Centering Floating Text

[rtschutter]

Whenever I create floating text above a unit in this game it always comes out to the right of center over the unit. I assume this is because it determines that the text should start in the middle rather than start where it needs to for the middle of the text to be over the middle of the unit.

I want to center this text so it doesn't look terrible all of the time but I can find any way to adjust the x-axis of the text. Is this possible? How do I do it?

Thank you.

Use a point variable with an offset

Here's an example of how to do it:

In the first post of the thread, check out the fifth trigger from the top (named 'New Item'.)

It starts by setting the string I want to display. Then set an integer variable to see how long the string is, then finally set the two points needed to display the floating text.
