Floating text not fading?

Text flies up the screen forever, with no fading. What am I doing wrong here?

You are lacking this action :

• Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence

If floating text is set to permanent, then it will not be fading away.

Fyi, read this for positing trigger directly instead of image : How To Post Your Trigger

Also, problems related to your own trigger code should be posted in Triggers&Scripts section.

Thanks and I know how to post a trigger, but I had a ton more actions inside that trigger which I felt were unnecessary to include it would just make it messy. In this case just an image was all that was needed.

Still isn't working, text flies up forever.

Right, replace

• Floating Text - Change the age of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds

to

• Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 5.00 seconds

and see if it works.

Thanks, I just figured it out before you posted. Seems like such an odd way to label things. So is age opacity?

 

[DD_legionTN]

I'm unsure what "age" does, since I couldn't test it effect out, nor seeing anyone using it, but it is definitely not opacity.

Lifespan is the time where the floating text will be destroyed(removed).
Fade time is determined by fading age and lifespan, where fade time = lifespan - fading age.

Another question so I don't have to make another thread. How can I add experience to a unit via trigger?

Edit: nvm found it

fading age, not age, pls check

 

[Kaosh]

only "lifespan" will destroy floating text immediately when the time expires, not fading. To fade the text, you must use both fading and lifespan. And the time for fading text must be less than the lifespan time. And the text fades from the time of fading to the time to remove (lifespan).
