This no longer works in version 11. I tried doing exactly how the sample is shown n n nope. I also downloaded your project and that's no bueno neither. Please help. Need to hide the 0 when it drops after a minute mark. 

Hello,

After a few hours of scrubbing through the forums, I couldn't find an answer. Hoping I didn't miss something glaringly obvious.

We are utilizing a ClockTimer Widget to count down from 15:00 to 0:00. I have it set to output in the "NN:SS" format. Once the timer reaches 9:59, a 0 appears in the first "N" slot. Ideally, we would display the clock as "9:59" rather than "09:59. The same happens when we get below a minute, as it displays "00:59" instead of ":59".

There doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this through visual logic, but perhaps there's a scripting solution available?

Open to any and all ideas.

Hey Alejandro!

In the bottom screen in your image, you can see that the "Continuous Animation & Other Effects diamond" (blue diamond that's 4 items to the right of the visual logic icon on the designer viewport) isn't selected, meaning that Visual Logic isn't running on your designer scene. (It will still run when being output). Try turning that on to see if there's any difference, and if it's not already on, in your Visual Logic editor, go to View and turn on show block values or something to that effect.

Thank you for the reply, but I have tried it with having the Continuous Animation on and off and it doesn't work in the editor nor on program. I had seen (maybe on another post) another user tried the same steps and it wasn't working for that operator neither. I feel that something change in Xpression.

Alejandro,

From your screenshots, it looks like you're in Version 11.0 build 5650. I tested this scene out and found the same behavior. Looks like the Widget isn't updating the original text object (Text1) when it's hidden. Turning on the visibility of the text object makes the widget time work again.

Only way I found to make this work is to keep Text1 visible, but assign it a font with a 0% alpha face. XPression will still render the text, so the widget countdown will apply to the object, but it won't be visible in your scene.

Just make sure to keep the text object inside the viewport, otherwise, the widget will stop counting again.

Tested in 12.0 and found the same behavior.

Type the format in the widge as N:SS


This will solve your first 0 as it will format like this. 


You'll still have the leading "0" like this though


To remove the other "0" takes a little more work but can be solved with visual logic. 

You can use 2 text blocks like so

Then use visual logic to connect it up like so. 

Then hide the text box that is linked to the widget and you will only see the correct timer. 




I have attached a project with the template in.

Alejandro,

From your original post, your Visual Logic should have worked as long as your Clock text object (the one linked to the widget) was visible in the viewport.

If you're not getting any value out of the input selector, which could be why your Text1 or Text2 number disappeared, it's likely that the incoming Index value didn't match any of the input values. You mentioned changing the Index Offset Value to 1. The Equal To function block will return either a 0 or 1, so if there isn't an input at value 0, and the Equal To block is returning false, you won't get a value out of the Input Selector.

One thing that could help to troubleshoot is going to View->Show Block Values. That selection, along with turning on Active Rendering in the viewport (blue diamond  icon or F12) should allow you to see the values of each of your Visual Logic blocks as they change, not just the numbers you put in the description.

I've tried this and it doesnt work yet. I am not using a widgets, im using dashboard created timer. In sequncer i have the timer info going to thext 1 and 2 but under 1 min the 0 doesnt go away. Am I missing a step?

Hello,

After a few hours of scrubbing through the forums, I couldn't find an answer. Hoping I didn't miss something glaringly obvious.

We are utilizing a ClockTimer Widget to count down from 15:00 to 0:00. I have it set to output in the "NN:SS" format. Once the timer reaches 9:59, a 0 appears in the first "N" slot. Ideally, we would display the clock as "9:59" rather than "09:59. The same happens when we get below a minute, as it displays "00:59" instead of ":59".

There doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this through visual logic, but perhaps there's a scripting solution available?

Open to any and all ideas.

I've tried this and it doesnt work yet. I am not using a widgets, im using dashboard created timer. In sequncer i have the timer info going to thext 1 and 2 but under 1 min the 0 doesnt go away. Am I missing a step?

Alejandro,

From your screenshots, it looks like you're in Version 11.0 build 5650. I tested this scene out and found the same behavior. Looks like the Widget isn't updating the original text object (Text1) when it's hidden. Turning on the visibility of the text object makes the widget time work again.

Only way I found to make this work is to keep Text1 visible, but assign it a font with a 0% alpha face. XPression will still render the text, so the widget countdown will apply to the object, but it won't be visible in your scene.

Just make sure to keep the text object inside the viewport, otherwise, the widget will stop counting again.

Tested in 12.0 and found the same behavior.

What is your exact XPression version and build number? 

Ex. 11.5 build 5814

Thank you for the reply, but I have tried it with having the Continuous Animation on and off and it doesn't work in the editor nor on program. I had seen (maybe on another post) another user tried the same steps and it wasn't working for that operator neither. I feel that something change in Xpression.

Hey Alejandro!

In the bottom screen in your image, you can see that the "Continuous Animation & Other Effects diamond" (blue diamond that's 4 items to the right of the visual logic icon on the designer viewport) isn't selected, meaning that Visual Logic isn't running on your designer scene. (It will still run when being output). Try turning that on to see if there's any difference, and if it's not already on, in your Visual Logic editor, go to View and turn on show block values or something to that effect.

This no longer works in version 11. I tried doing exactly how the sample is shown n n nope. I also downloaded your project and that's no bueno neither. Please help. Need to hide the 0 when it drops after a minute mark.
