how to make a 4.500.000 number counter??
Posted by Daniel Persson on February 13, 2017 at 4:47 pmI read around and I can only find tutorials with commas, or other weird stuff. I need dots + 7 digits for my counter.
4.500.000 is the number I need to count up to.Richard Garabedain replied 9 years, 3 months ago 4 Members · 6 Replies -

February 13, 2017 at 5:36 pmyou can likely use the expressonthat you have, but find the “,” and change it to “.”
here’s a really good ‘universal’ counter: https://motionscript.com/design-guide/counter.html
but you’ll want to change this line:
outStr += “,” + s.substr(-i*3,3);
to:
outStr += “.” + s.substr(-i*3,3);
to make the commas into periods.

February 13, 2017 at 5:40 pmShould it pad with zeroes? In other words, should it start as
A) 0
or B) 0.000.000Walter Soyka

February 13, 2017 at 7:00 pmit kinda works but it leaves a dot in the end which looks weird, and the the way the numbers jump around doesn’t make it look very nice overall for a case/presentation.

February 13, 2017 at 7:02 pmit should stay centered and go up, basically just what looks nice and cosistent. But i might have to drop it as I have a very close deadline.

February 13, 2017 at 7:08 pmThe jumping is a function of what typeface you’re using. You might consider using a monospaced typeface to keep it rock-steady.

February 14, 2017 at 10:46 pmhis answer of padding it with zeroes is the best way…stat with 000000000 and count up so no number jumping
