There was a nice tutorial on this link of how to animate text and make it change over time based on distance between 2 objects.

Does anyone know how to pad the numbers so any numbers below 10 a zero is added in front of it.?
The code needs to be added in the expression window to the first line i believe and Iam not sure how it can be done if at all.
the tut is short if you decide watch it
thanks for any help.
See formattedPrint in the maxscript reference.
If you are on a recent version of 3ds Max, you can use the TextPlus object and avoid all this.
But if you want to do it the scripted way, just use
formattedPrint val format:“02d”
to get a 2-padding (01,02,03…09,10,11) or
formattedPrint val format:“04d”
to get a 4-padding
