[JASS] Easy Floating Text Script!

[Jetherit]

I made an easy to use floating text function that is good for showing damage done and temporary things like that. It takes the string you want made into the floating text, the string for what color you want (options are "red","orange","yellow","green","blue","purple", and "black"). And then the coordinates for where you want it to be placed. It has a 3 second lifespan, but I think you could figure it out if you wanted to change that.

function Text takes string s, string color, real x, real y returns nothing
   local texttag t = CreateTextTag()
    call SetTextTagText(t, s, .023)
    call SetTextTagPos(t, x,y, 100)
    call SetTextTagVelocity(t, 0, .0277)
        
        if color == "red" then
            call SetTextTagColor(t, 255, 0, 0, 255)
        elseif color == "orange" then
            call SetTextTagColor(t, 255, 138, 8, 255)
        elseif color == "yellow" then
            call SetTextTagColor(t, 255, 255, 0, 255)
        elseif color == "green" then
            call SetTextTagColor(t, 24, 190, 0, 255)
        elseif color == "blue" then
            call SetTextTagColor(t, 0, 0, 255, 255)
        elseif color == "purple" then
            call SetTextTagColor(t, 82, 0, 132, 255)
        elseif color == "black" then
            call SetTextTagColor(t, 0,0,0, 255)
        endif
    call SetTextTagLifespan( t, 3.00 )
    call SetTextTagFadepoint( t, 2.00 )
    call SetTextTagPermanent( t, false )
    set t = null
endfunction

No offense, but aren't there like thousands of these functions on wc3jass already? And the place you were looking for would probably be Small Code Snippets.

NICE (spam) !!!!

 

[Silvenon]

You're not half bad either.

What is it? ...

Silvenon, there could be many others of these, but I am not aware of them. It was only intended to help people. If you feel it necesary to point out that I'm being redundant, then go ahead.

Cherol, its a JASS function that creates a moving floating text at a target point. Useful for autocast triggers.

call SetTextTagVelocity(t, .0277 * Cos(1.57), .0277 * Sin(1.57))
// equals to
call SetTextTagVelocity(t, 0, .0277)

Thank you Disciple, its been modified. Like The Device >___>...

 

[Silvenon]

Like I said, no offense. It's nice that you did this, I appreciate it. There is no such function in the Small Code Snippets yet, so go ahead and post it there.

Im starting to get sick of these "+rep pls" threads

 

[Silvenon]

Then go see this site's submissions and be ready to puke.

Need, this isn't for rep, if that's what you're thinking. I just made it for a map, and I figured it could be useful. Silvenon, I'll post it in snippets.
