Trouble with floating text

03-04-2007, 09:10 AM

Hello,

I made a fully working backstab except for one thing... when a unit backstabing another it comes a floating text were it says "backstab" and then i made a trigger that destroys the floating text, but if a unit has wery fast atk speed the floating text wont dissapear.

Heres the trigger:

Floating Text - Create floating text that reads Backstab at (Position of (Attacked unit)) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (0.00%, 100.00%, 0.00%), and 0.00% transparency

Set Backstab[0] = (Last created floating text)

Wait 2.00 seconds

Floating Text - Destroy Backstab[0]

How to destroy more than 1 floating text in the same trigger?

ixmike88	Obviously the Backstab variable is being overwritten so you could use an array or I'm pretty sure this would work: JASS: local location u=GetUnitLoc(GetTriggerUnit()) local texttag t=CreateTextTagLocBJ("Backstab",u,0,10,0,100,0,0) call PolledWait(2) call DestroyTextTag(t) call RemoveLocation(u) set t=null set u=null

Why not just add an expiration timer for the floating text?
Should look like

Trigger:

Actions

Set temp_point = (Position of (Triggering unit))

Floating Text - Create floating text that reads <Message> at temp_point with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (0.00%, 100.00%, 0.00%), and 0.00% transparency

Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds

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

Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_point)
