Centered floating text?

[RobertMKD]

Hi,
Is there a way to set the floating text centered? Currently, the text appears at the right from the point or unit where it is created..

Is there a way to change this?

You need to do some approximation how much you need to shift it to the left on x-axis, depending on the length of the text.
It could look something like for text "Hello":

xText = xUnit - 10*Length("Hello")

so the xText would be xUnit - 10*5 = xUnit - 50

So for each character of the text we shifted it 10 to the left.

I am pretty sure that WC3 font is not fixed width. As such the width of the text varies with the contents of the string, and the size of the text. That said one could probably write a function that maps text size and character to an approximate in game width, but if the results are accurate enough is another question.

Yes, it will be only an approximation.
