floating text inconsistency ***Resolved***

[Spannerbag]

Hi,
first off could I ask where's the best place to seach for know/reported bugs?
I have an issue here that I don't think is a real bug, but rather something I'm strugging to pin down.
That said it'd be handy to know for sure.

Edit: long post deleted, I'd used [filter] parameters instead of [filter_location] ones because I hadn't read the wiki properly

Cheers!

Take a look at the code for Delfador concentrating in "The Sceptre of Fire" (the scenario in Heir to the Throne, not the campaign).

Didn't read the wiki properly

[floating_text]

Floats text (similar to the damage and healing numbers) on the given locations.

StandardLocationFilter: the text will be floated on all matching locations simultaneously (do not use [filter]).
text: the text to display.


Edit: to be clear, I just saw (do not use [filter]) and the idea that it used [filter] kinda stuck

Thanks for pointing this out, it's frustrating that I keep managing to make stupid mistakes

I've already reverted to using locations and as it works it can stay that way. It's done and as finished as it's going to be at least 'til I calm down.
This should've been a straightforward (ish) "breather" scenario after a large battle but it's caused me more grief than some much more complex scenarios.

Thanks again for pointing this out.

Thanks for that, much appreciated.
Still can't believe I missed that [floating_text] uses a location filter

Thanks for the advice, annoyed with myself that I couldn't sort it out myself!
