its a floating text, and fade out effects. if i recall right there is a RPG system that includes floating text for normal attacks and also spell damage, search in spells forum i think its called RPG system.

Just make a critical strike ability with %100 chance and x1 multiplier. Then, disable this skill for all players in triggers and add this to whoever you want. You're done. If you want it to show when spells are used, then it has to do with floating text and many variables.

um h3k241... that trigger wont work... at map intialization as an event... just simple make a generic unit event and make floating text on whether the unit is attacking or if you want to show spell damage... that is a little trickier... but i would suggest DL an rpg spell package... and simply read and learn how to make it... plus if your new to GUI... well you might have a problem with some spellpacks since they are done in jass... but then jass is not that hard to use.

Well I tried copying that thing. And it was in some sort of text not in triggers. and when I copied it from the RPG system pack thing it stood error on my map when I had pasted it, and when trying to save the map.

It's not possible to help you without seeing the error

have you checked the "Automatically create new variables when copying triggers" option in Preferences ?

This is what happens when I have pasted the damage thing stuff into my map.

Well its not difficult to build this trigger by hand..

but i got a similar problem ^^
if i implement h3k241's trigger into my map, the game crashes due to a lag caused by picking 300 units into a group.. is just my pc too bad or what. ? o,,O

Please note that it is Elapsed game time and it is not Periodic time.
