Timer Format Adjustment

Coding Python Support
1

I’m new to all this, but I needed a countdown timer and I found script that has worked for me, sort of.

It works exactly how I wanted it to work except that I’d like it to only show the numbers that are counting down and not the extra “0’s” that are showing. How can I make that sort of adjustment? Example: Currently is shows: 00:05:00. I want it to show: 5:00

Here is the blend file.

BTW, I’m creating a status bar that correlates with the countdown.

Here you go:

def splittime(secs, prec=2):
        t = float(secs)
        minutes = t // 60
        t %= 60
        seconds = math.floor(t)
        t = round(t - seconds, prec)
        p = 10 ** prec
        fraction = math.floor(p * (t))
        return (minutes, seconds, fraction % p)
