This will look as a newbie question but...

...why I can't write a float value in a Number variable? :?

Yes, I know it's weird I didn't try in the five years I've used DS. :roll:

It's because it only supports Integers???

Hi,

Where can't you enter a float?

Can you enter it using standard decimal notation (e.g., "3.14")?

You can also use floating point 'e' notation, such as "1.5e3" for 1500.

It's in the Variables tab in the Dialogue window.

I start writing this...

...and when I press Enter turns to this...

I've also tried with a comma, because I have both English and Spanish locales installed, but to no avail. It happens the same.

At any rate, if you confirm it's supposed to support decimals, then I guess there's something wrong in my platform... :?

Hmm, maybe it's a system language issue? The field should use culture-invariant numbers -- that is, always a period ( . ) for decimals, not a comma ( , ).

Can you test a new, empty project with DS version 2.2.22? I don't think anything changed in this regard from 2.2.15 to 2.2.22, but we'd at least be looking at the same version.

Ah... no need. It's fixed now.

Even though the Display Language was set to English, I also had the Regional Settings set to Spanish (Brazil).

I forgot that I set it like that to test the game in other regions, so changing it back to English did the trick.

Thank you!

Hi, I am having this exact same issue. I am pretty sure this is an Unity issue but on the other hand there is no other place in Unity where I am having this.... only in Dialogue Variable Window.

I have been using German Layout. I have also tried to use english layout. I used comma, dots... nothing is working. Any ideas here?

i managed to fix it. i guess the same way the original poster did. i just didn't know what regional setting was changed (windows hides so many of those...). to reproduce change regional format to "German(Germany)" (default when you install windows in germany) like in the screenshot. i am using windows11 and unity 2022.3.19f1

Hi,

What Dialogue System version are you using?
