theres a thread just above this one that i started. in it a guy named edwardsswollentoe or something made a reply about an undead map that already has a trigger similar to that set up in it. i cant remember the exact name of the map, but the trigger was set up to show damage when a unit walks on a trap of spikes. basically i think that you could copy that and paste that into your map. then you could find where the actual text is and change it. (if you dont know how to color text, then look for a program like war3coulour). i believe you can even find that one on this site in the dl's section. |

Care to send a link to the thread? I am still kinda sketchy myself on floating text (I haven't really needed to use it yet but still for future use I might need to and it wouldn't hurt knowing the details) |

Don't bother with triggering it - the "miss" text will still appear. You're going to have to edit the strings that control those things... You want to override UI\MiscData.txt from War3x.mpq, and UI\MiscUI.txt from War3xLocal.mpq. It's pretty self-explanatory... will let you change the color, size, etc of the "Miss" tag. Unfortunately I don't see how to change the actual string it displays... working on it now. |

You can change the text using game interface, it is about 3/4 of the way down the list. You can change any text in the game through there! And heres the text to make it light gray |cffc3dbffBlocked!|r |
