Floating text and fog

[hdm]

How to make to players do not see floating text in the fog of war ? Current when a floating text is created it is visible to everyone even if they can't see the unit in the fog.

Check to see who has vision of the unit then create the floating text only for those can see it

Check if the point (or unit if that is supported?) is visible to a player and only create it if so. It will not pop into view when the player gains visibility mid duration but this is expected since neither does critical strike text.

And what's the event/cond/actions for check if the unit is visible for each player ? Should I use "Or any conditions" and make "VIsible to player 1/player 2/player 3,etc" ? In my case, the event is "A unit start the effect of an ability" and then the floating text is the ability name, but it goes throught Fog :/

Boolean Comparison > Visibility - Point Visible To Player. In GUI, you do not have proper means to create texttags for single players. However, you can limit the visibility via Floating Text - Show/Hide.

Iterate over your players, check their visibility of the unit, add them to a player group as appropriate, use the player group in the Show/Hide-action.

But do I have to make it 1 by 1 ? Like "Visibilty - Unit Visible to Player 1" and then "to Player 2" and there goes... If possible give me the triggers. Currently mine is:

• Floating Spell
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    • (Ability being cast) Not equal to Doppel Walk (This wont display text)
    • (Ability being cast) Not equal to Grenade Original (Nor this)
  • Actions
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (Name of (Ability being cast)) above (Triggering unit) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
    • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 100.00 towards 90.00 degrees
    • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
    • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2 seconds
    • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 0.65 seconds

but from here I don't know where or how to move.

No, you can use loops.

• Player Group - Remove all players from visGroup
• Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • 'IF'-Conditions
        • ((Triggering unit) is visible to (Picked player)) Equal To True
      • 'THEN'-Actions
        • Player Group - Add (Picked player) to visGroup
      • 'ELSE'-Actions
• Floating Text - Create floating text that reads <text> above (Triggering unit) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
• Floating Text - Hide <texttag> for (All players)
• Floating Text - Show <texttag> for visGroup

The Unit Is Visible To Player function also considers invisibility by ability.
