Unit custom text

[kokon]

Can i print some custom text for a unit.
Like a kill count?

This was not possible in the olden days. But may be it is possible now?..

Get an understanding of what is a hashtable and what is a unit indexer.

This is a gui question. i have a variable. Now I need to display text like in sc2 or similar

yes you can. what exactly are you trying to do?

 

[kokon]

i want to display kill count like in sc2... consider that I have the value I only want to display it in the unit details

Oh yeah. Theres no natural way to do that in wc3. You could use any pre-existing ui to display the value or use custom ui. Custom ui is prolly the way to go.

you can probably achieve this the "right" way with custom ui, or you can do it the janky way like this:

• Unit - Set Name of Footman 0001 <gen> to ((Name of Footman 0001 <gen>) + |cffff0000Kills:5|r)

this is not a full working solution, just an example. if you use this in it's current form more than once it starts stacking the Kills:5 at the end of the name...
