Freakazoid	I don't understand, do you want it always to show up when you attack the unit, or how to detect critcal strike??

PlasticAngel	There is a trigger called floating text, just use that and color it red. It's very simple, even I can do it hehe.

In the future I suggest you structure your questions better. Something more like this would have been more appropriate:

You know when you hit someone with Critical Strike red text floats up? How can I make that same floating text wherever/whenever I want without using Critical Strike?

Siphonized	Doesn't have to be red, I just want to know how to make a floating text that floats upwards and then is removed, like Critical Strike... Every time I've tried to do it, the text is permanent, unless I use Last Created Floating Text, but that doesnt work if I get two "Crits" in a row. Then the prior stays.

Trigger:

Untitled Trigger 001

Events

Conditions

Actions

Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence

Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees

Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 5.00 seconds

Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 4.00 seconds

Floating Text - Change the age of (Last created floating text) to 0.00 seconds

Add those functions after you create your text tag, with the required values put in.

Permanence - allows/disallows fading etc
Velocity - movement in a certain direction
Lifespan X - texttag will be removed after X seconds
Fading Age X - texttag will start fading after X seconds
Age X - how long it takes to fade (I think)

Default stats for Critical Strike from MiscData.txt:
// CriticalStrike text tag data
CriticalStrikeTextColor=255,255,0,0
CriticalStrikeTextVelocity=0,0.04,100
CriticalStrikeTextLifetime=5
CriticalStrikeTextFadeStart=2

How hard is it to understand? :P

Siphonized	"(I think)" is not a solid answer to my question, hence me asking again. But nevermind, I got it to work earlier, just forgot to tell you. Lifetime apparently is lifespan + fading age. Because when I put lifespan at 3 and fading age at 2, (2+3=5), I get the correct fade and duration.
