Show damage over unit.. someone already done it?

[Raydrik]

because I DID
i dont wanna u guys think im the one cuz im not.
i NEVER EVER found a map/spell/system/post about this.
"when the unit attacks the damage it causes appears over the enemy unit " AKA final fantasy.

well everyboddy knows the Damage Taken event response can only work with predetermined units.

i did a turn around, thanks to the map Damage meters.

i submited the map here.

im only posting cuz i wanna know if anyone ever thought/done it without JASS. and btw its very simple ( in dont know how i never thought about it...)
and it works with any units anytime anywhere.
(units DONT need to be placed before map initialization).

in case anyonee says, i tried removing the "add" trigger cuz it seems useless, but removing it for me made the system not work.

and the variable "damageaken" seems useless to. but sam story as above, removing it for me caused it not to work. feel free to upgrade this system.
