Time Remaining: String Formatting

I made a little counter for time remaining to level ends in my game. I can't upload it now, but the example consists only in:

1. Add a Text on layout;

2. Add a global variable like "secondsToPlay" and set a number of seconds, for example 150 for 2 minutes and a half, or 120 to 2 minutes on Event Sheet;

3. Add Event: System > Every 1 second(s);

• 3.1. Add Action > Text > "Time Remaining: " & Floor(secondsToPlay/60) & ":" & Floor(secondsToPlay%60)
• 3.2. Add Action > System > Subtract 1 from secondsToPlay;

The counter will start: 2:0 - 1:59 - 1:58 - ... - 1:9 - n

The problem is: As you can see, I don't know how I can put a zero left on numbers to have this visual representation: 02:00 - 01:59 - 01:58 - ... - 01:09 - n.

In programming languages, for example, we can format the outputed string like: print "Missiles: %02" % numberOfMissiles and obtain a plain text like: "Missiles: 003".

From now on, the question is obvious: "How can I do this with Construct 2?", how can I format my string? Or... if anyone has a better way to do this...

Thanks in advance.

time<10 ?"0"&time :time

Probably a few other ways as well.

C2 has the ZeroPad function? If so, use ZeroPad(secondsToPlay,2)

well

right("00"&seconds,2)

Thank you, about the ZeroPad function, returns a error on r75: "Unknow Expression 'ZeroPad'", but the "right" function works well.

Very good information for the formatting of time. You just do not know this automatically. I used it in an educational game where students have to set an analog clock and it syncs and displays in a digital clock and it works perfectly.
