Leading zero and decimal in slider control

[erickdau]

I'm trying to increase a number from 0 to 49.3 with slider control, but I need it to keep the decimal 0 on integers, and to add a leading 0 from 0 to 9. I've tried many expressions, and noticed that the leading number works if its anything but 0, for example, if I try to add "20" to the string on the condition < 10, it will add the 20, but it won't add the "0". 

As for the integers decimal, I really couldn't make it work, even using expressions marked as 'solutions' on the forum. I wonder if the newer versions of AE changed something. 

Anyone can help?

Thanks!

"0" + effect("Slider Control")(1)

// 9 => 09
// 20 => 020

isn't enough?

Not quite, I need it from 0 to 10 only - for which I can make an if statement, but still, the zero won't show up. If I put any other value, it will show before the numbers, but not the "0". Is that normal??

Thanks for trying!!

From 0 to 9:

val = effect("Slider Control")(1);
val < 10 ? "0" + val : val

Same problem! Works with anything else but "0"... I'm thinking of other ways of presenting the numbers...

It works with 0

[erickdau]

Yeah, I know it should. I guess it's an issue with my AE...

Same result using padStart() ?

val = effect("Slider Control")(1);
[integerPart, decimalPart] = val.toString().split('.');
paddedInteger = integerPart.padStart(2, '0');
decimalPart ? `${paddedInteger}.${decimalPart}` : paddedInteger;

[erickdau]

Yeah, same result... =( 

Thanks for all the effort!

It might be helpful if you posted a screen shot showing the expression and the incorrect result.
