(1,10000)
print(randomNumber)
local counter = 0
for rarity, weight in pairs(egg["Rarities"]) do
counter = counter + weight
if randomNumber <= counter then

        local rarityTable = egg["Pets"][rarity]
        local chosenPet = rarityTable[math.random(1, #rarityTable)]
        
        return chosenPet
    end
end

end

sorry i didnt format but

egg aint nil

and i cant do egg.Rarities yet it exists under CommonEgg.rarities

whateva

[pastel hollow]

i really need help with a leaderboard script

[pastel hollow]

i give up bro

[thick geode]

what is the problem?@pastel hollow

[pastel hollow]

so i still have the same problem that the leaderboard caps at 9.2Qn

and i don't know how to make a new leaderboard

[stone radish]

DOG

get a free model

if you cant watch a tutorial

[pastel hollow]

which one

[strong latch]

OR create your OWN things....

[strong latch]

OR learn how to SCRIPT

[thick geode]

or watch a tutorial

[stone radish]

no

dont do any of those if it takes 3 hours

and u said u dont watch any tutorials

try to get help here

cus its been 5 hours

where u couldve learned it in 10 mins

[sharp elbow]

Worst thing to do

[sharp elbow]

No it takes me 2 minutes to write my own by hand

[stone radish]

He’s new rbi

Tho

[sharp elbow]

@civic flicker how to make that script

[pastel hollow]

i did but they dont seem to work

[pastel hollow]

Can you guys help me?

[stone radish]

Dog it’s been a day

They do work

The leaderboard tutorials

Or just get a free model

Less then twenty mins

[pastel hollow]

which tutorial or model do u recommend

[pastel hollow]

its saying an error now ive tried making a script

[thick geode]
