Text Tag like the one you see when you get killing reward

Hey, i have to make a texttag exactly the same as the one you see when you kill a unit and you get the reward, im prety new to texttags this is what i have so far:

JASS:

function KillReward unit uDead, integer iReward, force fDisplay returns nothing
    local texttag tt
    local location loc = GetUnitLoc(uDead)
    
    set tt = CreateTextTagLocBJ("+" + I2S(iReward), loc), GetUnitFlyHeight(uDead), 10.00, 99.61, 82.75, 7.06, 0.00)
    call ShowTextTagForceBJ(false, tt, fDisplay)
    call SetTextTagVelocityBJ(tt, 55.00, 90.00)
    call SetTextTagFadepoint(tt, 2.00)
    call SetTextTagLifespan(tt, 3.00)
    call SetTextTagPermanent(tt, false)
    
    call RemoveLocation(loc)
    set loc = null
    //call DestroyTextTag(tt)
    //set tt = null
endfunction

Am i doing something wrong? are the colors ok and the height? what about the text size do i have to somehow modify it? and about the cleaning of leaks, if i destroy the texttag without using waits (take out the comments marks) does it still work?

Thanks a lot!

FatalError	Looks fine to me...and you need to uncomment those lines, else it leaks. Why don't you just test it and see what works and what doesn't? Don't ask if something works if you haven't even tried it yourself...

Woah, now that I look at it again, you totally messed up on syntax. WorldEditor probably disabled the trigger, which is why it's not working.

Try this:

JASS:

function KillReward takes unit uDead, integer iReward, force fDisplay returns nothing
    local texttag tt
    local location loc = GetUnitLoc(uDead)
    
    set tt = CreateTextTagLocBJ("+" + I2S(iReward), loc, GetUnitFlyHeight(uDead), 10.00, 99.61, 82.75, 7.06, 100.00)
    call ShowTextTagForceBJ(true, tt, fDisplay)
    call SetTextTagVelocityBJ(tt, 55.00, 90.00)
    call SetTextTagFadepoint(tt, 2.00)
    call SetTextTagLifespan(tt, 3.00)
    call SetTextTagPermanent(tt, false)
    
    call RemoveLocation(loc)
    set loc = null
    set tt = null
endfunction

And don't destroy the texttag, SetTextTagLifespan will destroy it.
