Floating Text Over Unit

[Clan ENP]

Ive always wondered how to do this. How do you put floating text above a unit and stays there the whole game?

 

[Just_Spectating]

you'll have to have a periodic trigger to create and remove a floating text over the unit so that it will always have the position of the unit


it'll be leaky so you'll have to use variables and such.

actually the unit isnt moving, its basically saying how created map and such

• Actions
  • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads *text* above *your unit* with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
  • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Enable permanence
  • Floating Text - Show (Last created floating text) for (All players)

in JASS you can simply change the position of a Floating text would be better i think

native SetTextTagPos takes texttag t, real x, real y, real heightOffset returns nothing

so im guessing that im going to have to use variables for this?

if the unit isnt moving then all you have to do at map initialization is create a floating text above the unit and enable permanence
