RPG Floating Texts
System​

Hello there,

This is the RPG floating texts system I just created, it really helps your map to be more user-friendly, aswell as increasing the level of the gameplay interface.


Features:

• Floating Text on Level Up
• Floating Text on Each Attack (Approximate Damage)
• Floating Text on Unit Orders (Optional)
• Floating Text on Player Chat Message (Optional)
• Floating Text on Ability Cast
• Player Color Codes (Set)

How to use:
The system is REALLY easy to import, make sure you have your "File>Preferences/General>Automatically Create unknown Variables while Pasting Trigger Data" checked, just download the map, attached to the post, then copy the category and paste it into your map.

There's an Initialization trigger in which you need to set some variables depending on your map, I'm guessing no RPG map has more than 15-20 unique heroes, so that wouldn't be a problem for you.

Notice: The floating text for your hero's damage is approximate, in order to get the exact ammount make sure that your heroes' values in the fields "Combat - Attack - Damage Number of Dice" and "Combat - Attack - Damage Sides per Die" in your object editor are set to 1.

I'm open for suggestions and I'll be upgrading and adding stuff to my system if your responses are positive and actually find it useful.

The system's code must be featured in the system's original post.

Submission rules.

 

[Manix]

Oh well, my bad but it's 8 triggers and it's GUI, am I supposed to post all of them?

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

As you have is perfect.

I just realized that if the hero has items with damage bonus it wont display it... I'll work on that tomorrow.
