floating text from real ???

[TheReaperBG]

how can i convert real value to string so i can create a floating text above unit (I'm giving a random real value lets say 1 to 100. How can i make the picked random number between 1 and 100 to create it as a floating text ?)

One thing you should know, if you are planning on making random Real numbers between 1 and 100, it will become numbers like 1.338844 or 56.234242

If you want whole numbers on a easy way, use Integers

I think you are meaning it this way

• Events
  • Something Happends
• Conditon
  • Some Conditions
• Actions
  • Set TempInteger = (Random integer number between 1 and 100)
  • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String(TempInteger)) above UNIT with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency

am i right?

oh, one final thing. This Floating Text is Permanent. It wont go away. There are ways to remove them overtime, but ive not included them here

k so it worked and the way to remove ... ? ... i thought of a way (show/hide)

hmm there is more elegant way:

show last created floating text
set velocity of last created floating text to 64 towards 90;
set permanence to: expires
set fading age to some number around 0.5
set life span to aprox same number like fading age

and see what happens

for a custom script ? o and i forgot to say that i need to take life (HP) whit this variable so the integer didn't work
