Can't Convert String to float.

I'm trying to change a string into a float but it keeps giving me an error here is my code:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using UnityEngine.UI;
4.  
5. public class INPUT : MonoBehaviour {
6.  
7.     public Text text;
8.     public Controller c;
9.  
10.     void Start () {
11.    
12.     }
13.  
14.     void Update () {
15.         if (Input.GetKey ("space"))
16.             c.acceleration = float.Parse(text.ToString());
17.     }
18. }
19.  

But it keeps giving my this error when i enter a number:

FormatException: Unknown char: T
System.Double.Parse (System.String s, NumberStyles style, IFormatProvider provider) (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/mono-runtime-and-classlibs/build/mcs/class/corlib/System/Double.cs:209)
System.Single.Parse (System.String s) (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/mono-runtime-and-classlibs/build/mcs/class/corlib/System/Single.cs:183)
INPUT.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/INPUT.cs:16)

Why is this happening and how do i convert a string to float?

That doesn't work, it still gives me error.

 

Looks like your text member is a Text, not an actual string. Have you tried text.text instead?

 

Thanks it worked.

 

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class playerMovement: MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public float speed = 6f;
8.     public float gravity = 20f;
9.     public float jump = 8f;
10.  
11.     CharacterController Controller;
12.  
13.     Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.zero;
14.  
15.     float Horizontal;
16.     float Vertical;
17.     // Start is called before the first frame update
18.     void Start()
19.     {
20.         Controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
21.     }
22.  
23.     // Update is called once per frame
24.     void Update()
25.     {
26.         Horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
27.         Vertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
28.         if (Controller.isGrounded)
29.         {
30.             moveDirection = new Vector3("Horizontal",0.0f,"Vertical");
31.             moveDirection *= speed;
32.         }
33.  
34.         moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
35.         Controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
36.     }
37. }

i have a problem from he
sorry i speaken't English

 

That's a necro and a half, seems to me, like you didn't really want the "" around your Horizontal and Vertical on line 30
