Is it possible to make lumber appear as...

[azndeviboix]

...gold does when you kill something for bounty awarded.

I.e. I kill something that gives 1 lumber, I want the +1 to appear like gold appears, green.

Thanks in advance.

Why don't you just use floating text?

When unit dies.

Show a floating text above dying unit's head?

I want it to look something like the gold bounty animation.

But if all else fails I'll use you idea.

I can't recall how gold bounty appears, but I am sure you can achieve the same effect changing velocity, fading age and other parameters of the floating text.

In example:
-When your mining gold from your gold mine, the amount of gold you get rises and fades.
-When you kill a creep, the amount of gold you get rises and fades.

I want this to work with lumber and a different color (green).

I'm freehanding this, but I figure you could detect when and how much lumber to give a player with something like:

EVENTS
Unit - A unit dies.
CONDITIONS
n/a
ACTIONS
Add (point value of dying unit) to (owner of killing unit) lumber

Go through and set the point value of each unit to their respective lumber bounty, unless they all give the same amount, in which case you can change the trigger accordingly.

Like said above, you can get the number to appear by triggering for floating text. It's also a single action (under "Floating Text - Create Floating Text above unit). Go ingame and compare it against a creep with a gold bounty until they are as similar as you like.

EGUI contains a floating text addon for Gold, Lumber, Bounty, Critical, Miss, Mana Burn, and Bash.
