Im about to snap. WTF is wrong with my trigger. Whenever I put in a normal "Create Floating Text at Point" it works, but when I do it the way I was doing it in the picture it doesn't show anything.

Rather than creating a text tag, you have been manipulating it's settings actually. Use "Create Floating Text" action and then follow it with functions listed in the picture. Btw, your script leaks location.

Im sorry... how can I use my CharacterCreateText array with the "Create Floating Text" function? There doesn't seem to be any way to connect the 2......
 
Miles111, you can either use GUI function: Create Floating Text (...) and follow it up with:

  • Set CharacterCreateText[1] = (Last created floating text)
  • // your functions here
Or, make use of custom scripts:

  • Custom script: if udg_CharacterCreateText[1] == null then
  • Custom script: set udg_CharacterCreateText[1] = CreateTextTag()
  • Custom script: endif
  • // your functions here
