Is "value1" a number or something else, like a symbol? if it's a symbol, then
you are trying to use a float-message with a symbol argument like "float abc"
which is, uhm, not supported, at least not in [route] or [print] or so. 

As a workaround, replace the "float" with something else using [select float]
i.e.:

 [uniform float value1(

 [unpack s s s]
 |     |      |
 |     [select float]
 |     |   /  |
 |     [symbol f(
 |     | /    |
 [pack s s s  ]
