Hi everyone,

I am currently using "Time: " & floor(Timer / 60 % 60) & "m" & floor(Timer % 60) & "s" to display a time readout in game. I would like the time to be formated like 00:00 instead of 0:0.

I have tried zeropad, but the results were a little unexpected.

Could anyone make any suggestions?

Thanks!

I had the same need and ended up customizing rex's date plugin.

The function is "FormatTimer" and it takes in milliseconds as an input.

There are other time formatters in there if you need a clock timer, instead of a countdown timer (which is what FormatTimer is for).

zeropad should work, maybe you did not use it correctly ?
"Time: " & zeropad(floor(Timer / 60 % 60),2) & "m" & zeropad(floor(Timer % 60),2) & "s"[/code:1f2qab3r]

You also could use:
"Time: " & right("00" & timer,2) & "m" & right("00" & timer,2)& "s"[/code:19mo87c1]
