Hello Emilmart,

It's actually difficult to convert proper numbers from a wildcard, especially decimal values.

A simple way to fix your problem is simply to store your float value in a "buffer"/variable. Because if the value is displayed with a TextArea, it means that your code already knew this value before giving it to the wildcard.
