Floating Text

[Kakerate]

In my map, I create Floating Text that for some players has a transparency of 100%, and others 0%. I want floating text to fade out for players who can see it. But using war3's default API,

• Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds
• Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 1.00 seconds

I believe this resets the transparency, causing all players to be able to see the text. I could be wrong on this, though. Can anyone link me to some script somebody's already made or throw some new script at me? ;3

Thanks.

Seems like getlocalplayer is what you're looking for.

There is a tutorial regarding its usage.

• if GetLocalPlayer () == PlayerYouWantToMakeFTVisibleTo then

do actions

• endif

uhh no. Lol I use GetLocalPlayer to set the transparency upon CREATION of the text. I'm talking about a loop trigger for DESTRUCTION of float texts.

you dont really need to destroy them, lifetime will do it for you. but in any ohter case, you have to save every tt you'd like to destroy and work them out when needed

oh right.. hm..
I don't think it'll reset it.

But even if it does, just do the localplayer thing again and it should be no issues.
