string ftos(float value)

Usage[edit]

Converts a float to a string. Mainly used for printing messages.

Warning: This does not return a unique string but a string shared across all instances of ftos(). Calling it again will change all currently stored references to the latest one. Storing the result has little value and it should only be called once per print function call.

Parameters[edit]

value

The float to turn into a string.

Return[edit]

The passed float as a string.

Example[edit]

// Print the amount of ammo the player picked up
sprint(other, "Picked up ");
sprint(other, ftos(self.aflag));
sprint(other, " shells\n");
