Consistent Variable Number

Hi there,

Is it possible to make a variable number always have the exact same amount of digits in it including 0's and decimals.

For example, I want a variable that begins as 25.0 and counts down at a regular interval by 0.1. I want it to always have 2 numbers and 1 decimal place.

So it might be 22.2, or 05.3 etc.

Thanks in advance.

I haven't tried it. When you make a variable and do like that, does it say that it isn't possible?

I don't think thats possible.

But why do you need that ?

I'm taking the values of each digit and applying it to a sprites frame number.

At the moment if the value goes below 10.0 it loses the first digit and messes up my sprites.

Will this help?

zeropad(number, digits)

Pad number out to a certain number of digits by adding zeroes in front of the number, then returning the result as a string. For example, zeropad(45, 5) returns the string "00045".

That will help a lot. Thanks for that!
