Strings

The To String node turns various types, including objects, into strings. In general, this will match the string that a display node displays. Use cases include HUDs that involve numbers, such as turning your FPS into text for a display, or readouts of objects or values.

If you are looking to take a string and make it into a value instead, try Parse.
