2.)Stay With A Triggering Unit.

1. Make something like this...

• Events
  • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads This is how to do i... above Footman 0000 <gen> with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
    • Wait 1.20 game-time seconds
    • Floating Text - Destroy (Last created floating text)

or if you have multiple text at the same time:

• Events
  • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads This is how to do i... above Footman 0000 <gen> with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
    • Set FT = (Last created floating text)
    • Wait 1.20 game-time seconds
    • Floating Text - Destroy FT

1)

• Floating Text - Create floating text that reads Example at (Position of (Triggering 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): Disable permanence
• Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 1.20 seconds
• Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 0.60 seconds

The Floating text will vanish till 1.20 seconds.

2) You should use JASS for that

hvo-busterkomo was wrong, thats the worst way to do it so he does not deserve + rep. DragoonZombie on the other hand told the propper way to do it while keeping it MUI.

For number 2, you will have to create a text tag with the string above the unit every 0.05 seconds and have it last 0.05 seconds.
