How to get a slider value to stay to 2 decimal places in a text layer?
I’m using sliders to input values for ‘Source text’ in text layers.
I want to have the text display a value to 2 demimal places: I.E. “1.20” and NOT “1.2”
Any ideas guys?
Thanx 🙂

Like this:
thisComp.layer(“other layer”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”).value.toFixed(2)

Thanks for this info,
How would I get it to show any numbers besides zeros after the decimal? For example: 1.86-9.63 instead of 1.00-9.00 -
That’s what it does. If the slider is set to 1.6578, the expression should display 1.66. Maybe I’m not understanding the question.

hmm… yeah, that’s what I thought the expression was as well. When I apply the expression, I only get zeros after the decimal. Maybe I’m just doing something wrong.

I’m assuming the slider value has something other than zeros, is that correct?
-
No, it is only showing zeros after the decimal. Sorry, I should have clarified that.

The text layer is only going to show zeros if the slider is parked on a whole number. Have you tried setting the slider to some other value?

Ok, I figured it out. When a slider is on a solid it only has zeros after the decimal. If it’s on a text layer it has all the numbers after the decimal.
