Convert string variable into floats?
print(restoreplayerpos);
// variable contains -7.4, 1.4, 6.5
// restore player position
var playerObject = GameObject.Find("player");
playerObject.transform.position = Vector3(restoreplayerpos); // need to convert the variable restoreplayerpos into a float somehow?
You can use string.Split() for splitting the string values and float.Parse() for string to float conversion.
float.Parse() works even if the input string contains whitespaces. So " 1.4" will be converted without any errors.
Try this:
Javascript
var sStrings = restoreplayerpos.Split(","[0]);
var x : float = float.Parse(sStrings[0]);
var y : float = float.Parse(sStrings[1]);
var z : float = float.Parse(sStrings[2]);
var playerObject = gameObject.Find("player");
playerObject.transform.position = new Vector3(x, y, z);
C#
var sStrings = restoreplayerpos.Split(","[0]);
float x = float.Parse(sStrings[0]);
float y = float.Parse(sStrings[1]);
float z = float.Parse(sStrings[2]);
var playerObject = GameObject.Find("player");
playerObject.transform.position = new Vector3(x, y, z);
your answer is much cleaner then $$anonymous$$e ^^ I totally forgot about Split.
Thank you both. I'll try this when I'm able to this evening and see how it goes. $$anonymous$$uch appreciated as always.
Your answer would get closer to perfect with a try/catch section.
Thank you keburanuil. That has worked brilliantly. Thanks to everyone else too, have chosen keburanuil's answer as it seemed the most efficient.
string[] TheString = { "-7.4", "1.4", "6.5" };
float[] VectorPosition = new float[TheString.Length];
Vector3 restoreplayerpos = new Vector3();
for (int i = 0; i < TheString.Length;i++ )
{
VectorPosition[i] = float.Parse(TheString[i]);
restoreplayerpos.x = VectorPosition[0];
restoreplayerpos.y = VectorPosition[1];
restoreplayerpos.z = VectorPosition[2];
}
var playerObject = GameObject.Find("player");
playerObject.transform.position = new Vector3( restoreplayerpos.x, restoreplayerpos.y,restoreplayerpos.z);
why do you need it to be a string ?? I didn't test it but It should work.
I know its old but: this version is very lazy and you are setting the values about 12 times, 9 times in your loop, what for? if you do this with more than 1 vector it will be a vaste of performance.
either that:
Vector3 restoreplayerpos = new Vector3();
for (int i = 0; i < TheString.Length; i++)
{
VectorPosition[i] = float.Parse(TheString[i]);
}
restoreplayerpos.x = VectorPosition[0];
restoreplayerpos.y = VectorPosition[1];
restoreplayerpos.z = VectorPosition[2];
var playerObject = GameObject.Find("player");
playerObject.transform.position = restoreplayerpos;
or that:
for (int i = 0; i < TheString.Length; i++)
{
VectorPosition[i] = float.Parse(TheString[i]);
}
var playerObject = GameObject.Find("player");
playerObject.transform.position = new Vector3(VectorPosition[0], VectorPosition[1], VectorPosition[2]);
