[Solved] Countdown timer that always shows decimals

So i have a variable Time with a starting value of 30 and every 0.1 seconds it subtracts 0.1 and updates the text of a sprite font but there is a problem: every time the value hits an even number the text shows no decimals. I want the text to be like: 30.0 29.9 29.8 29.7 --> 29.1 29.0 Not like the way it is now: 30 29.9 29.8 29.7 --> 29.1 29

I have tried all kinds of solutions that i can think of using zeropad(), find(), left(), right() and so on but nothing works.

If someone have a confirmed working way to acheive this please share, it would be greatly appreciated!

have you tried something like "Float" system expression?

Yes but I could not get it to work. It seems that any float that ends with a .o is automaticly changed into an int.

Try this:

Set value to (int(value*10/10)

(this is to remove any possible digits after 1 decimal, as sometimes float numbers are displayed like 5.300000000009)

Set text to str(value) & (int(value)=value ? ".0" : "")

(this will add ".0" if the value is integer)

Me neither. But this works:

Global number count = 300

+ System: Every 0.1 seconds
-> System: Subtract 1 from count

----+ System: count%10 = 0
-----> Text: Set text to int(count÷10)&".0"

----+ System: Else
-----> Text: Set text to count÷10

I cant get it to work with floats so i have do divide in the textbox.

Try this:

Set value to (int(value*10/10)

(this is to remove any possible digits after 1 decimal, as sometimes float numbers are displayed like 5.300000000009)

Set text to str(value) & (int(value)=value ? ".0" : "")

(this will add ".0" if the value is integer)

Thanks for the reply but when I try it decimals never shows at all

Sorry, missed one bracket, also change "int" to "round":

Set value to (round(value*10)/10)

Set text to str(value) & (int(value)=value ? ".0" : "")

Still doesn't work, now the timer value is always set 30.

Yep That works, just got to remember if I want a 50 sec timer I need to set it to 500. Thanx for helping!

It works for me:

I could swear I did it the same way but obviously I didn't because this time your method works.

My most humble apologies, and a big thanks for the help <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">
