Floating Text Question

[Aoen]

What would be the GUI code for making a given floating text variable, makes that variable's floating text rise up while fading gradually (eventually disappears)

I thought:
Actions
Floating Text - Create floating text that reads ! above explosionUnit with Z offset 100.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%), and 0.00% transparency
Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 0.50 seconds


Would work, or at least make the floating text fade, but it doesn't.

You need to set lifespan of floating text also. To make it float upwards change velocity.

You also need to Disable Permanence.

To make it float upwards change velocity.

Would I have to use a for loop for that, or does it do it automatically over X seconds?

You also need to Disable Permanence.

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

There is a function..action...w/e you want to call it that changes a texttag...floating text...w/e's velocity. I forget what it's called in GUI but it should be something like Floating Text - Set Velocity.

 

[overload119]

• Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees

You can mess around with the velocity amount, I believe 64 is like normal Blizz, 32 is a little slower. Only need to run it per Floating Text just once.

Sorry about earlier, didn't read Disable Permanence in your post. My bad.
