How Would I Display the Name of a Neutral Passive Structure?

[Squeekems]

I noticed that Circles of Power display "Circle of Power" above them when you hover over them. I was wondering if I would be able to do that somehow for another building? I wanted to make Circles of Power that displayed what moving onto them did.

I dont know an exact answer but i do know this: A LOT of things in wc3 are hardcoded so i wouldnt spend a lot of time on something that may not be possible to change.

You could do something like this tho:

• Text
  • Events
    • Map Initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Point = position of First Circle of Power
    • Floating Text - Create Floating Text at Temp_Point that reads ... of the size ... offset in the z direction by ~20 points
    • Set Temp_Point = position of Second Circle of Power
    • Floating Text - Create Floating Text at Temp_Point that reads ... of the size ... offset in the z direction by ~20 points
    • Etc.
    • Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

I might be wrong.

But i think that all 'Neutral Passive' structures have that function.
So basically just make the owner become Neutral Passive and it should show the 'name' of the unit/structure.

I dont believe so, as far as i know taverns and other neutral passive structures dont do that, but i could be wrong, you could test this out and post the results squeek

I did make them neutral passive. I thought that was how it functioned, too. Lol. Well, I will have to use floating text, I guess. I hate using it. <( >.<)>

I thought that was the name of the owning player, like when you hover over a hero and it shows the owner's name, the hero's name and its level.
