Text

[DexterFstone]

when I play LOD Map I see a big text on the bottom of the Time of Day how to make it?

 

[HerlySQR]

I'm not sure, but I think for that the creator must alterate the code of the game, or maybe it can be done in vanilla.

Custom UI most likely:
ui-fdf | HIVE

Not recommended if you're new to triggers

 

[Warseeker]

Floating text maybe? Or a cinematic filter?

"Ban stage"

"Ban stage"

I see. Well, you need to use JASS because you can not move texts with GUI. Luckily though, you can use custom scripts in GUI:

• Custom script: call DisplayTextToPlayer(Player(0), 0, 0, "your message")

Play around with both 0 integers to move the text.
Player(0) means Player Red in case you didn't know.

Edit: Actually, I think that's a floating text. Anyway, this is how you do it:

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

This is an altered upkeep text. Play around with that in game interface

no is not, text any time I play is different

You would know if it's Floating Text because you could move your screen away from it.

So I don't think it's Floating Text, although that could be a viable option depending on what you wanted to do.

Otherwise, it's either doing what GIMLI said or using the Custom UI natives (BlzCreateFrame) to create a Text Frame.

Yes, you can also change the text color using this native:

call BlzFrameSetTextColor(BlzGetFrameByName("yourAdHere", 0), 0x7409ae)

It uses hex codes, so 0x7409ae is some purple or something, my man eyes are bad at distinguishing these.

You won't be able to change font or font size directly using the native meant for it because it doesn't work during runtime for some reason. As far as I'm concerned it works if you make your own fdf though. That's why I'm using BlzFrameSetScale for size.

Also, this is just an example I put together in about 15 minutes, so obviously I could have put all this into one single trigger utilizing substrings, or I could have done many other things.

I do not know about Jass and your code is not working for me
how to fixed?

If by "not working for you", you mean it doesn't compile, you must be on a version older than 1.31, and in that case there is nothing you can do with my, actually correct, solution.

It's not floating text despite what Warseeker implied. I'd also not use DisplayTextToPlayer for this purpose simply because it's a terrible "solution", and just considering it makes me raise an eyebrow at you.

If you're indeed on an older patch, and can't make what I posted work, ironically, Gimli's idea with modified upkeep texts is the most feasible one.

• Custom script: call DisplayTextToPlayer(Player(0), 0, 0, "your message")

How to change font size?

 

[HerlySQR]

I think you must ask to @DracoL1ch, i think he knows how.

 

[Warseeker]

• Custom script: call DisplayTextToPlayer(Player(0), 0, 0, "your message")

How to change font size?

You can't as far as I know. You can only change the font size of floating texts.

 

[DexterFstone]

You can't as far as I know. You can only change the font size of floating texts.

Custom script can't change font size?
How I can see all code of custom script?

 

[GIMLI_2]

You either use upkeep text, which has a bigger font size (like in the screenshot), or you create a textframe, which lets you change the font size to whatever you want. You cannot change font size of displayed text (you probably can, but that would change the size of other displayed text aswell)
