Reforged 2.0 Bug: Real variables are no longer displayed in text messages or multiboard?!

[Helheim]

Greetings everyone!
After recent patch 2.0 came out, the text messages and multiboard strings no longer display a real variable. Formatted real aint working too.
Any idea how to fix that?
My best thought is to split a real number into 2 integers and dot between them, but I hope there is some new elegant feature I don't know yet.

here some example:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.20 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 1 columns and 1 rows, titled TEST.
    • Multiboard - Show (Last created multiboard)
    • Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to Show text and Show icons
    • Multiboard - Set the icon for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to UI\Feedback\Resources\ResourceGold.blp
    • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to 0
    • Multiboard - Maximize (Last created multiboard)
    • Set VariableSet MB = (Last created multiboard)

This one is broken (real variable)

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet R = (R + 0.12)
    • Set VariableSet S = (String(R))
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Real = + S)
    • Multiboard - Set the text for MB item in column 1, row 1 to S

This one works fine (integer)

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet R = (R + 0.12)
    • Set VariableSet S = (String((Integer(R))))
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Real = + S)
    • Multiboard - Set the text for MB item in column 1, row 1 to S

Have you tried increasing the width of the cell? Perhaps it doesn't display if there's not enough room

• Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to 6.00% of the total screen width

Have you tried increasing the width of the cell?

Ofc I did! Anyway, what about ingame text messages then? Everything worked fine before 2.0 came out...

Just checked it again, even 100% have no effect at all. Expectable, since the ingame messages are broken as well...

As you mentioned something happened in 2.0. From what I heard on the hive discord, R2S (Real to string) is broken.

OK, I consider it as official confirmation. Thank you.
Guess I'll start making crutches to fix Blizztards incompetence...

R2S and R2SW are broken as currently.

Here's a snippet you can use you really need it to work as a temporary fix

/* Removed in favor of fixed version below */

As far as I know R2S(x) does something similar to R2SW(x, 0, 3)

You could implement R2SW3 yourself if needed by looking how both are implemented.

Edit: Missing some rounding with negatives fixed version for negative as follow:

    // Same as R2SW(value, 1, 1)
    private function R2SW1 takes real value returns string
        local string output = ""
        local integer on_off = ModuloInteger(R2I(RAbsBJ(value / 0.1)), 10)
        return I2S(R2I(value)) + "." + I2S(on_off)
    endfunction

    // Same as R2SW(value, 2, 2)
    private function R2SW2 takes real value returns string
        local string output = ""
        local integer two_off = ModuloInteger(R2I(RAbsBJ(value / 0.01)), 10)
        local integer on_off = ModuloInteger(R2I(RAbsBJ(value / 0.1)), 10)
        return I2S(R2I(value)) + "." + I2S(on_off) + I2S(two_off)
    endfunction

Yup, I think my GUI solution is quite the same:

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet R = (R + 0.12)
    • Set VariableSet i = (Integer(R))
    • Set VariableSet R_Dec = ((R - (Real(i))) x 10.00)
    • Set VariableSet i_Dec = (Integer(R_Dec))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • i_Dec Greater than 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Set VariableSet S = (((String(i)) + .) + (String(i_Dec)))
      • Else - Actions
        • Set VariableSet S = (String(i))
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Real = + S)
    • Multiboard - Set the text for MB item in column 1, row 1 to S

Ofc. jass looks more efficient, so I try to screw it into my GUI.
+rep!

Upd: I've found a modulo function in the GUI as well, so my fix is:

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet R = (R + 0.12)
    • Set VariableSet i = (Integer(R))
    • Set VariableSet i_Dec = ((Integer((R / 0.10))) mod 10)
    • Set VariableSet S = (((String(i)) + ,) + (String(i_Dec)))
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Real = + S)
    • Multiboard - Set the text for MB item in column 1, row 1 to S
