Description

Returns a nicely formatted string for this vector.

#pragma strict
public class ExampleScript extends MonoBehaviour {
	function Start() {
		// let Unity show these as (1.0, 2.0, 3.0)
		var vector: Vector3 = new Vector3(1, 2, 3);
		Debug.Log(vector.ToString());
		// unity sadly decides (1.2, 5.7, 9.0)
		vector = new Vector3(1.234f, 5.678f, 9.012f);
		Debug.Log(vector.ToString());
		// (1.234, 5.678, 9.012)
		Debug.Log(vector.ToString("F3"));
		// now let's create some longer numbers
		vector = new Vector3(1.0f / 3.0f, -Mathf.PI, Mathf.Exp(-2.0f));
		// we get (0.333333, -3.141593, 0.135335)
		Debug.Log("fractional part is 6: " + vector.ToString("F6"));
		// (0.33333330, -3.14159300, 0.13533530)
