Since Arma 3 v1.71.141859 an alternative syntax is added, which takes no number and returns [[Nothing]]. Instead it acts as keyword and switches engine [[Number]] to [[String]] global conversion into desired format, from the moment it is applied until the end of script. To reset output back to default at any time, use <tt>toFixed -1</tt>. For example:

toFixed decimals Template:Since
Parameters:
decimals: Number - number of decimals to display (range 0-20). -1 to reset to default number of decimals
Return Value:
Nothing

Examples

Example 1:
123 toFixed 2; // "123.00"
Example 2:
2.34 toFixed 1; // "2.3" 2.35 toFixed 1; // "2.4"
Example 3:
Convert position to string preserving position precision: fn_posToString = { format [ "[%1,%2,%3]", _this select 0 toFixed 8, _this select 1 toFixed 8, _this select 2 toFixed 8 ] }; str getPos player; // "[3231.05,171.802,0.00143862]" getPos player call fn_posToString; // "[3231.04882813,171.80192566,0.00143862]"
Example 4:
Same as Example 3 only using new alternative syntax:str getPos player; // "[3231.05,171.802,0.00143862]" toFixed 8; str getPos player; // "[3231.04882813,171.80192566,0.00143862]"
