played awhile with floating text...

but wasn't able to make anything great...

I saw some map with floating text having something like effect...

i tried changing velocity and change color various time with wait 0.5 sec


but got nothing special :(


anyone know how to make good use of them?

If you make a spell you can make a time remaining number above the unit, refreshing every 0.01 seconds.

I used it in my Oil Gathering System (see Trigger Repository) to simulate the "+100" effect that appears over the units when they bring back gold.

I use it in my map to make a diablo2 style chat where if you start your message with "!" the text after the exclamation will appear and follow your hero for a period of time, use substrings to remove the exclamation and to test if the first character is "!"
