How to output a variable in a GUI.box?

Question

function OnGUI () { // Make a background box GUI.Box (Rect (10,10,100,90), "Hello"); }

The above works. But I want to do the following, with a real variable of course...

function OnGUI () { var x : float; x = 22.2; GUI.Box (Rect (10,10,100,90), x); }

the above fails compile. all the code samples I see just output a string. what is the syntax if I want to output a variable?

The GUI functions expect a string or GUIContent to draw (rather than a float). In your case, the simplest thing would be to just use ToString(). e.g.

 GUI.Box( Rect(10,10,100,90), x.ToString() );
