Floating Text above unit

[pr0-assasin]

How would i make floating text above a unit countdown from 5.

In example.

Unit is attacked

create floating text at point of unit ( or something along those lines) then countdown from 5. Also keeping the floating text above the unit;

floating text - create floating text that reads 5
floating text - set life span of last created floating text = 1 second
wait 1.00 seconds
floating text - create floating text that reads 4
floating text - set life span of last created floating text = 1 second
wait 1.00 seconds
floating text - create floating text that reads 3
floating text - set life span of last created floating text = 1 second
wait 1.00 seconds
floating text - create floating text that reads 2
floating text - set life span of last created floating text = 1 second
wait 1.00 seconds
floating text - create floating text that reads 1
floating text - set life span of last created floating text = 1 second
wait 1.00 seconds
floating text - create floating text that reads 0/GO!/START! (in a bigger font)
floating text - set life span of last created floating text = 1 second

or delete up to the very bottom wait if you just want it to display 5-1

I don't like those waits :/ maybe have "Unit is attacked" trigger that turns on "periodic 1sec trigger" for floating text.

Waits are known to be off by up to .25 seconds.
