Mainly cause I wanna emulate a digital clock, and try making visible timers. I have grown quite reliant on strings so I can make better scores or times and such.
I want-
10:07
not
10:7
Thank you for your time, the system I made relies on multiple counters using the Str$ function in selecting an alterable string. It tells the string to update constantly based on the values of the counter.
The following methods will turn 7 into 07 (without turning 77 into 077).
1. (Probably the easiest method). Use the Set Leading Zeros and N Digits After Decimal Point extension:
Use the Set Leading Zeroes expression, as shown below. As you can see, the first parameter is the input string, which in the above example is Str$(7). The second parameter is how many digits you want it to be (in your case, you want it to be 2 digits long):
2. The extensionless method. What this does is prefixes a "0" to your text, and then trims it to exactly 2 digits. So "77" becomes "077" then is immediately trimmed to "77". While "7" becomes "07" then remains untrimmed because it's already only 2 digits:
You can just type it, or find the expression here:
Although both methods are similar in length, the benefit of the extension method is that you don't need to remember how to formulate it. It also arguably makes your code a bit more readable in future, because the purpose of the code will become obvious as soon as you notice which extension it uses. Whereas when you look at Right$("0" + Str$(7), 2) in 18 months, you might not immediately recognise what it's for.
If you know Cpp then you can use printf or std::format to handle it. It's much easier than tweaking events in fusion.
Another extensionless method:
add the number to 100 so that it always has a zero in front, convert it to a string with Str$, then use Right$ to only pick the last two digits
edit: ah, didn't properly read the previous posts, this is basically the same as the Volnaiskra's second solution
ive done clocks many times; they way ive done it is like whats suggested above; tho i check the seconds; eg:
if seconds <10 then secondSTRING$=right$("0"+str$(seconds),2)
if seconds >=10 then secondSTRING$=str$(seconds)
same with minutes >59 - i set back to 0, and add the hour.. etc
time$= hoursSTRING$+":"+minutesSTRING$+":"+secondsSTRING$ <- these are just ALTstrings
seconds, minutes etc; are just hidden counters or a stored value.

check again plz
Worked for me! Nice!
Honestly though, I think this should just be something in fusion without having to recode it in Strings or at Least. Make it so the Digital clock can be over other object instead of being forced to the background, forcing users to use strings or counters to show the clock over graphics.
