How to make a floating text stay above a unit

[cooldud3]

How is it possible to make floating txt above unit and follow it. By default if i make it it stays where the unit was

In GUI, you probably need to make a trigger

• Events
  • Game - Every 0.1 second of the game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Game - Remove Text
  • Set Text = <Default>
  • Game - Create floating text above unit's head
  • Set Text = Last created floating text

You might be able to get it more smoothly and less laggy in JASS.

Inorder to make the update almost every frame (and thus 100% smooth as no frame has it in the same position), the text has to move every 0.01667 seconds (as the average FPS is 60). However in the new patch the FPS might be set higher or lower depending on the capabilities of the screen the user is using and sadly that number can not be fetched via triggers.

I would however recomend every 0.03 seconds or even 0.05 as the human eye is incapable of telling that it is not being rendered every frame. By increasing it to that number it uses less processor time and thus will make less lag when you use a complex spell or have a lot of background triggers running.

Remember that you are limated to at most 100 text tags (floating text) objects at once (after which the last created one will always be passed as the newly created one.

yes i agree with that it's true but careful cuz it would cause more lag than normal even though u increase to that number so i won't really recommdend it if u don't want laggy game... like i said it's just a recommendation from me

unless you need the text to change alot

the smoothest solution would be to create 2dimensional model attachments, in the form of whatever text you need, and attach them to the overhead of unit X.
