BABYLON.UI TextBox does not like Numbers

[Pryme8]

so if you try to set

for(var i=0; ...){
var text1 = new BABYLON.GUI.TextBlock();
    text1.text = i;

}

 

and the text is a Number you will drop and error instead of it just parsing it as text. quick fix is to add +"" behind the variable or number and it will fix it but I figured it would be worth mentioning that this should be auto parsed.

Or use String () instead of +''"

 text1.text = String(i);

But it is true that this could be forced into 'string' directly in BABYLON.GUI since this should return only strings and not 'int' or 'float'

i wonder what's faster string() or +""
