Floating Text Always Bug

[Ribenamania]

I've been triggering for quite a long time, as I made a map. I found some bugs in floating texts, I don't know how it occurred but well... I have a damage detection trigger and I used floating text to show damage dealt, I also used floating texts to show skill name above the caster

When the game begins, the floating texts work well. After some time, they comes out and disappear faster than the time I wanted it to. Sometimes, the floating text doesn't even last for 0.01 seconds.

Can anyone give me a solution here? Is there a proper way of DestroyingTextTag? What am I doing wrong here?

It's hard to say. Have you reached the maximum number of text tags in your map?

Setting a texttag fade point and fade time does not destroy it is set to be permanent.

 

[Ribenamania]

XD so I have to

call SetTextTagPermanent(text, false)

before

call DestroyTextTag(text)

?

 

[Cokemonkey11]

I believe either one will work, but text tag permanent false requires a lifespan to be specified.

 

[Ribenamania]

call SetTextTagText(text, I2S(R2I(damage)), 0.023)
call SetTextTagPos(text, x, y, 0)
call SetTextTagColor(text,255, 0, 0, 255)
call SetTextTagLifespan(text, 1.00)
call SetTextTagVelocity(text, xvel, yvel)
call Wait(1.00)
call DestroyTextTag(text)

This is what I did, do you think it destroys the texttag?

 

[Cokemonkey11]

change the wait and destroy to this:

call SetTextTagPermanent(text, false)

 

[Ribenamania]

So.. when I have lifespan and permanent it'll destroy itself automatically after the lifespan?

SideQuestion: Does GetOwningPlayer(Unit) leaks?

 

[aznricepuff]

Like codemonkey is trying to say, you don't need to destroy texttags manually. If you set permanence to false and lifespan to some finite number, once the texttag dies it is automatically destroyed with no leaks.

EDIT: GetOwningPlayer() does not leak.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

players cannot leak. For your own reference, things that can be created and destroyed leak (groups, units, locations, etc)

The bug still occurs -.-

 local texttag skilltext = CreateTextTag()
 local real xvel = 0.05546875 * Cos(45.00 * bj_DEGTORAD)
 local real yvel = 0.05546875 * Sin(45.00 * bj_DEGTORAD)
    call SetTextTagText(skilltext, ("|cff00ff00" + I2S(R2I(heal)) + "|r"), 0.023)
    call SetTextTagPos(skilltext, GetUnitX(target), GetUnitY(target), 0)
    call SetTextTagColor(skilltext, 255, 255, 255, 255)
    call SetTextTagLifespan(skilltext, 1.00)
    call SetTextTagPermanent(skilltext, false)
    call SetTextTagVelocity(skilltext, xvel, yvel)

It pisses me, my map has already 7 versions and I still can't fix this bug.

First, find the value of bj_DEGTORAD and replace it. the bug is really weird, should work.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Wait what? Really?

 

[Ribenamania]

XD I think* it's fixed. Maybe it's because I

local texttag text = CreateTextTag()

if *condition then
set texttag stuff
endif



So, I didn't destroy the texttag if the condition doesn't hit. I've fixed that so I think it's fixed =D
