Floating Text Fade Help

[SiorTapas]

I want to make a Floating Text fade not just dissapear (destroy). I've made an example of what I do. Why the Floating Text just stays there and doesn't fade after 1 second? Please help me if you can. Thank you.

• Text
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads Attacked above (Attacked 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 age of (Last created floating text) to 0.00 seconds
    • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 1.00 seconds

I don't know but I always use this trigger. (I have the same problem about Expiration time of floating text)

• Floating Text - Destroy (Last created floating text)

Maybe it is the Blizzard World Editor Bug or maybe someone could explain it. But use my trigger will surely help you!!

The prob is that I don't want to destroy it but make it fade....

Not 100% sure on floating text but i think use lifespan not age, that always worked for me.

Your problem is set velocity.

• -------- Creates a floating text. --------
  • Floating Text - Create ...
  • -------- This is the speed of floating text(50) and degree is direction of text.0 = east, 90 = north etc...If you don't use this, your text doesn't move.
  • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 50.00 towards 90.00 degrees
  • -------- Disables permanence --------
  • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
  • -------- Fade time of floating text
  • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 1.00 seconds
  • -------- Life of floating text(you don't need to destroy action if you used lifespan)
  • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 1.50 seconds

Your problem is set velocity.

This is mostly irrelevant. The problem here is it doesn't fade, which you need to set a lifespan for, not age. Velocity has no effect on duration of the text, just its direction.

Try putting it like this:

• Floating Text
  • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 1.00 seconds
  • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 0.00 seconds

Here is plainly, what I do. I assure you it will work. Fading upwards.

• Actions
  • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (|c00fff100+ + ((String((Custom value of (Dying unit)))) + |r)) at (Position of (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 - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees
  • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
  • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 5.00 seconds
  • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 4.00 seconds
