Obviusly creating a floating text for local player desyncs (because it changes the value of a global variable, but what about using the native SetTextTagVisibility() to hide it to a player, would it desync? I believe that it won't because it would only hide the floating text, and I don't think it would cause network traffic. BTW: I will officially start to call floating texts text tags due to some really nice natives I found and 2 new functions I uploaded to the vault |

What natives do you mean? Maybe they could be added to WEU and UMSWE |

I found them in common.j in a section called texttag api I think You can change a floating text position / color / make it to move around the screen. hiding them and some other thing I can't remember But I am still asking the question |

I don't think it will desync either. However, I belive that there will be even less chance of desync if you set the alpha to 0 for all other players instead of hiding it. |

I gave you the wrong directions, however these are the natives: Code:
native CreateTextTag takes nothing returns texttag native DestroyTextTag takes texttag t returns nothing native SetTextTagText takes texttag t, string s, real height returns nothing native SetTextTagPos takes texttag t, real x, real y, real heightOffset returns nothing native SetTextTagPosUnit takes texttag t, unit whichUnit, real heightOffset returns nothing native SetTextTagColor takes texttag t, integer red, integer green, integer blue, integer alpha returns nothing native SetTextTagVelocity takes texttag t, real xvel, real yvel returns nothing native SetTextTagVisibility takes texttag t, boolean flag returns nothing |
