damage text help
 

i have a offline player world and i was wondering how to do damage text that says how much damage was done to the player/npc, like the text on GK and Zodiac, but i don't know how to make the text show up as the amount of damage that person took. the best i could think of was to make a trigger for every possible amount of damage the player/npc could take then use a few "showimg" triggers to show a number, but.. that would take up a huge amount of script. could someone tell me if there's a better way?

Just display the damage value. Use string concatenation if you need to add other stuff.

is there something that displays values? sorry i don't know much about script could you be a little more specific?

Values and strings are often treated the same. Just replace the string with the value.

do you mean make the npc message the damage?

I believe so. Why didn't you try that immediately before asking here?

He's talking offline, as in GS1.

because the npcs message their health if they messaged damage you wouldn't be able to see their health.

Is health display not separate from message?

i was using hearts in the beginning but after a while i noticed that npcs can't have more then 2047 hearts... and i needed more so i changed all the npcs to run off of the value this.hp instead of hearts, and then i used hearts for allies/enemies so they don't attack the wrong npcs, the old rupees script had too many glitches.
