Simple GUI help

[TheWhiteWolf]

I am making a floating text system. When a unit inflicts damage, the damage inflicted will be shown as text. It must be in GUI. My problem is the EVENT.
Do I have to put

• Events
  • Footman 0001 Takes Damage
  • Footman 0002 Takes Damage
  • Footman 0003 Takes Damage

And so on, for every single unit in the map, or what?

For simple text u need just two triggers: one main for text show and other with loop event for picking unit and doing this actioin

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in TextDamage and do (Trigger - Add to Create Floating Text <gen> the event (Unit - (Picked unit) Takes damage))

Why would you register all units every 2 seconds, infinitely?
Once registered, a unit doesn't need to be registered again...

Using condition (Attacked Unit) won't work with "X takes damage".

This "system" of your fails at soo many levels...

 

[HammerFist132]

Reason - If more units will be spawned what then

Map work I have tested it 1000 times. If u do not believe go Epic War search Damage Detection System v1.3

 

[helekiller]

either use the damage engine or use something like this...
event: unit - unit enters playable map area
action: add to another_trigger the event (triggering unit) takes damage

for second trigger....
event: (empty)
action
create floating text above triggering unit

 

[gorillabull]

you need to add an event via a trigger since the game needs a specific unit handle as all units are unique when it comes to taking damage
look for the function trigger add event in the trigger functions section
