Floating Text display?

[phuc1570]

Is there any way to show up up to and more than 20 floating texts in-game? I need to show up more than 20 names of the lands in the three kingdoms battle fields called Dynasty Warrior: Chibi, Luoyang, Jianye, Chengdu,....I try to show them as many as possible but still some are missing in game, inexplicably?!

Also about Floating Text, when I replaced the new Font .TTF, use ABC (TCVN3 for (.)VNArial.TTF for Vietnamese) as input method, it is shown up as wrong writing accents.

+Rep for you if you could help me for these 2 prbs. Thank you in advance.
Phuc.

The most floating texts you can have at one time are 99. (You can have 99 per player if you use GetLocalPlayer()) But anyway, you should post the triggers. 20 floating texts should work just fine. Also make sure you have destroyed all of the previous floating texts. (or at least most of them)

For custom fonts, you should refer to this tutorial (if you haven't already):

        • Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for (Picked player) emitting Visibility across (Entire map)
        • Visibility - Destroy (Last created visibility modifier)
        • Visibility - Enable black mask

The Visibility and Black mask at last in my knowledge are for the visibility of the Floating Text in the terrains. If game has just finished loading, the player could not see them since they have revealed the map. But even so, just around 12-14 out of 20 floating texts are shown up in the game. I check the center of every region and realize that some are missing.

For the Font, (like tutorial picture below but with VNArial.ttf) I replaced the new font vnarial.tff to all in game interface (Jass Newgen), everything(unit objects,tooltips,menu texts..) is shown up correctly with Vietnamese font and signs but the floating texts..
