  Combining 2 Expressions

  Posted by Patrick Schmid on February 6, 2023 at 11:39 pm

  Hi,

  im doing a a UI animation and i have to deal with a lot of numbers over 1.000.000

  so i tried to make a counter with a point Control which worked fine.

  but i also need the possibility of decimals…?

  with the second Expression i try to to change the font.

  can anybody please help me combine these two + the extra with the decimals 🙂

   

  1st Expression:

  num = Math.round(effect(“Point Control”)(“Point”)[0]);

  function addCommas(x) {

  return x.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g,”,”);

  }

  addCommas(num)

   

  2nd Expression:

  var fontArray=[

  “BerninaSansOffc-Regular”,

  “DTFlowTextV1.011-Regular”

  ]

  v=Math.round(thisComp.layer(“Null 19”).effect(“Font CTRL”)(“Slider”))

  style.setFont(fontArray[v]);

  You can add decimal by supplementing your expression by “.toFixed(X)” where X is number of decimals.

  Once you change the font, you need to “.setText(YOUR_TEXT_VARIABLE)” in the style expression

  toFixed was what I was thinking too. Don’t need to round.
