A unit generic event

[.DotQ]

A building/unit cannot be constructed in just any area, but only within a specific region designated for its placement. Here's the trigger for my building, which can only be built within the designated region.

• Mortar
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins construction
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Constructing structure)) Equal to Guard Tower
  • Actions
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads Unable to build her... above (Constructing structure) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Constructing structure)) using Abilities\Spells\Demon\DarkPortal\DarkPortalTarget.mdl
    • Unit - Remove (Constructing structure) from the game
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Floating Text - Destroy (Last created floating text)

ok, and what issue do you have with it? It's not clear what you want from your post.

Ah, I didnt clarify about the issue. The issue is the only building can be built within the region but cannot be built by any kind of building, its like blighted building but in this case only the region where I can put but using triggers.

There's a Boolean Condition to check if a Unit is in a Region. Add that after the Unit-Type condition.

Then learn how to properly use Floating Text so you can destroy it with ease. You can't use Waits like that without problems and the Wait is unnecessary anyway.

How do we know that after 2.00 seconds has passed the (Last created floating text) is the same text that we wanted to destroy? Remember, the (Last created floating text) literally means the last one that has been created. It could have come from an entirely different trigger, or a new instance of this same trigger. When you use Waits you create moments in time where things can change. If you are referencing global variables like (Last created floating text) after a Wait action then you're just asking for trouble.

How to create "crit"-like floating text?

Hey, I want to create floating text that looks like the ones after blademaster's critical strikes. I'm having troubles with making such texttags. Can anyone help?

Thank you for clarifying what my future mistakes could be. Thank you.
