Floating Damage Texts

[Stormrage256]

@Smumpy

Hey! So I love the product, I am having some issues implementing it though, I am a little confused what I am doing wrong, as far as I can understand I have followed steps 1, 2 and 3, applying them to my enemy, however, the floating text is not appearing, I am wondering if I am supposed to include the calculate damage function included in the testDamagePawn Blueprint? (maybe that is what I am doing wrong?)

Also you can’t see in pic but the get all actors sequence is attached to EventBeginPlay as instructed

also wanted to point out that i am using line trace for my hit interaction

Quick Update: I found the further notes on integration section and tried the method of connecting a getPlayerController node directly to the spawn Floating Texts within the Floating Text Spawner BP to test if it was working, i found that even with the player controller hooked directly to it, the floating texts are still not appearing.

Hi Smumpy, thanks for sharing your screenshots. Everything seems fine on that front. And don’t worry about the Calculate Damage function. I just added it as a simple example for dealing with texts for multiple damage types and modifiers like critical hits. So you can go ahead and use the logic you already have in your BP.

Now since the texts are not spawning at all, I’m guessing that it might be due to the following Player Controller validation check failing at the start of the Spawn Floating Texts function.

So could you try passing the Get Player Controller node when calling the spawn function from your **AstralWardenBP **like this:

If that works, we can try to pass it through Instigator to it and thus ensure that damage is shown only if the player was the instigator.
