Hi everyone,
I have a problem while converting string to float in WebGL build :
public string myString = "3.124";
public float myFloat;
float.TryParse(myString, out myFloat);
Debug.Log(myFloat);
In Unity Editor and Windows Build, myFloat return the correct value : 3.1243124
I read that parsing float depends on globalization (I’m in France, with French OS environment) and I tried to work with the following arguments :
float.Parse(myString, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.NumberFormat)
Unfortunately it does not work…
Here is a screenshot of the Firefox console debug :
1. is the Debug.Log of the float (result of parse float) (with a comma, not a point, the original string is “3.581”)
2. is the interpreted value (my float is used for positionning a gameobject with Vector3, here is the Debug.Log of transform.position)
Does anyone have the solution ?

This is pretty clearly a bug and you probably should report it via the bugreporter.
If you need a suboptimal solution now you could create a custom function along the lines of something like this:
float ParseString(string input)
{
int pos = input.IndexOf(".");
if(pos < 0) return float.Parse(input);
int power = input.Length - pos - 1;
float value = float.Parse(input.Remove(pos, 1));
float divideBy = Mathf.Pow(10, power);
return value / divideBy;
}

Thank you, I suspected that it was a bug, I will report it.

Utilise CultureInfo.InvariantCulture , pas CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.NumberFormat
ou encore https://discussions.unity.com/t/419201/6
J 'ai eu le même probleme il y a pas mal de temps.

Effectivement ça fonctionne parfaitement, un grand merci ! C’était tout con en fait
Problem solved : float.Parse(myString, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) is working perfectly !
