Why is Set Property > text > To String showing up with decimals?
« on: March 17, 2021, 11:52:24 AM »
When I drag UI text into my FSM and Set Property > text > To String and run my game it get a decimal place (ie: Health = 10.0 instead of 10). Why is that and how do you fix it? Every video I've watched doesn't show any decimal by default.
Thanks!

The Variable Player_Health is of type Float. If you don't want it to be decimal, change the type to Int. Or use the action Convert Float To Int before using it in the UI.

Hi.
Convert to float to string works as well and you can set a format.

Gor example you want it to be 001 instead of 1 then set format 000
If you want it to be 1 then set format 0
If you want it to be 1.0 set format to 0.0
