How do I make something like 1,000,000 turn into 1M in my game?

I have an idle game where numbers get really big. Because of this, numbers go off screen and overlap other text. How do I make big numbers 1ike 1,000,000 go into 1M or a billion into 1B and so on.

Hey there! I tried this exactly as you did, and then again as "per tick" and it still doesn't change the value. Is there something I am doing wrong? lol

Is your event sheet linked?

Yeah, I made sure to link it and everything. Not really sure what the issue could be.

Are you setting the right text object?

Double checked that and yeah it is the correct text that I am updating each time I kill an enemy. It updates just fine when I kill an enemy and adds the enemy currency value as it should, it just won't display what I want it to display...

This is what the enemy does on destroyed/killed

And like above, it should change that to /1000 if > 1000...

Do you have another event setting the text to the variable by itself?

I feel slightly stupid that I did not even think about that. It works now, thanks! Now I just need to make it display 1.1a for 1,100 xD

Time to dust off an old cp3 of mine. This should help you do what you want :

Thank you, I'll see if I can understand it.

Thanks all of you.

Wait, this doesn't work exactly. If I, say, have 1.568M coins, and then I spend it on something, the numbers goes like 1.432575234M. Do you know a way to fix this?

This didn't work for me at all. Back to the drawing board...

You can use the float(left(number,digits)) expressions to truncate a number. Or you can multiply by 1000, round(), then divide by 1000 to round to the nearest thousandth.
