Another data type in leaderboard

Hi, I need to use a different data type for leaderboards rather than an integer. My goal is to store times for the fastest time in my game. Due to these times being very small it would have to be a number like 0.523, or 3.122. Is there a way to store this statistic another way so it doesn't have to be an integer? I thought about using player read only data however it doesn't work itself into leaderboards like statistics do. Thank you.

Hey, Statistics are indeed uint32 values and there is no other data type for now. However, you could try to use a smaller unit, for example, assume that 0.523 means 0.523 seconds, then 0.523 seconds equal to 523 milliseconds, 523000 nanoseconds and so on. In this way, you should be able to store your statistics properly.
