[Trigger] Texts: DMG, EXP, HP, MP, ect.

[Thanatos_820]

You probably been fooled of the topic if you mean about game text messages. I need a basic trigger that shows a number over their head when they get hit, lose HP, lose MP, gain MP, gain HP, lose EXP, gain EXP, and all of the other thinks you can think of that is a number.
For example, I need a damage trigger that shows the exact damage on top of the attacked units' head. If you still don't know what I mean, download Heroes of Darkfall 1.13 by necross_19, in that game, when you damage a unit, the damage integer is on top of the unit's head, showing the amount of damage dealt. I'd appreciate any help.

... You could use the Crictical Strike abilityas an dummy for the attack damage, just set all fields to 0 and the maulipulation just set it to 0.01, no biggy anyway and hid it in an spellbook then disable it.

There should be a system on wc3sear

 

[Thanatos_820]

Okay, but I don't want to use a system. I want just "triggers" to operate them, not systems.

... If you read my post above that doesn't need triggers, also making things yourself is pretty hard if you don't know what to do though.

No what I mean is a quick number above the unit's head that will go away in a second. Critical Strike will be ascending for a few seconds and I don't want that. Try the map if you don't get it. The map is on the attachment.

The next trigger might work for you. Change/remove the floating text properties to get the desired effect.


DamageToUnit
Events
Conditions
Actions
Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String((Integer((Damage taken))))) above MyUnit with Z offset 0.00, using font size 15.00, color (100.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%), and 0.00% transparency
Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds
Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds
Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees


You also have to add an event to the previous trigger. You have to do it this way because you can't do it the regular way. (Duh)

The bad thing is you have to add every unit's damage taken event to the trigger that creates the text. If you are buying/training units you have to add their events here too. Anyway, this one has worked for my purposes.

AddEvent

Trigger - Add to DamageToUnit <gen> the event (Unit - MyUnit Takes damage)

well, you can edit some files in mpq itself, so critical strike text lasts for 1 sec, and color is white

 

[paskovich]

Even if you can edit the mpq file, it is not map-specific. I mean, you edit yours, ok, you see white critical strike, but other poeple playing the map do not!

 

[HappyTauren]

i didnt mean that mpq. export from war3x.mpq file, and change it. than import it in your map. that's gonna replace file ingame, but when you restart warcraft, it will return to normal.
