show decisecond when timer is at one second

Hello,

usually I write something like %.1f instead of %d to get it to show one decimalpoint.

But I want to make it so that it only turns to decimalpoint when the timer is at one (1) second.

so 3, 2, 1 ,0.9, 0.8. 0.7 etc.

Is there a simple solution to make this happen?

Thank you.

just string.format(val >= 1 and "%d" or "%.1f", val))

Ok, I tried to find a code for the default buff/debuff frames to put it together.

Found this:

Code:

function AuraButton_UpdateDuration(auraButton, timeLeft)

        local duration = auraButton.duration;

        if ( SHOW_BUFF_DURATIONS == "1" and timeLeft ) then

                duration:SetFormattedText(SecondsToTimeAbbrev(timeLeft));

                if ( timeLeft < BUFF_DURATION_WARNING_TIME ) then

                        duration:SetVertexColor(1,1,1);

                else

                        duration:SetVertexColor(1,1,1);

                end

                duration:Show();

        else

                duration:Hide();

        end

end

I am unsure how to use string.format in this case.:confused:

I've inserted the suggested code where it is likely to do what you want. Give that a go. This link points out the similarities between SetFormattedText and string.format. https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/API...tFormattedText

                duration:Show();

        else

                duration:Hide();

        end

end

seems to work fine.

Thank you :)
