I'm making a game with very high leveling capabilities and the lenth of the xp displayed is getting out of hand lol.

I was thinking of a way to code this, making an existing number display 100k, 1m, 1b, 1T, ect as you level

perhaps if xp is larger than 100,000 somehow take the 1st 3 numbers from xp and display that as 100k but im not sure how to go about that. any suggestions welcome, thank you!

One way you could do it is utilize log10() to find the number of digits of a number.
Var number Var d Set d to int(log10(number)/3) Set text to int(number/10^(d*3)*100)/100 & mid(" kmbt", d, 1)

So something like 123456789 would result in 123.45m. It works up to the trillions (t) but to handle higher numbers you’d have to add to the text in the mid expression.
