TextTags not showing

[wellwish3r]

whats wrong with this:

local texttag txt = CreateTextTag()
    call SetTextTagText(txt,R2S(GetEventDamage()),8.00)
    call SetTextTagPosUnit(txt,u,150.00)
    call SetTextTagColor(txt,255,0,0,100)
    call SetTextTagPermanent(txt,false)
    call SetTextTagLifespan(txt, 3.00)
    call SetTextTagFadepoint(txt, 2.00)
    call SetTextTagVelocityBJ( txt, 200.00, 90 )
    call SetTextTagVisibility(txt, true))

the tags simply don't show (Events and conditions are fine, checked that)

the odd thing is it works when using BJs:

    call CreateTextTagLocBJ( R2S(GetEventDamage()), GetUnitLoc(GetTriggerUnit()), 0, 8.00, 100, 0.00, 0.00, 0 )
    call SetTextTagVelocityBJ( GetLastCreatedTextTag(), 100.00, 90 )
    call SetTextTagLifespanBJ( GetLastCreatedTextTag(), 3.00 )
    call SetTextTagPermanentBJ( GetLastCreatedTextTag(), false )
    call SetTextTagFadepointBJ( GetLastCreatedTextTag(), 2.00 )

I have no idea what's wrong, but what I can say is that this works:

local texttag TTag = CreateTextTag()
call SetTextTagText(TTag, R2S(GetEventDamage()), (8 * 0.023 / 10))
call SetTextTagPos(TTag, GetUnitX(GetTriggerUnit()), GetUnitY(GetTriggerUnit()), 10.0)
call SetTextTagColor(TTag, 255, 0, 0, 255) 
call SetTextTagLifespan(TTag, 3.00 )
call SetTextTagPermanent(TTag, false )
call SetTextTagVelocity(TTag, ((200 * 0.071 / 128) * Cos(90 * bj_DEGTORAD)), ((200 * 0.071 / 128) * Sin(90 * bj_DEGTORAD)))

200 in velocity = speed
90 in velocity = angle
8 in SetTextTagText = size

Hope you can use it, sry I don't know what's wrong in yours.

Thanks, just fount out myself that the text height is calculated in a rather strange way^^

Care when using SetTextTagText the height has to be a very small vaslue, else it wont work.

ake a look at the BJ:

function SetTextTagTextBJ takes texttag tt, string s, real size returns nothing
    local real textHeight = TextTagSize2Height(size)

    call SetTextTagText(tt, s, textHeight)
endfunction

function TextTagSize2Height takes real size returns real
    return size * 0.023 / 10
endfunction

so to make it work change your heigth in SetTextTagText to 8.00 * 0.023 / 10.

EDIT: too late :/
