Floating Text

[K.V.]

Can someone come up with an easy idea about how to display the damage that an ability deals?
Is there a way without using the A unit takes damage event ?

If you have access to the point the ability is dealing damage, yes.

save current life
deal damage
damage dealt = savedLife - currentLife (there can be some some small rounding erros)

Some damage detection systems can guess fairly accurately when damage received is from an ability or an auto attack. Otherwise if all hero abilities are trigger enchanced abilities one can make the damage call used a function which also creates the floating text.
