Floating Text Above Unit Matches Player Color

[NightElf125]

• Floating Text - Create floating text that reads Countered... above |cff9932ccFrieza|r 0031 <gen> with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency

How do I make it so that the Countered part matches the color of the owner of the unit who is using the counter ability on the target??

I think you'll need to do if/then/else to find out what the player's player color is.

You need to set up an initial string array of max size being the max players in your map.

• setcolours
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set PlayerColour[1] = |CFFFF0303
    • Set PlayerColour[2] = |CFF0042F
    • -------- e.t.c. --------

Then when you make your text you do...

• Floating Text - Create floating text that reads PlayerColour[GetTriggeringPlayerID()]+Countered+|r... above |cff9932ccFrieza|r 0031 <gen> ...

That will colour the text with the hex code in the array index corresponding to the ID of the triggering player.

Ofcourse if you do this you can do it anywhere else in the map including the second part of that text action.

PlayerColour[GetTriggeringPlayerID()]

Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)) I guess. That is some Jass you got in there ;p

Yup, Pharaoh is correct.
