When you kill an unit , and that unit is an ally of yours ,(unit type , no heroes) it will show exclamation mark with your color , exclamation mark is over head and its floating text , ( the exclamation mark will have your color if you denied that creep ) .So how can i do this?

There are 2 ways to get that exclamation mark:
1) You make/get a exclamation mark model like the Blizzard one, but with Team Color skin, then you apply the color of the owner of killing unit to it
2) You make the Blizzard exclamation mark model the model of a dummy unit with flying height to make it float over the head. Then you change Vertex coloring of the unit to the color of the owner of killing unit. Vertex colors go in Red/Blue/Green percentages, so you'll have to use If/Then/Else commands 'If Player color of Owner of Killing Unit Equal to Red, Change vertex of UNIT to 100,0,0, else If Player color of Owner of Killing Unit Equal to Blue, Change vertex of...', etc. On top of this, the exclamation mark is not an attachment, so it will not move along with the unit when the unit is moved.

A unit dies

Owner of (Dying Unit) equal to Ally of Owner of (Dying Unit)

set temp_point = position of (dying unit)

join.gif
create floating text: "!" at temp_point using #R, #G, #B, #T, size #

join.gif
set life of floating text to # seconds

// then you can add to the kill prevention counter, or whatever else.

I can't remember which trigger changes the direction in which floating text disappears towards, but that's generally all you need for it.
