make the float value always 4 digits

[Juzwa]

Hi, 

 

I have some animated parameter from some channel and I use it on the font SOP to display it's value in the viewport.

 

How do I make this value to be always a 3 or 4 digit? eg: 

 

- when the value is 0 i want to display 000

- when the value is 5.6663562 5.66

- when the value is 100 i want 100

E.g. with hexpression (but this example works only for positive numbers):

{
in = fit01(fit($F,1,100,0,1),0.0,150.0);    # input data
digits = 4;                                 # digits to display
d = digits-strlen(int(in));
mult = 10^d;
out = int(in*mult)/mult;                    # adjust tenths values
return ifs(out==0,padzero(digits,out),out); # fix for 0
}

Hi, 

 

Sorry for such late response. 

 

Thank you so much. But I'm having some problems. Your example works fine. But when I copy/paste the code to the font SOP I get the code itself, it does not evaluate, how do I make it to evaluate in the font?

 

EDIT: Ok found it > edit expression, then paste and hit apply. Thank you so much!
