Seperate large numbers with comma
How do I format a number such that it has a comma in every thousand position (both integers and floating values?)
For example 1000000.35 will be 1000,000.35?
You can use the ToString() function of the variable like this:
var num : float = 1000000.35;
Debug.Log(num.ToString("n2"));
Where n is for number and 2 is the number of decimal places you want to display. If you don't want to use the comma use f (float) instead.
To complement Lipis' answer:
The version of Mono (which is a version of .net) in Unity comes with a wealth of built-in formatting options, so you can use the MSDN reference to look this sort of thing up:
For more information see the MSDN documentation on "N" formatting:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dwhawy9k.aspx#NFormatString
And on standard number formatting in general:

And on applying custom formats to your number strings:

an incredibly useful tip, thanks.
higheScore.ToString( "n0" )
it's that easy. $$anonymous$$any Unity programmers are not familiar with the NET libraries, so again it's a hugely useful tip!
Thank you guys for the answers, especially you (duck) with the links that break down what everything means. Very very helpful indeed, just what I was looking for.
