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;
}

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;
}

I was betting on you to answer Dan.
Of course that worked!

Don’t you guys consider this type of short/basic threads a kinda waste of cyberspace?

It would be great if there was a full scripting dictionary that merely lists keywords in alphabetical order and a few words describing what they do. Like the material you get if you search for “Javascript functions” or “full PHP keyword reference”.

Does anybody know of anything like that?
