Floating Text Position

[Nathan0093]

I want floating text to display properly in the middle of the map when it comes up like when gold mine is running low warning. Also, how do I make it disappears? I tried disabling permanence or setting age span but neither worked.

Do you want it appear in the middle of the map or in the middle of the camera?

 

[Nathan0093]

Middle of the current camera view for a particular player, like other notices and warnings in melee games.

Warnings like those always appear as game text, not floating text.

Well then is there a way to make game text displays messages to only the owner of the triggering unit? Apparently it's not one of the functions.

You can change the messages you get under Gameplay Interface. I don't know if there's one for gold mines, though

Yes, there is.

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    If - Conditions
        (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
    Then - Actions
        Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) the text: (Your text here)
    Else - Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue)
            Then - Actions
                Game - Display to Player Group - Player 2 (Blue) the text: (Your text here)
(And so on)

E: You can't choose 'Player Group - Player [Integer A]'. There are only the presets.

Or, do this (possibly):

For every (Integer A) from 1 to 12:
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    If - Conditions
        (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player [Integer A]
    Then - Actions
        Game - Display to Player Group - Player [Integer A] the text: (Your text here)
    Else - Actions
