Float to string musing...

[fishykins]

Not so much an issue, rather a question re cba_fnc_floatToString. I have, on rare occasion, been sending values of 0 to this function. The result is a thrown error but nothing broken. Having taken a look at it, I can see that it is highly bare bones and designed to run super-duper fast which is great. Is there a possibility of catching this value of "0" in the function or should this be included before?

eg:

private _string = if (_float isEqualto 0) then {"0";} else {float call cba_fnc_floatToString;};

Thanks!

Would it not be faster to use the engine command toFixed?

[fishykins]

looks like it, yes. Does that not render the function as depreciated?

I'd say so.

Function will be marked as deprecated (though probably never removed in A3)
