Floating Text question

[i_am_cuul]

Lets say i want a floating text that displays something and rises and fades.

• Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String(HealTicks[(Integer A)])) above Target[(Integer A)] with Z offset 0.00, using font size 9.00, color (10.00%, 100.00%, 10.00%), and 0.00% transparency
• Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees
• Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds
• Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 1.00 seconds
• Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence

Is this:

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

needed?

Also, does

• Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String(HealTicks[(Integer A)])) above Target[(Integer A)] with Z offset 0.00, using font size 9.00, color (10.00%, 100.00%, 10.00%), and 0.00% transparency

leak a point? as in set position of unit to a temp point then remove it after this

You cannot set a fade and/or lifetime onto a Floating Text if you haven't disabled permanence before. So yes, it is needed and must be run before the lifetime and fading age are set.

I use this:

• Floating Text
  • -------- Creating and setting floating text --------
  • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (<String>) above (<unit/point>) 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): Disable permanence
  • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees
  • 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

It works nice, only the fading is a bit long, but you can change that ^^
