Right now, my score variable displays in a text object and is just the amount of the variable. Is there a way to get this to display where it always has a specific number of digits, using zeros as a placeholder until the score gets higher? For example:
This: 0000500
Instead of: 500
I’ve tried several ways to do this but it’s all very clunky and just adds tons of code, so I was hoping someone had some insight as to the proper/best way to do this.
I can think of using a second sprite, like how LED scoreboards do it - the zeroes on the front are dimmed until it’s used, which is good, but if you’re not using an LED-styled font covering up the other non-zero numbers will be a nightmare. Maybe you can hide the zeroes from that second, dimmed sprite depending on how much digits you have? (That may also be complicated, nonetheless)
I have a similar issue but quite different. I don’t want to show decimal or anything after decimal. Or may be just two digits after decimal.

I’d really appreciate help from the experts!
