    perfectly done. Quick, direct, straight to the point and simple. No extras, no explanation of extreme basics (how to create a comp, etc), no discussion of what you read on fakebook today or what you had for lunch, just a quick fast tutorial. Anyone who wants to make tutorials online, PAY ATTENTION! This is how it's done. Thank you!

    If you want it to have 2 decimal points, change the code to:
    n = effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
    d = 100;
    Math.round(n*d)/d

    • @plixplop
      @plixplop 2 роки тому +4

      Thanks you just saved me another 20 minutes of searching forums!
      And you can change how many decimal places by changing d to 10, 100, 1000 etc. The number of 0s is how many decimal places.
