Whats the different between those two natives

str_to_float & floatstr

for some reason str_to_float gives false outputs.

Where did you even find strfloat?

That function has been there since the beginning, if it gave wrong results it would've been reported and fixed long ago. You should provide your code and the data you test it on.

Sorry i meant floatstr, here is the code.


Try changing floatstr to str_to_float.

If you want to prove that a native isn't working properly then create a smallest possible script that proves it. I'm not going to run that, especially because it depends on other plugins which I'd have to search for.
These two natives are nearly equal, but everyone pretty much uses str_to_float - it has a more descriptive name.

Is there any differences between them? If there is can you list them.

floatstr uses atof from the C standard library, while str_to_float has its own implementaton. atof can accept more input, but is also subject to change. For example in C++11 it had more functionality added (acceps hexadecimal, infinity and NaN values). It seems that floatstr is a relic from AMX days or even earlier as it uses old ways of retrieving strings from Pawn.
In general, for ordinary float values there is absolutely no difference.
