The gist of what I am doing is creating a floating text that displays the damage taken by any unit to only the owner of the damaged unit. I was initially going to use a 100% critical strike and base all damage (including spells) off of attacks. However, because every unit in my game has a dodgeable attack (I think its artillery or missile), critical strike doesn't display text (though damage is still calculated). So, I decided to use the following code and if it had work, it would've given me extra functionality with its support of damage over time, spells, and attacks. Problem: The Text won't show at all. I have / am currently print at every stage but I can't find the problem. If its not too much trouble, would someone mind helping me? If you have a suggestion for another way of doing this, speak up!

I would suggest you : Trigger IniRecordEvent : Trigger: IniRecordEvent Events Time - Elapsed time is 0.50 seconds Conditions Actions Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions) Loop - Actions Trigger - Add to ShowText <gen> the event (Unit - (Picked Unit) takes damage)Trigger RecordEvent : Trigger: RecordEvent Events Unit - Unit enters (Playable Map Area) Conditions Actions Trigger - Add to ShowText <gen> the event (Unit - (Entering Unit) Takes damage)Trigger ShowText : Trigger: ShowText Events Conditions Actions Set TempPoint = (Position of (Triggering Unit)) Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String(Event Response - Damage taken)) at TempPoint with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%), and 0.00% transparency Floating Text - Show (Last created floating text) for (Player group((Owner of (Triggering Unit)))) Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 1.50 seconds Custom Script : call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)Would be easier, mh ? |

Yes, I was thinking of doing it that way but I heard rumors that using the event[specific unit] takes damage doesn't work. Haven't tried it yet, but it looks prospective. ~Thx~  |
