[Help] Is there anyway to change a UI Text to a Float?

So, In my game i have a volume slider, but to make it actually change the value of the song you have to use a float. but im trying to convert the UI text that displays what the value of the slider to a float so i can use that to change the volume. heres the code for the script

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public class VRSliderReadout : MonoBehaviour
3.     {
4.         public enum OutputField
5.         {
6.             X,Y,Z
7.         }
8.         public Text text;
9.         public VRSlider slider;
10.         public string prefix;
11.         public string postfix;
12.         public OutputField field;
13.         public bool forVolume = false;
14.         public AudioSource OrigenVolume;
15.         public float OrigenVolumeFloat;
16.         void Start()
17.         {
18.             if (text == null) text = GetComponent<Text>();
19.             if (text == null) Debug.LogError("Slider Readout requires text reference to output to", gameObject);
20.             slider.sliderEvent += SliderEvent;
21.             SliderEvent(slider, new Vector3(slider.XPercent, slider.YPercent, slider.ZPercent));
22.         }
23.         void SliderEvent(object sender, Vector3 output)
24.         {
25.             string field = "";
26.             switch(this.field)
27.             {
28.             case OutputField.X:
29.                 field = (output.x*100).ToString("N0");
30.                 break;
31.             case OutputField.Y:
32.                 field = (output.y*100).ToString("N0");
33.                 break;
34.             case OutputField.Z:
35.                 field = (output.z*100).ToString("N0");
36.                 break;
37.             }
38.             text.text = prefix + field + postfix;
39.         }
40.         void Update()
41.         {
42.             if (forVolume == true){
43.                 text.text = OrigenVolumeFloat.ToString();
44.                 OrigenVolume.volume = OrigenVolumeFloat;
45.             }
46.         }
47.     }
48. }
49.  

Any Help Would Be GREATLY Appreciated!

 

Use the slider value and not the text. The text is just some display info for the user, your back end shouldn't care about it.

 

Your slider should already be giving its value as a float.

 

Thanks! Can’t believe I was dumb enough to not realize this
