Numbers, text

[NO-Bloody-Name]

I was wondering how to create this numbers and text while doing "Multicast" in DotA with Ogre Magi or "Venomancy" with Viper with this yellow number symbolising damage...

 

[Darkdread]

Do you mean floating texts floating near the hero? [I never play DotA so I don't know what you mean,but I had played it before]

 

[NO-Bloody-Name]

I don't know if it is floating text but it is simmilar to "Critical Strike"

Can you post a picture?

Something like this?

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Animate Dead
  • Actions
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads 200 at (Position of (Casting unit)) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
    • Custom script: Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_L)

Im not sure how to make a floating text depend on the Rank of the ability tho :/
Then the color is just to change to yellow, you need to search that up.

If integer level of custom ability of unit equal to 1
do bla bla bla

or
floating text: damage x lvl of custom ability of unit..

Yea something like that.

Why do you use "Create Floating Text At Point" where you can "Create Floating Text Above Unit" ?
It saves performance (TOTALLY ENSURED, no leaks + no use of custom script = more faster performance)

• Floating Text - Create floating text that reads 200 above (Triggering unit) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency

 

[Tozza]

Yea, i forgot about that. Try that instead and defskull, you know how to base the text that depends on the damage done?

Didn't mean like that Defskull, meant that the text on the floating text, eg. 200/400/600 shows depended on the level.

Back to Topic:

Here you have NO_Bloody_Name

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Your Spell
  • Actions
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads 200 above (Casting unit) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Floating Text - Destroy (Last created floating text)

Edit: Attached a test map

 

[Super-Sheep]

lol use fade/decay and death times not use Destroy. derp.

 

[NO-Bloody-Name]

yes, I understand, but how to make it move slowely and fade away?

Tozza

- You can use A unit starts the effect of an ability instead of A unit finishes casting an ability
- You can use the function (Triggering unit) instead of (Casting unit)

Bloody

• Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees

This is for the Floating Text to "move"
Just need to edit its speed, doesn't need to edit the 90.00 degrees because it is always looks cooler when the text moving upwards

• Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence

To prevent Floating Text leaks

• Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 5.00 seconds

Its lifespan (before the floating text is "destroyed"

• Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 4.00 seconds

Fade-away time of the text
