Floating Text Follow -- HELP!

How would I make some floating text follow a unit without leaving behind text? I tried a simple Create Floating Text on Unit and then Destroy it, but it still leaves some behind. Help please!

I don't belive that there is an effective way to do this. You could try making a loop that destroys and recreates the text so that it is constantly being repositioned above the unit. The only other solution that I can think of would be to mess around with the velocity, but then you;d still have to detect the direction and speed the unit was movinng at... Anyway, I wish you luck in your endeavor!

Let me mention that you can only set velocity once, at the beginning when the floating text was made, so to keep on setting it to the units end position wouldnt work after the first time. I doubt there is any way to do this effecientally.
