A string is a word, a phrase, a sentence. it possible to use numbers in a sentence, but you cant use these numbers for formulas
A real is a number, you can't use words in a sentence.
Let's say player 1 types 34
Even if its a number, he said it, so its a string
But now you could convert that string to a number so you can use it in a formula.
you cant turn letters into numbers, but typed numbers... example
tell the game to transform cat into real..
cat is not a number....
tell the game to transform 300 into real
returns 300
Ghan has said he has fixed this. Monovertex please confirm this fix. This was only a problem with people that had signatures in the upper levels like not the special members but the respected members.
