[Solved] Floating text strange problem

[Kazeon]

guys I have problem with floating text, where if I make several floating text periodicaly or in some triggers, and then store it into a variable, then I set the velocity, duration, etc, sometimes it wont work. sometimes the floating text just dissapeared suddenly and mysteriously. I have no idea how to solve this problem. please someone help me.

post the trigger here, so we can help you

There can only be 100 text tags at a time. If you create more, it overwrites the last one.

I just write the example case. Dont need to post the trigger.

I only use about 7 floating text every second and it wont work correctly. :/

okay I will write the specific case
at trigger 1 (damage detector) I create floating text and set the velocity, lifespan to 2 seconds, etc
at trigger 2 (healthbar) I make the healthbar floating text dissapeared when the target dies, but strangely, the damage text dissapeared very soon after created.
I can't understand what's going wrong, I have store them into a variable too, but still...

example? then how could you know it doesn't work? if it doesn't work then that means you are using trigger, then post it here

rheiko, I use that floating text in very complicated case, it's about 10 or more triggers working at once. I won't post it here.

We cannot tell what you did wrong then. The described scenario does not occur perse.

 

[Rheiko]

meh, it's not hard copy it here
well, it's up to you

think about it, the only thing you can do with floating text is just store it as variable and then set the velocity , lifespan, etc. What else? I don't really need to post the trigger right? My trigger is just do the same. Just in different event. I'm just wondering about why did some floating texts dissapear strangely when I create them very periodicaly? My prediction is floating text is very fragile, where we can't use it too often.

Mark this thread as solved. Main problem is we have to create text no more than 100 at once.

maybe there is something wrong with your triggers, to make sure of it post them here

You said in trigger2, you make a text tag disappear. So you hide it or you destroy it. In any way may this affect text tags you did not want to depending on your implementation.

I suspect you save the text tag in a variable, overwrite the text tag, the variable still points to the same id and thereby hits the new object. Text tags are not agents, therefore not reference-counted, you can release their id even before all variables are gone and then have some new value in the variable.

this is solved?

 

[Kazeon]

yeah. solved after I read my triggers. Actually they create more than 100 hidden text. lol
