Make floating text move ?

[DJAB]

Hey everyone, this might seem a really stupid question ( because you might know it) but all the floating texts that i create remain at that point on the ground. I want them to move with the screen, just like the way in DotA. If i move the screen with the mouse the text moves with it not just fixed to a unit or point on the map. How do i do it ?
I heard something about velocity and permenance but i dont know what they are =( ? Please help !

I don't remember such floating text in dota. maybe you're just referring to game texts.

Game - Display to (All players) the text: Text

Or do you mean the floating texts that appear when you kill a creep.?

Velocity will move the text.
Permanence needs to be disabled if you wish the floating text to be removed.

Here's an example:

• Actions
  • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads <YOUR TEXT HERE> at Point with Z offset <TEXT HEIGHT>, 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 <YOUR SPEED HERE> towards <YOUR ANGLE HERE> 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

First action creates the text
Second makes it move with certain speed towards certain direction
Third enables the text to be destroyed
Fourth Destroys the text in one second
Last makes the text start fading after half a second

So what's the difference between the floating texts and the game texts ?
Do game texts move with the screen ? then i might be talking about them, sorry ^_^

Game texts are the ones that will appear as hints, quest messages stuff like that. In Dota, the game texts are the ones which appear after you enter some commands like -ap, -test, -xm, etc.

Floating Texts are kinda different. In Dota, floating texts are the things that appear when you deny a creep (!), kill an enemy tower (+300) things like that.

Game texts always moves with the screen while floating texts require some triggering to do that. I think.
