Unit Health Short Value Help

[Sweetsour]

The following code is from the ElvUI math.lua file. I've slightly altered it from showing decimal points to not showing them. However, I want to show decimal points for numbers less than 10 million, and higher than 1 million.

I'm having a strange issue with it. When I target a mob that has 1,467,810 HP, it properly displays 1.5m. However, when I target a mob that has 29,356,200 HP, it displays 3m, when it should display 30m.

function E:ShortValue(v)
	if v >= 1e9 then
		return ("%.fb"):format(v / 1e9):gsub("%.?+([kmb])$", "%1")
	elseif v >= 1e7 then
		return ("%.fm"):format(v / 1e7):gsub("%.?+([kmb])$", "%1")
	elseif abs(v) >= 1e6 then
		return format("%.1fm", v / 1e6)
	elseif v >= 1e3 or v <= -1e3 then
		return ("%.fk"):format(v / 1e3):gsub("%.?+([kmb])$", "%1")
	else
		return v
	end
end

I figured it out. I had to change the "1e7" in "format(v / 1e7)" to "1e6"

First of all, to remove the decimal point, you just need to modify the format specifier %.f to either %.0f or %d. Though the way your current modification is implemented, it doesn't cover "k" or "b" numbers.



I've been using a function like this for formatting network speeds and memory. I've modified it to work to your specifications.

local Suffixes={[0]="","k","m","b"};
local function FormatNumber(val)
    local exp=math.max(math.floor(math.log10(math.abs(val))),0);
    local factor=math.min(math.floor(exp/3),#Suffixes);
    return ("%."..(exp==factor*3 and 1 or 0).."f%s"):format(val/(1000^factor),Suffixes[factor]);
end
