How to?

[Winterherz]

How do you create a floating text above the target of unit of ability being cast that reads the amount of healed done by the caster?

 

[Dirac]

The whole healing effect must be triggered, using holy light wont work.

Set the life of unit to (life of unit + 100)
Create floating text displaying 100 over unit

i already know that idea, what i mean is about for a complex trigger formula....to show this on floating text:::: life of unit + (random # 100 and 200) + (0.22 x int of casting unit) = ### on floating text above target unit

exactly what i'm asking for:thup: +rep!

 

[Winterherz]

one question though, how do i remove the .xxx decimal?

 

[Chaos_Knight]

Dont double post.
I don't remember.

 

[SaintMorose]

convert real to integer will get rid of the .xxx

 

[Komaqtion]

You need to convert it to an Integer, like this:

• Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (+ + (String((ToD_Base_Heal x (Integer((ToD_Ability x ToD_Unit_Counter))))))) above ToD_Caster with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (0.00%, 50.00%, 10.00%), and 0.00% transparency

So you convert the whole thing to an integer, not just "ToD_Base_Heal"

(This is freehanded, but it's the basic concept )

Freehanded, right...

 

[Komaqtion]

It was !, but I copied the actual text, and then just changed stuff
But the changed stuff is freehanded

  • ( ETC. )

wow that's so hot will all the comments!!! :thup:

 

[Winterherz]

i found a small glitch to the floating text thing, it seems if i try to cast a single-target heal-over-time spell(20 seconds) on multiple units, the floating text only appears on the first target(no floating text on succeeding targets), and i have to wait for the duration to complete and cast the spell again on another unit to make the floating text appear again.

do i need to adjust something?

my variable targeted unit is[ target unit of ability being cast], which i think only works on 1 unit and floating text glitching

please help
