Integer to Character in unityscript

Questions & Answers

I’m trying to save alot of integers into a string, this time in javascript (unityscript). This was a fairly easy thing to do with C# and the ability to cast variable types:

class Example : MonoBehaviour{
  int id = 5;   
  string id_list;

  void Awake(){
    id_list += (char)id;
    Debug.Log(id_list);
  }
}

That returns :clubs:. How do I go about returning :clubs: in unityscript?

If you want to cast an int to char, then you can use

var c : char = id;

or

var c : char = System.Convert.ToChar(id);

Please note, that this will not show in console (and I believe in GUI too). Instead, if you want to display clubs character, use its Unicode character. In C# you would assign it as:

var c = '\u2663';

while in UnityScript use:

var c : char = System.Convert.ToChar(0x2663); // 0x because it's hexadecimal

Small edit: of course var c : char = 0x2663; should work as well…
