Text To Value

Updated: 21 Oct 2024

Converts a text string to a modifier value.

Method #

This node takes the characters from an input text string and generates a floating-point output value. It supports positive and negative input strings such as +5 or -3, as well as hexadecimal input strings such as 0x3f8.

The output is a numeric value that can be further processed with other modifiers, or directly connected to a parameter in another node, using the operation method selected.

Parameter	Details
Current Value	Shows the current value of the effect. Cannot be directly changed.
Rounding Mode	Choose how to alter the value. None : No value manipulation takes place. Round Up : Rounds the value up, calculating the smallest integral value that is not less than the initial value. For example, 2.3 would become 3.0. Round Down : Rounds the value down, calculating the largest integral value that is not greater than the initial value. For example, 2.9 would become 2.0. Absolute : Calculates the absolute value. For example, -5.0 would become 5.0.
