How to get a number from a UI input field
Long story short, I have a UI input field that I have set to only accept decimal inputs. When I go to access this input through code its type is string. How can I make this input a float or int so I can use math functions with it (add, subtract, multiply, divide, ect.)
Ps. I use C# for programming.
@Superspeedy Here's an example for you of how to retrieve data from UI inputfield;
InputField input;
int integer_Value_we_Want;
integer_Value_we_Want = int.Parse(input.text); //for integer
integer_Value_we_Want = float.Parse(input.text); //for float
integer_Value_we_Want = double.Parse(input.text); //for double
and so on..
@SirPaul, Thanks a lot! I was having the same problem and this really helped me out!
Thank you for a clear and simple answer. I helped a lot.
Something to note here. If you parse a float or a double and try store it in an int then you will get an error. You cannot implicitly convert floats and doubles into ints.
not working
int.Parse() Does'nt work any more, you have to use TryParse()
InputField input; int number; int.TryParse(input.text, out int result); number = result;
