[Question] Floating Text

[haxic]

If I _Disable_ Permanence and set _Life Timer_ to 2 seconds on a Floating Text, will that Floating Text get Destroyed/Removed, or do I have to Destroy/Remove all Floating Texts manually - to reduce memory leaks and such?

 

[Anachron]

Its will get destroyed/removed automaticly.
But for the others, you should destroy them yourself.
Wc3 has a limit of 90 texttags. Some say 100, but it begins to bug with 90. (Own experience)

Here's a picture how many texttags there can be. it's only 100

 

[Anachron]

Yeah, but try manipulating data of them, it gets bugged after 90.

 

[Nexor]

Hm I don't know.

But texttags from shadow strike and critical strike count in as well.

 

[Anachron]

Really? Whoa, even I didn't know that.

 

[Nexor]

Nah, I just did a test, and it seems, that somehow they are hardcoded, they don't count in.
I'm sad, I thought I was right

 

[Anachron]

Hmm yeah, I guess maybe TextTags are limited to 100 only because of the massive amount of abilitytexttags you could have?

Been playing around with TextTags for a while now, and I just don't get it to work... I save all TextTags in an array, count which array its currently on. When the array have reached 50, its restart from 1, but before creating a new TextTag on 1, it removes the previous. etc

If ( Counter greater than or equal to 50
do (
set Counter = 1 )
else (
set Counter = Counter + 1 )
)
Destroy TextTag [Counter]
Create TextTag
change permanency = 0 (and some other text settings)
set TextTag[1] = last created Floating Text

when this "loop" have past a few times, then the texts start f*cking up totally... anyone got any ideas?

• Display Damage Copy
  • Events
    • Game - GDD_Event becomes Equal to 0.00
  • Conditions
    • GDD_Damage Greater than 0.00
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Owner of GDD_DamageSource) is in Global_Players) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Global_Floating_Counter Greater than or equal to 50
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Global_Floating_Counter = 1
          • Else - Actions
            • Set Global_Floating_Counter = (Global_Floating_Counter + 1)
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(Global_Floating_Counter))
        • Floating Text - Destroy Global_Floating_Text[Global_Floating_Counter]
        • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String((Integer(GDD_Damage)))) at (Position of GDD_DamagedUnit) with Z offset 25.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
        • Set Global_Floating_Text[Global_Floating_Counter] = (Last created floating text)
        • Floating Text - Hide (Last created floating text) for (All players)
        • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to (Random real number between 60.00 and 90.00) towards (Random real number between 75.00 and 105.00) degrees
        • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
        • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 1.50 seconds
        • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 1.00 seconds
        • Floating Text - Show (Last created floating text) for (Player group((Owner of GDD_DamageSource)))
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing

Here, a little easier to handle xD
Well all my triggers works, for now atleast... Its just the Floating Text that mess up
