Is it possible to make a damage indicator that pops up near you when you hit a entity, which tells you how much damage you did to that entity. I found a entity called "text display", but IDK if that actually works at all with what I'm trying to do. Any way to do this?
You're correct, the way to do this would probably be to make an overlay with a text-display that runs a procedure that gets the damage dealt. (You might also need to mess around with some global player variables to get this working properly.) Another alternative would be to have a selection of pre-designed overlays based on the amount of damage dealt, which you could then custom-design instead of using the built in fonts and stuff.
