[Solved] Floating text just for one player

[HerlySQR]

I know I have to use "GetLocalPlayer" but I'm not acquainted about that and I don't wanna do errors because I heard if that is bad executed it will "disconect" the other players , how can I do that? And I wanna make that text move above a unit.

No need for get local player, Floating Text has an option to hide/show for certain players. I think you have to Hide it for All Players, then Show it for the desired player.

you can't cause desync by floating texts, they ARE async for every player

If you are on latest patch you can also move the floating text.

• Floating Text - Change the position of (Last created floating text) to Point with Z offset 0.00
• Floating Text - Change the position of (Last created floating text) to No unit with Z offset 0.00.

Probably need a periodic trigger to make the text follow the unit.

I hope that is not something of recent versions, we have this problem before.

You can't desync with text tags (see post above).
If you want the functionality of showing a text only to certain players, you can use, just as example:
call SetTextTagVisibility(textTagVar, GetLocalPlayer()==playerVar) or
call SetTextTagVisibility(textTagVar, IsPlayerInForce(GetLocalPlayer(), forceVar))

Oh, I see there is an option for that, I feel so stupid, thank you.
