Extra decimal places using math.floor expression

[Juan Bosnic]

Let ME talk about overcomplicating stuff…

Take a look at the expression below. It converts the rotation value, makes it a String, and evaluates if it has just one character to add a “0” accordingly.

That should help while somebody smarter thinks something simpler.

needleRot = Math.floor((thisComp.layer("needle wiggle").transform.rotation)/4.5) * 0.1
needleRot = needleRot.toString();

if (needleRot.length == 1){
needleRot + ".0";
} else {
needleRot;
}

Ok I screwed it. Wont help at all yet, but it’s a good starting point, I just misunderstood where you wanted the “0” to be.

Below is the corrected expression.

needleRot = (Math.floor(((thisComp.layer("needle wiggle").transform.rotation)/4.5)))*.01
needleRot = needleRot.toString();

if (needleRot.length == 3){
needleRot + "0";
} else {
needleRot;
}

This should do it:

n = (Math.floor(((thisComp.layer(“needle wiggle”).transform.rotation)/4.5)))*.01;
n.toFixed(2)

Thanks for the replies guys! I appreciate it. Dan’s expression worked perfectly!

When I add the n.toFixed portion to my expression I’m getting an error, I tried it on a random expression and it worked fine, but when I change the random expression for one driven by a slider I get the following message: Function n.toFixed is undefined.

Could anyone help me to correct the expression? I need it to go from 0 to 7.2.

Thanks.

n=(effect("Slider Control")("Slider"));
n.toFixed(2);

Try it this way:

n=(effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”)).value;
n.toFixed(2);

Thanks Dan! as usual it worked, also if you remove the n variable it works too, my final expression looks like this:

Thanks again.

effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value.toFixed(2);
