Hello I am trying to convert float to string in IDL/cpp. I am assuming that is what I need to do as that is what the error indicated when I tried to compile. What I am trying to do is grab the "value" of minDamage and maxDamage.



@dirty
public native float getMaxDamage(boolean withPup = true);

public void setMaxDamage(float value) {
maxDamage = value;
}

@dirty
public native float getMinDamage(boolean withPup = true);

public void setMinDamage(float value) {
minDamage = value;
}


But when I try to do so I get the error



 error: could not convert from ‘float’ to ‘sys::lang::String’
return maxDamage;
^~~~~~~~~


Thanks for any help, if there is any more information needed just let me know.

  • Not familiar with sys::lang::String - if it has appropriate constructors, you could convert float to std::string using the standard ways and then pass it directly or the c_str() to.
