It's a GANI shown; usually a player attribute, but it can also be a showani. Tig recommended using a player attribute rather than a showani to me a while back.

Here's a hint; since it's a GANI, you can peek inside Era's. It was written by Skyld, and it's in use on GK and Era, so you shouldn't just copy it. Just get some "ideas" from it.

To use that gani you could do something like this I think:

Save the script as mydamage.gani, then set
player.attr[10] = "mydamage.gani,100";
(10 can be any number between 1 and 30, 100 is the damage shown)
That is attaching the script to the player.

The player.attr[10] is then set to "" (empty string) again after a few seconds for clearing it, then when setting the player.attr[10] to "mydamage.gani,100" again later then onCreated() is called again.
