[Trigger] Floating text not showing up what it should show up.

[Hemske]

Hey there, i've made this trigger for a spell that has a certain percentage (right now 100, but thats just for testing it out) to deal a percentage (this level 5 percentage) of the units maximum hp in extra damage:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Level of Ogre Smash for (Attacking unit)) Equal to 1
    • (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or equal to 100
  • Then - Actions
    • Unit - Cause (Attacking unit) to damage (Attacked unit), dealing ((Max life of (Attacking unit)) x ((Real((Level of Ogre Smash for (Attacking unit)))) x 0.05)) damage of attack type Hero and damage type Normal
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String(((Integer((Max life of (Attacking unit)))) x ((Level of Ogre Smash for (Attacking unit)) x (Integer(0.05)))))) at (Position of (Attacking unit)) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 12.00, color (50.00%, 50.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
    • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees
    • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
    • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 3.00 seconds
    • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 5.00 seconds
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the weapon of (Attacking unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\Incinerate\FireLordDeathExplode.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
  • Else - Actions

Everything works as it should, except that the floating text just shows a big 0. Why? I can't seem to find anything wrong with the create floating text, maybe someone can see what goes wrong.

Integer(0.05) is 0.

 

[Hemske]

But i am multiplying with the level and the maximum hit points. That doesn't work in floating text?

 

[Berb]

x (Integer(0.05))

This is multiplying everything by 0. As Deaod said, the integer conversion of (0.05) is 0.

String(((Integer((Max life of (Attacking unit)))) x ((Level of Ogre Smash for (Attacking unit)) x (Integer(0.05))))))

Let's break this down.

We have:

• String(((Integer((Max life of (Attacking unit)))) x ((Level of Ogre Smash for (Attacking unit)) x (Integer(0.05))))))
• (Integer((Max life of (Attacking unit)))) --> This is fine. Let's call this (1).
• (Level of Ogre Smash for (Attacking unit)) --> This is also fine. Let's also call this (1).
• (Integer(0.05)) --> This evaluates to 0. (1 x 1 x 0 = 0)

So, how can i solve this then? I need the text to show 5 % of the units maximum hp.

 

[Berb]

Don't multiply by an integer.

 

[Deaod]

String(Integer(((Max life of (Attacking unit)) x ((Real(Level of Ogre Smash for (Attacking unit))) x (0.05)))))

 

[Hemske]

That doesn't work for me, I cant do , or . where the 0.05 should be. :/

 

[Berb]

Do a "Convert Integer to String" and then a "Convert Real to Integer" when you first start making this trigger, when you're converting everything into a string for the text-tag (floating text) message.

------------------------------
Edit:
Nevermind, i had one convert at the wrong spot. Thanks for the help guys. It's working now.

Like this:

• Set Message = (String((Integer(((Life of YourUnit) x 0.05)))))

Or, more specifically in your case:

• Set Message = (String((Integer(((Life of YourUnit) x (0.05 x (Real((Level of Acid Bomb for YourUnit)))))))))

Though I used Acid Bomb instead of Ogre Smash though.
