Display Text or Floating Text Tag...

05-23-2006, 02:37 PM	#1
Sharingan	I seem to have problems with Transparency and fading of texttags... What I want to accomplish is a text that would fade IN slowly and fade out slowly... either Display Text or Floating Text. But all the text_tags do is to appear and disappear instantly ...even though I set the "alphacodes" and fading time... Am I doing something wrong?

JASS:

function FadingText takes string msg, integer red, integer green, integer blue, real x, real y, real spd, real fadetime, real life returns nothing
local texttag t=CreateTextTag()
    call SetTextTagText(t,msg,0.024)
    call SetTextTagPos(t,x,y, 0.00)
    call SetTextTagColor(t,red,green,blue,255)
    call SetTextTagVelocity(t,0,spd)
    call SetTextTagVisibility(t, true)
    call SetTextTagFadepoint(t, fadetime)
    call SetTextTagLifespan(t, life)
    call SetTextTagPermanent(t, false)
    set t=null
endfunction

To be honest Sharingan, you would need to use timers, handle vars and some Jass knowledge

Sharingan	Hmm, actually, i was also wondering wether it's possible to use Displayed Texts...
