Every floating text on my map bugs!

[Crusher]

Okay this is really weird! If I set any floating text in my map, It bugs! I don't know the reason, but here is for example on good floating text trigger which works perfectly fine, but on my map it doesn't!

• Exclamation Mark
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Dying unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Killing unit))) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (PlayerColours[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] + (! + |R)) above (Dying unit) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
    • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
    • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds
    • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 1.50 seconds
    • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees

In what way doesn't it work?
Displays a wrong color, doesn't display at all, crashes the game?

 

[Crusher]

It displays 1st floating text, but if i do fast deny on my creep, it will display half of the another floating text and it will dissapear faster!

Use local variables to fix it

 

[Crusher]

Please tell me how, I'm not familiar with floating text!

 

[Crusher]

Bump!

i don't get it. it should work perfectly fine. I have absolutely the same trigger in my map and it works fine...

Throw away the 3 functions at the middle : permanence, lifespan, fading age.

 

[Crusher]

I've tried that, but It doesn't display floating text at all!

 

[Crusher]

Bump!

That shouldn't be needed because this all happens instantly, he would have to use the trigger again faster than the actions are performed, which seems unlikely. The trigger looks fine, you probably have another trigger somewhere that messes with it or something.

 

[Crusher]

How can it mess if they don't have the same event? :S

 

[Crusher]

Bump.

Try using create floating text at point

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Dying unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Killing unit))) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Point = (Position of (Dying unit))
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads TEXT at Temp_Point with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
    • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
    • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds
    • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 1.50 seconds
    • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Point)

This doesn't work either. Also this is one of the most confusing question here as I see right now .

 

[Nexor]

there is a function called SHOW floating text, use it !

 

[Crusher]

Lawl, where do you find that?

 

[SpaceBar]

"Floating Text - Show (Last created floating text)"

 

[Crusher]

Hmm, that doesn't help either.

*Sigh* :/

 

[cleeezzz]

can you post the map, you dont have to, i just dont see how thats possible
