[JASS] How can you create Floating Texts without using BJs?

[DevilDuke1995]

Could somebody explain to me what im doing wrong with this function? PLZ???

function LOLOMG takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit u = GetKillingUnit()
    local texttag t = CreateTextTag()
    call SetTextTagPosUnit(t, u, 0)
    call SetTextTagText( t, "DIE SCUM!!!", 10)
    call SetTextTagColor(t, 80, 20, 100, 0)
    endfunction 
    
//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_DIESCUM takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger TRG = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerUnitEventSimple( TRG, Player(PLAYER_NEUTRAL_AGGRESSIVE), EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_DEATH )
    call TriggerAddAction( TRG, function LOLOMG )
endfunction

I think you forgot

call SetTextTagVisibility(t, true)

I think you forgot

call SetTextTagVisibility(t, true)

I've tried that but ill test it again

EDIT: nope doesnt work

 

[DevilDuke1995]

Seas =) No this doesn't work - I tested if for myself to =O

Any suggestions?

 

[M0RT]

It works, but the text is so big, you can't see it. The correct size would be about 0.02-0.03, not 10.

When u use BJs 10 is normal

EDIT: YEAH IT WORKS THX U R THE BEST

Yeah, but BJs 10 is different measurement. Just look in blizzard.j, see how the functions work.

Also it's 100% transparent. SetTextTagColor takes values in range 0-255, with 255 being full color/full visible. So alpha=0 makes it invisible
correct would be:

    call SetTextTagText( t, "DIE SCUM!!!", 0.03)
    call SetTextTagColor(t, 200, 50, 255, 255)

EDIT: this function is used by BJs functions:

/===========================================================================
// Scale the font size linearly such that size 10 equates to height 0.023.
// Screen-relative font heights are harder to grasp and than font sizes.
//
function TextTagSize2Height takes real size returns real
    return size * 0.023 / 10
endfunction

What are you talking 255 is 100% trasparent

//Edit lol I took too long haha XD
but ya

call SetTextTagText( t, "DIE SCUM!!!", TextTagSize2Height(10))

or

call SetTextTagText( t, "DIE SCUM!!!", .023)

is correct

I was referring to myself. That I took too long. I had the Post reply window opened a while and after I hit post, there were several posts already.
I corrected the grammar mistake.
