How to make damage and healing numbers appear with the damage system?

[HolyWillRise]

Is it hard to make every damage or healing that you do to appear as real numbers and different colors?

I have the damage detection system but i downloaded it yesterday, so i don't know how it works and how to do that.

Noo, i know all the colors, the question is, how i can do a system/trigger that detect damage dealth and healing, to make numbers appear

Events:
- DamageEvent becomes equal to 1.00
Actions:
- Create floating text reading (DamageEventAmount), etc.

Can 1 trigger work for all spells and attacks? Or i must do different trigger for every ability

Yes. Basically you can make everything in one trigger as long as they all share the same event.

As for the damage floating text, here's an example:

• Damage Floating Text
  • Events
    • Game - DamageEvent becomes Equal to 1.00
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • DamageEventType Equal to DamageTypeBlocked
      • Then - Actions
        • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads |cff808080Blocked!|r above DamageEventTarget with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • DamageEventType Equal to DamageTypeCriticalStrike
          • Then - Actions
            • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (|cffff0000 + ((String((Integer(DamageEventAmount)))) + !|r)) above DamageEventTarget with Z offset 0.00, using font size 11.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • IsDamageSpell Equal to True
              • Then - Actions
                • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (|cff00c8ff + (String((Integer(DamageEventAmount))))) above DamageEventTarget with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
              • Else - Actions
                • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String((Integer(DamageEventAmount)))) above DamageEventTarget with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
    • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 32.00 towards 90.00 degrees
    • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
    • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2.50 seconds
    • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 1.50 seconds

You would know how it works if you stopped asking questions every 2 hours and actually read how to use a system you downloaded, because 1. it has instructions, 2. a lot of info and options, 3. there's a map with examples.
So please, just use your brain for things which can be easily solved if you stopped being this lazy. There's a lot of info, you just need to dig in and figure it out yourself

    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempLocation[1])
    • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 250.00 towards 90.00 degrees
    • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
    • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 1.00 seconds
    • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 0.50 seconds

This isn't complete but is the one I had available in the map I currently have open in the world editor. It works fine with normal attack damage and spell damage. It also comes with a flat 15% crit chance for all attacks, so you might wanna edit that to your liking.

You can very easily edit the font colors of the different damage types this way.

Ahh, Well. Still thank you xd ^^

@HolyWillRise
That trigger I made for you for your Sleep spell uses the Damage Engine. It runs whenever ANY unit takes damage. So all you have to do is add floating text to that trigger and set it's value to "DamageEventAmount". You can use that one trigger for ALL of your Damage Engine needs.

Check this out to create floating text or use the links that were posted by others:
Floating Text

Just put the floating text at the very bottom of the trigger (and not inside of that If Then Else statement with the "DamageEventTarget" has buff Sleep).
