Displaying decimal numbers as text

omnigame

Hi,

I want to display numbers with decimals (such as 2.0 or 2.5) as text, but GameSalad won't let me. The number 2.0 is displayed as 2, while 2.5 is displayed as 2.50. If I use a comma instead of a period, it works, as long as I put it inside quotation marks, but I want the numbers to be displayed properly.

Please advice. Thank you!

Is there no solution to this problem?

how are you storing the numbers? what kind of attributes are they?

Thank you for replying!

I am using the Display Text behavior on a button. This way I can use different instances of the same image, but have each instance display different numbers,

I think you have to set up a interger attribute, and depending on what number you want displayed, you update that attribute to that number, and then in display text you choose that interger attribute. That should work

Yes, Integer is numbers like: -2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5..... and Real are numbers like: 1.083749, 45.7800023, 2.45.... make sure you select REAL for the attribute.
