TextTag - What Am I Missing?

[Tyrulan]

    function FloatTextOnUnit takes string text, unit u, integer r, integer g, integer b returns nothing
        local texttag t = CreateTextTag()
        local real textHeight = 0.023
        local real velocity = 0.044375
        local real xvelocity = velocity * Cos(90 * bj_DEGTORAD)
        local real yvelocity = velocity * Sin(90 * bj_DEGTORAD)
        
        call SetTextTagText(t, text, textHeight)
        call SetTextTagPosUnit(t, u, 7.00)
        call SetTextTagColor(t, r, b, g, 0)
        call SetTextTagVelocity(t, xvelocity, yvelocity)        
        call SetTextTagPermanent(t, false)
        call SetTextTagLifespan(t, 2.00)    
endfunction

It's this line

call SetTextTagVelocity(t, xvelocity, yvelocity)

function SetTextTagVelocityBJ takes texttag tt, real speed, real angle returns nothing
    local real vel = TextTagSpeed2Velocity(speed)
    local real xvel = vel * Cos(angle * bj_DEGTORAD)
    local real yvel = vel * Sin(angle * bj_DEGTORAD)

    call SetTextTagVelocity(tt, xvel, yvel)
endfunction

Set it to BJ or just do this

local texttag t = CreateTextTag()

call SetTextTagText(<Insert Text ^_^>,"origin",0.023)
call SetTextTagPos(t,X,Y,GetUnitFlyHeight(GetTriggerUnit()))
call SetTextTagColor(t,255,255,255,255)
call SetTextTagFadepoint(t,3.)
call SetTextTagPermanent(t,false)
call SetTextTagVelocity(t,0,0.0455)
call SetTextTagLifespan(t,4.)
call SetTextTagVisibility(t,true)

That was not the problem.

However you inadvertently solved my problem anyway!

It was here:

call SetTextTagColor(t, r, g, b, 0)

I figured 0 transparency meant it was visible.

Thanks NHer.
