[SOLVED] Change timer display to "099" instead of "99"

[MiguelPescado]

Why isn't this code more efficient?

I’m pretty sure you can just do this with string manipulations? StrRepeat("0",(6 - StrLength(GlobalVariableString(Score)))) + GlobalVariableString(Score) This basically says "Add 0s to the front of GlobalVariableString(Score) based on how many characters less than 6 the score is. So you’d have 1 event of “Score < 100000” | Change the text of Score: set to (above expression) Then you’d have one of “Score >= 100000” | Change the text of Score: Set to GlobalVariableString(Score) Also, the even…

Is there any way to utilize this with a timer? I already have a code for counting the displayed timer down by 1 every 0.4 (two-fifths of a second), thanks to @MrMen:

ToString(round(max(0, 400 - (TimerElapsedTime("TIME_COUNT")* 2.5))))

but I need to be able to display it so that 99 seconds shows as “099” and 9 seconds shows as “009” without messing up the countdown code.

I’m very much not a coder, nor do I know the first thing about string manipulations so any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Assign that code I gave to scene text variable called countdownText.

Then set the text object (I’ve called mine CountDownTimer, and it’s the one that displays the countdown time on screen) to StrRepeat("0",(3 - StrLength(VariableString(CountDownTimer)))) + VariableString(CountDownTimer)

Using the method you’ve quoted, it looks like:

Holy moly, it worked! Thank you so, SO much!
